(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So I've been completely sober from every kind of drug until last Spring break, last April. I witnessed a drunk driving accident last year in the beginning of the school year, about September. I hated alcohol since then, and one side of my family is alcoholic, so another main reason I didn't do it. I first got drunk last spring break, I liked the feeling. Since then I would get drunk almost every weekend in the summer, and one week I did it everyday of the week. I threw up a shit ton after that week. I started smoking weed with my friend. I did that a lot as well. I now party almost every weekend with my friends. But I never drink and drive. So do you guys have any tips on how too stop the urges? Also I'm doing really bad in school and just not trying my hardest. I barely have any motivation whatsoever. Thanks NGU.

13 and 14 year olds do this in Ireland lol. I'd suggest working out in the gym, as the motivation to get a nice body and shit will stop you drinking & smoking weed and also with no drinking or weed your grades will get better.

If I've deduced this correctly, you've been introduced to the wonderful world of drugs and alcohol and now that they've been interfering with your routine life, you've discovered it's far more difficult leaving that world than it was entering it. Been there many times; I've left and returned and left and returned again. From extensive personal experience, I will assure you that immediate abstinence will not only fail to cure your issue with sobriety, but also succeed in agonizing it. I've always solved my substance abusing problems through gradual withdrawal (taking lesser amounts of a particular drug over a period of time, effectively downsizing your consumption in the long-term) or profound indulgence (consuming until I've developed a repulsive attitude towards a drug). Both are effective, but obviously, the first is the wiser option. There is also another option which should come across as common-sense: detach yourself from drug-abusive environments and drug abusers in general. I know you're still in school and this may be more difficult for you because of peer pressure, but remember this: if your friends don't accept you for your change in lifestyle, why accept them at all?

That's what alcohol does to your life. But don't let that attitude turn into one of regret- that kind of pain follows you around forever, the constant shadow of a wasted life. Your life is happening now, and only you possess the power to change it. As a barely recovering alcoholic, I can honestly tell you that if you dig deep into your well of motivation, and re-evaluate your convictions, you can certainly achieve change with sustained effort and an unprecedented level of commitment.

Your mother!
This is how I was when I was 15 and 16. The nmy junior year in high school came and I realized I was on track to not graduate and all my friends were. That made me realize that I wasnt going to get anywhere in life. Just look at the reality man. What's weed and alcohol going to do for you in life? absloutely NOTHING!!!!

The best thing would be to just drop it. Don't associate yourself with it and attempt to not hang around somebody which is doing it; that will just make it harder for you.

If you really like it that much, just think, you have the rest of your life to do it. Get the important stuff done, like school, before going out and partying. There is no point in messing up around the point your education matter the most.

I feel you so much man, I wish I was more motivated to do good in school, but I really can't find any motivation. I never drink, I've gotten drunk twice and I just don't care for it.. I only smoke weed, and maybe someday try shrooms or dmt. I don't really consider marijuana that bad, there's much worse drugs.. And marijuana is easy to control (for me at least), it's not a physical addiction, like cocaine or heroin.

What about lifting? Running marathons? Boxing, MMA, BBJ, Kickboxing? I do MMA, BBJ and Kickboxing along with the gym, and it keeps me away from drink and drugs cause I want to succeed in competitions and shit.
