drug addict in recovery?

Question by Chris Waltrip: drug addict in recovery?
I have been a drug addict since of the young age of 12… I smoked pot, then went to pills mostly speed,and on to harder stuff… I was very much addicted to pills cause I had so many perscrptions for Adderall, Ritalin (which was DOC , drug of choice, I was very addicted to them and stayed up for weeks snorting up to 20 Ritalin a day, Xanax, and Lorazepam, and when in pain pain killers mostly vicodin. I did anything that would cause euphoria and to numb out the world.. I was put in rehab at 14… I got sober and loved life. I got out 3 months later ready to face the world or, so i thought, As soon as 2 days later I drank which I dont seem to have a drinking problem but it was a gateway when I was drunk.. I smoked pot with in a week. I am now 16 and have been off everything except pot which I dont believe is addictive I don’t smoke everyday and i dont do it for my feelings so it doesn’t seem to be a problem.. But lately, I don’t know why but I keep craving Ritalin everyday hour or soo.. I get soo triggered sometimes and all I want to do just find some crush it up and put it up my nose. But I still am being strong but I don’t want these intense feelings like I do all the time.. Yes, I know I’m a addict and we all go threw cravings but I just never had any like this before and it worries me. Is there any reason behind this?

if i were u i would tell a doctor
i went to rehab when i was 17 for drinking and smoking pot. (I’VE ALSO DONE COKE, BUT THE DOCS DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT THAT) what helped me was changing who i hung out with. i ditched all my old friends cuz all they wanted to do was smoke. i’ve been through all that and i dont want to go back.
but if ur really feeling the urge to snort up i would tell someone, u have been through to much already u dont need to go back down that same road cuz the second time around its alot harder
