Using drugs may have started out as being part of having a good time with peers and friends. It didn't interfere with your work life or home life. Prehaps its was something you began at university or as a young adult. You could describe it as "recreational" and no big deal.
However if you are now using when you don't want to or feel you have lost the power of choice drug addiction counselling can help. If the amount of drugs you take has increased and the effects decreased and you are unable to stop, you may have become dependent.
The desire to recapture the highs of the past , not wanting to acknowledge the fun has gone can leave you are feeling depressed and frightened and in a cycle of using. The wasted money, time with guilt and shame around family and friends can feel overwhelming.
I can help you face your problem with drugs and begin to get your life back.
