Need help preventing addiction

...See more They say prevention is the best cure so here goes. I wouldnt say Im an addict, but I tend to latch on to whatever I can to take my mind off depression and anxiety and commit myself filling to that thing. For example, I am only 18, and I already think I have the start of a drinking problem. Its not that I drink everyday, but I drink to the extremes of excess. Like wake up in a strangers bath with no pants kind of excess. While I found it kind of amusing the first time, it lost its humour as the third and forth time rolled around. Ive tried to curb drinking, and because of that my mind latched onto rebuilding a motorbike. Now I have become obsessed with that, and get so worked up and stressed about anything that goes wrong. But now that the rebuild has grinded to a halt, my mind has latched onto something else. Its what motivated me to get help. Now I dont have a problem with anyone smoking weed, I think its a harmless drug and if used correctly it seems pretty fun. But I got so desperate to get some because I heard of its benefits for depression that I threw caution to the wind and got scammed. And I have to hide that I lost the money from my parents. I feel that if I dont get my obsessive habits under control soon Ill latch onto something and it will ruin my life for good, especially if its drugs, because if I do get caught my dream of becoming a lawyer is done. sorry for the rambling. Cheers
