I NEED HELP!!
I have been doing this Drug called "YABA" (A drug that goes around in south east asia) Its a pill that is kinda similar to Meth, for the last 5-6 years. It has *** up my mental health real bad. My anxiety and Paranoia got so worse that at one point i even stopped seeing my best friends who are more like my brothers. At one point i really felt like a crazy person. Every time i do it my paranoia and anxiety triggers and i cannot explain im words how bad it gets sometimes but it still did not stop me from doing it. Then i found a new way so that i can continue taking the drug which is taking a Anti-Depresent tablet right before doing the drug just so that i can do the drug and avoid all my paranoid thoughts. But the Anti-Depresent that i take so that i can take the "YABA" it makes you go nuts, im never in my right sense when i do this both together. Its so crazy that everyone can tell. My addiction to this drug is making my life a mess. I have been trying to quit for a very long time but nothing seems to be working. Even after being sober for a month or i relapse again. Along with my mental health, my environment..now it has started affecting me physically as well. i feel so much better when i stay sober for 3-4 days straight but then i do it again. Im trying!! but i dont know how long i can keep on doing this!
I NEED HELP!! ANYTHING..ANY ADVICE OR TIPS WHATEVER WILL BE MUCH APPRICIATED.

It's very brave of you to reach out for help, and you're taking the right steps by seeking support. Remember, recovery is possible, and you can overcome your addiction with the right guidance and resources. Here are some steps you can take:
- Reach out for professional help: Consider seeing a therapist or counselor who specializes in addiction. They can provide support, resources, and create a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
- Attend recovery programs or support groups: There are many programs and groups that offer support and guidance for individuals struggling with addiction. Attending meetings and interacting with others who share your struggles can be a powerful support system.
- Set goals and milestones: Having specific goals can help you stay focused on your recovery journey. Break your goals down into smaller, achievable steps. For example, aim to stay sober for a day, then a week, then a month. Celebrate each milestone, no matter how small.
- Practice self-care: Take care of your physical and mental health. Eat a healthy diet, get enough sleep, exercise regularly, and engage in activities that you enjoy.
- Be kind to yourself: Recovery is a challenging process, and there may be setbacks and slip-ups along the way. It's important to be kind to yourself and remember that recovery is a journey.
Remember, you are not alone, and there are many resources available to help you overcome your addiction. You can do this!
Thank you so much for your kind response. Taking proffesional help is something i cannot do at the moment. Im trying really hard and i will try follow all the other steps you mentioned.
If you don't have access to therapy, I'm going to be "that person" and suggest a church. I genuinely mean this, churches often offer amazing support groups for those of us suffering from addiction. A relative of mine got involved with one and he's been sober for at least 2 years! Community is the best way to escape addiction. (Plus, most church resources are free) Not all churches are perfect, because humans are flawed, I'd recommend a non-denominational church but whatever is in your area works. Please don't take this as me acting like I'm better than you, I've got my own addictions I struggle with, but Community, community really helps. And often Christians are very very loving. (We just get a bad rep)
@Wolfbiter Hello! I'm really sorry to hear that you've been struggling with the effects of the drug YABA for the past few years. It takes a lot of courage to reach out and acknowledge the challenges you're facing. Remember, you're not alone in this journey. Seeking professional help, such as speaking to a therapist or counselor, can provide you with strategies to manage your anxiety, paranoia, and addiction. It's important to prioritize your mental and physical well-being. Even though it might seem difficult, recovery is possible, and with the right support, you can regain control of your life and make positive changes.💗
Hey how are you doing now?
