Why can\'t I control my use?

It seems like no matter what I do, I can't control my drug use. I do the best I can, I try to not let it interfere with my life but as time goes on, I can't control it anymore.
Is there anything I can do to not allow drugs to run my life anymore? I don't want to quit using but I don't know what to do.

Hi Melina. It sounds like you may have an addiction. An addiction creates the desire and need to use your drug to ensure that it has a continous flow of the chemical it's now dependent on. I think it's time to consider substance abuse treatment. It's nothing to be ashamed of. I did it for an accidental addiction to my prescription pain meds and now I'm a recovery addict who's also a lawyer that argues with a judge for people with drug offense indictments almost every day. It's not your fault and it's not too late.

I've had a similar experience in my life. I always wanted to quit or not take as much of the drugs I was taking. Honestly, I would try to stop doing one substance and substitute for a different one. By doing this I was hoping that I would be able to slow down my rate of substance use, because like you I didn't want to stop either... just maintain. However with time things in my life got too painful to cope and I gave it all up for good (best decision of my life by the way).
