If any of these sounds like you then chances are you have a problem with drugs and should probably seek help. At first, change can be very scary and unknown but living the life of a drug addict is not a life anyone wants to live. Looking back on it I am so glad I got help and didn’t stay in my addiction because if I did, I would either be in jail or dead by now. Seeking help in treatment is what saved my life and could save yours, too. If you go to rehab, they will take you to 12-step meetings and show you a way of life without drugs. You can be happy without using drugs. I’m happier now off drugs than I’ve ever been on drugs or even before I did them.  If you or a loved one are struggling with substance abuse or addiction, please call toll free 1-800-951-6135.
