and using drugs.
not good not good
if i used and then lost time i'd understand it more
or is it that i use then lose my memory for the bits that led up to that?what are you supposed to do about it.
except...
try and figure out what you were up to before this all began...
try and figure it out and get back on track.
its just that it is so very draining.

doesn't sound like using is helping your situation from what you are writing here.
what options do you have? any ideas for what you'd like to do here?
can you live w/o the drugs? are they necessary for functioning for you?
if not then consider experiencing life w/o them for a few weeks to "feel" what is going on in regards to missing time.
drugging and drinking to survive is draining. most sides of life are a lot brighter and clearer when not under a cloud of substances for survival.
supposed? why not take the should and oughta out of that and just allow the possibility of self directed desire for change?

I smoke a bit of pot sometimes. Drink a little. Not too much because it doesn't really agree with me.
It helps me get to sleep. So I don't have to take sleeping tablets (which are fairly addictive to me).
I don't think that mostly I use and then miss time. I think mostly it is the other way around. I've had drug tests after a period of missing time and the results have come back with all sorts... Opiates, amphetamines, etc. It scares me a bit. I don't know what else I've been up to but I don't feel so good about it.
I probably do need to talk to my t about it... But I'm not sure... That she'll know what to say. And I don't want to freak her out.

yeah, but the mj use is getting pretty heavy.
pretty heavy indeed.
heavy to the point where i'd rather spark up another one than put up with the horrible feeling you get when you stop sometimes.
:-(
i don't feel so good...
but i don't really see what is to be done.
yeah its a coping strategy
i hate it when life just feels like one big coping strategy
every moment is just one more moment to get through to the next moment
i'm trying to pull myself out of this...
i'm really really trying
