dilemma

winbuck_2000 · Newbie

I am currently 25 years old. I am engaged and will be married on July 5 of this year. I am a certified school psychologist. I did my first line about a year ago. I was always reluctant to try it because I have an addictive personality. Well, I did try it and now I find myself always wanting it. My fincee does it too but he is able to shut it off an on. I can't. When we go out I am always the one to pout my way into getting some when we already made a promise not to do it. Now it's to the point that he will go to bed and I will stay up by myself until it's all gone. I am going to talk with him today because I know I have an issue. However, he works steady midnight and thats where I get the cravings because I am bored and alone. what am I to do. I know I do have a problem. I already tapped into our wedding money for coke. I guess I just need to know from you guys with experience....he will support me 100%...can me and him do it alone....including a trustworhty friend to keep tabs on me when he is working midnight?....

Should you answer it? Or, at least did you ask yourself this question?
I will give you some info to consider. According to statistics, most people who quit smocking did it by themselves, without any professional intervention or support group. 85% of people who tried cocaine never get addicted. No one yet discovered gene of addiction. There is no proof, that addictive personality exist. However, you can see that your behaver is real and increasing problem of your well being.

In your personal or professional opinion, what type of psychological intervention will work the best for you?

Since you asked, I think thats alot to ask of a friend - the only one that should be responsible for being clean is yourselves. Now it sounds like you don't think you can do it alone, and if you don't think you can you have condemned yourself to failure. So if you need help where do you get it? Here is a good place to start - there are also 12 step groups you can try , treatment centers - the type of help is really the decision you should be making here. But thats just one opinion.
