Too far? Worried about excessive polydrug use

[dj_c]

SWIM isbeginning to think that his drug-taking/use is getting out of control, or... out of his own control.He ispretty strong minded buthe feelshe hasbeen doing wayy too much.


SWIMhasbeen smoking canabis for about 4 years now.. not much.. just here and there - never been a big fan of getting completely stoned!He's 19 at the moment going on 20 this year. Anyhow, he has only really started getting into serious drugs for the last 7 months or so, started by doing a few lines of coke at a friends house and then doing it at clubs and such, SWIM is also a big drinker and has been drinking since he was 13. After a heavy heavy night on the town SWIM got invited to a house party, he had only done a few lines of coke up to this night where he got offered to take some speed andtook a gram.


SWIM couldnt belive how good it felt to not want to stop talking shit and couldnt sit down all night and helped a guy smoke all his weed in a matter of something to do. It's now 7 months since the day he took speed and hasnt done any since but as the time has gone by he's been getting into more and more heavier drugs, ecstacy has been a favourite for the last 5 months, and if it hasnt been xtc it's cocaine at the weekend, SWIM has only had 2 weeks totally off the drugs for the last7 months and is worried that he can't get a drip of reality anymore and that the drug taking has gone way to far.


Over the last 4 weeks he has been smoking heroin, SWIM doesnt touch any drugs in the week, but once friday night comes round it's like friday - sunday he goes mad on everything, for example.. this friday night at a house he done lots of cocaine, drank quite a bit and smoked some strong skunk, slept 3 hours that night and come saturday night he resisted getting any H which was a good thing but he decided to get completely out his tree by drinking himself stupid, getting stoned.. taking a big line of coke and sniffing a load of poppers.. It's really the cocktails of drugs that he is beginning to worry about. Last week for example was a good hit of heroin, a gram of cocaine and alcohol, Swim says he feels that he needs to get off theall the drugsbefore he finds himself messing his life up, he already says sometimes he doesnt know what reality is and feels he's living in a dream world.


Sorry for the long post, Any comments/suggestions would be appreciated.
