Question by Bridget♥: How can i stop getting addictions?
90% of my family members are either
a. a drug addict
b. an alcoholic
c. or have an addictive personality

I have an addictive personality and im trying to live a toxic-free life. Im having a lot of trouble.
I have gotten addicted to: marijuana, alcohol, pills, ecstasy, and cocaine.
Getting “un-addicted” to something is a long and difficult process. I am so SICK of going through it over and over.

I love life, and i don’t want to live it under the influence of an addiction. I’m tired of spending all my money, and im tired of fighting with my loved ones. No matter how hard I try, I end up depending on some sort of toxic substance to feed this strange and unexplainable urge.

How can I stop leaching to every activity that seems to take me away from life, even though I have a wonderful life ??

Counseling

seek counselling. If at all possible, move away from your family, or those specific members who are addicted. They’ll have a bad influence unless they can stop for good. Move into a slightly more upmarket area – if you can.

Try to keep yourself busy with new stuff so you don’t fall into using drugs/drinks as a coping mechanism.
