Help with addiction problems?

Question by sk8brooklyn: Help with addiction problems?
I’m a junior in high school. A lot of bad shit has happened this year in my life and I dealt with stress by partying. Now it has become more than just party drinking/using (marijuana, painkillers, opiates). I do drugs whenever I can and I know I can get a hold of meth and some other hard shit really easily and cheap. My girlfriend started crying the other day because she is worried and I know I really need to stop, but I can’t. I want to but I can’t. I don’t want to tell my parents because my mom is a psycho and will freak out and I am best friend’s with my dad and I don’t want to disappoint him. I’m a straight A student (but failing math) and a generally good kid… what do I do?

You need to stop. You need to tell someone who can hold you accountable. You will not do that on your own.
