5150, admitting you have a drug problem is a good thing. What do you plan to do about it? Even though you might be sorry for the things you did during your drug abuse, there is fogiveness out there. However, you need to realize there are cosequences. Forget AntiOnline... that is the least of your problems. There are others out there that need you, and trust me, you are not there when you are frying on chemicals. You need to focus on YOU first and try to see where things went wrong.
As a recovering addict, it's a daily struggle and no recovering addict is ever 100% over it. It's just a growing process that entials responsibility to yourself and finding ways to cope with problems more constructively. That's not easy, and will not happen overnight.
If you want somebody to talk to, I'll be here for ya man.

The choice to do drugs is a choice that each individual makes. But often that is the last concious choice a person hooked on drugs makes.
Once the drugs get a hold of you, they make you work to get them. Your choices are gone. They take control.
If it was as easy as choosing not to do it then no one would ever get hooked on them.
The blame lies intially with the one that choses to do the drugs but no one chooses to lose control and become hooked. Whether alcohol, tobacco or actual street drugs, prescription drugs, doesn't matter. No one wants to be an addict when they grow up.
Compassion for those that have learned they are not perfect, that they have faults is necessary. After all it could have been you, you made a different choice to start with, but what if?
Be thankful for those that have made the first step. Each small step is a huge step for those afflicted.
You are on your way 5150. Congratulations on your first step and good luck with all the rest.

i just have to say that Conf1rm3d and Palemoon's banter was 'excellent' ala Bill and Ted.
a bit more on topic now tho,
i always thought that it was Americans, that some how made cannabis illegal, because it was a better textile than cotton. and might have ruined their economy because theirs was cotton. but it turned out that was no more than a theory. fixating on big business, i gave little thought to alcohol and tobacco companies, because if cannabis was legal it would probably only be sold in bars or off-licences, so you would end up buying more drink. and well, you would smoke more tobacco if cannibis was legal, so its safe to say it wasn't the tobacco companies. more recently i figured, its most likely the pharmacuticle companies. THC is a naturally occuring compound, and so could not be paitented, and sold. made sence for a while. but it doesn't explain why tobacco companies can sell nicotene.
anyway, it turns out that back in 1912 (or was that 1902 :) ) in the united nations (second) opium conference (where they were decieding on what to do with opium laws and trade routes) some egyption foreign minister had a problem with the committes decision. he didn't like the pending fact that other countries could continue exporting cannabis, and he would no longer be able to export opium. so the committee asked him, to tell them (effectively tell the world) why cannibis should be illegalised. and his reply was something to the effect of...cannabis is a dangerous and addicting drug. it causes [i]acute hashism[i/] in frequent users, and some cases can progress into whats known as chronic hashism. the eyes become blood shot and closed and the sufferer becomes disorentiated and sick, eventually going insane. seemingly, egypt had a high percentage of insane people in the country at the time, and this was used as proof that cannabis was infact, dangerous. in the years following the crimanilisation of cannabis sativa, the number of insane egyptions in the world rose dramatically.

Why thank you, although, I'm still not really sure what the hell Palemoon was talking about. Especially the parts about "American English" or "I was adressing a Yank" (sic)...That guy's definitely out there....oh well...
5150_ You might want to check out this link. It should be a lot more helpful than posting this kind of stuff here.
I still stand by my original post. Two weeks of substance abuse does not a junkie make. But, if you feel you need help after only two weeks check out the link......good luck, I suppose.

drugs are bad dont do drugs...drugs are bad dont do drugs...hey, um children, where'd the example plant go, who has my example? CHILDREN!!!! WHO HAS THE EXAMPLE!?!?!?
for those of you who dont know where thats from it was on a south park episode a while back... but as for the writing thing, it just has to do with whether you care what it looks like, we are all decent writers some better than others but if you dont care to write good then you dont and then everyone thinks your dumb

Maybe it's possible that he took speed for 2 weeks straight, not just two weeks out of his whole life. He was apologizing for the way he acted, and he was completely ripped apart for no reason whatsoever. I'm honestly sick and tired of senior members who come into valid threads and belittle the people in it, bullying them into submission just because they can. It's ridiculous. No one wants to play your cliquish little games. Drug abuse is not a funny matter and shouldn't be made fun of, especially when someone apologizes and admits the problem, it's just sad that he's not part of community where he can make an honest mistake and try to redeem himself for it.

well, I for one, think it's foolish to even admit it to us
get help.. from a professional.. not from a forum
that's my 2 cents

I agree that it was very uncalled-for to come into a thread and tear this guy apart because he is saying he's sorry. As many useless, retarded, generally stupid threads that come onto AO every single day, and one of a fellow member (who's been here for a good while and has contributed to the community) is belittled by others for no reason that I can think of. As I said in another thread: If you don't like what they're saying, shut yer eyes and don't read it. Simply.

Bah! A cry for help or just a bad come down? Either way, there's better places than here to seek help...5150- I posted a link in a previous thread if you want forums to discuss this type of thing in...
If I came across a little harsh than I apologise. It's just the way I post. I've been doing it for months and months. It doesn't win me any friends, that's for sure, but on the same note it's nothing I lose sleep over...
GG, you've only been here since May. Please don't tell me how to post......

He wasn't crying for help, he wasn't asking for it, nor was he really posting to discuss it, he was simply apologizing for his past posts.
