my story.

Well. I've never really done this before and I I'm not quite sure where to start. I've had social anxiety, rumination, resentment issues for a few years. I'm a recovering alcoholic, I tried to self medicate which isn't the best idea. I always gravitated towards drugs to alleviate my symptoms and it only exacerbated the problem. I always had problems getting along with my parents and friends. I've lost a few friends, but gained them back. I was kicked out of my parents a couple times due to my alcohol use when i was about 17 and 20. I was home schooled until 8th grade, and my mother was very qualified to teach. whenever I got close to some one in my younger days I would have trouble getting along with them. I've gotten way better about that though. The two most recent things in my life that didn't go well, I joined the United States marine Corps back in 2008, I was 0311 infantry, but the reserves. When I got back from ITB ( infantry training battalion) Which is what you go to after recruit training, I was good to go. But eventually I got very bored, lost a lot of motivation. A lot of my friends from before had moved away, or just had different lives. I started drinking here and there, then it turned into every day. I would lift weights, then sit on the computer all day, and playing war craft 3. my drinking got more and more, to the point where i would have bottles of vodkah stashed in m dresser. my dad found it one time and said, dont do this it will ruin your life. Well I did it any ways. I eventually started spending time with one of my good friends from high school who had overdosed on heroin while I was at ITB. Well i never saw or touched the heroin. But we did start doing cocaine. for like a month i was doing coke every day, i would drink a 3rd of a bottle of everclear just so i could "sleep" at night. Well eventually i got kicked out of my parents, and moved into my friends moms place, shes a good woman. He went to prison for herion though. I did ok there, I did my part basically cleaned every day becuase they never ever cleaned and it was disgusting. I still drank a lot. But i got along with his mom and little brother very well. Anyways, I was about to go on a meu (marine expeditionary unit) which is just a ship that can deliver marines to any beach we might need to assault. But it was just a co op training float. We were going to train with (train them) countries from south east asia. Well i was excited for this, they were even going to open a new part of the jungle in Thailand for us to train in, there would be deadly snakes, Big cats. Cool ass ****. Well I had not smoked and weed since before bootcamp, but the night before I was going to go sign my orders, me and a couple friends were drinking. They pulled out a blunt so I smoked with them. When we went to go sign our orders, they drug tested us. I was ****ed. Done, its zero tolerance in the marine corps now. I developed a substance abuse problem because of my anxiety. I know this is long, and not very structured, but so are my thoughts.

Welcome.

I wanted to be a marine myself but being canadian, just couldnt do so at the time.

Im glad you found this place :). Take each day a step at a time and realize nothing gets solved overnight. You need to have a setback before you make a comeback.

Again, welcome!
 
Thanks. The second part i ****ed up. I met this great girl, we dated for a few months and ended up moving in together. We lived together for two years. We were very much in love. I actually drank and used much less while with her. I did smoke a lot of pot. She is chinese, very studious. Im very athletic and much more common sense/problem sloving skills. I was pushed to start college, i was studying computer network engineering technology, and i did very well at first, but the stress got to me and i started taking celexa, and lorazepam. I start abusing the lorazepam very soon. I got very depressed at first on the celexa. Slowly I started drinking again, untill i was drinking, taking lorazepam, and my antidepressent. Then i started doing pain killers here and there. I would always try to quit, hold out as long as i could. It really created a lot of problems between us, i wasnt doing my best in life. I ended up being an ******* whenever i drank and took the loraz. She ended up leaving me, planned it a month ahead of time. I knew somthing was up because she pulled away. A week after her withdrawling from me I weaned my self off the celexa, quit drinking, and cut down on the loraazepam. I thought she was seeing somone but it was just i was being hard to live with. When she finally left, I had spent three hours that day making dinner for her, downloaded 20 episodes of her fav tv show. I was trying very hard. When she left I stayed sober for about 3 days. Then i isolated and drank every day for about 3 months. I finally came back to where i grew up and stayed sober for a week, then drank again for like 3 weeks. I ruined my life, i have no job, no car, I wasted like 1500 dollars on drinking. She would have never left me if i was at least sober and working towards bettering myself. The horrible thing of this is, after 4 weeks of drinking in my apartment i ended up getting the lorazepam pills. I got them so i could take them properly and wean myself off the alcohol. well two days later i got some beer, took the rest of the bottle of lorazepam and ended up cutting my wrist. I would never normally do somthing like that. I now have a scar I hate looking at it every ****ing day. I feel so worthless. I think it would be easier to end it every few days. I would never do it, but i think about it. I just hate life right now. Ive had so many good opportunities in life and ive ****ed every single one up so far. Rumination is my biggest weakness.
