    Florida is a crazy place. Believe me, I live there. I'm not dealing with drug addiction but I have other addictions of my own. You feel like you can escape and the minute you're on a good track somehow you convince yourself it's ok. Then you hate yourself for doing it, so you do it again to remove the hate from your mind. I get it..... I could sit here and tell you to just stop doing it. But I know you can't, not do you really want to or else you would have. All I know is if you really have those dreams, and you really want that life. Then you'll do it. That's what I started to do. I got a job, and a second job. Found help from who I could. Everyday is hard, but I want the house and the marriage and the babies more. You just have to decide what means more to you. I've cried a lot, wanted to give up an give in. But so far I've done good.

    I don't know anything about addiction, but I do know about depression. It screws with your ability to make decisions. You want to get better, you're trying. That says a lot.
    I don't know what's available for you, but I would look for a free or cheap counselling service to help deal with the feelings of depression and help stablise yourself to keep fighting the addictions.

    I cant relate to the drug abuse so I cant really give you any good advise on it. Honestly, I dont know what to say. I have pushed myself in shitholes many times and felt miserable. I think you should tell your mom that you need to shift houses. She will be disappointed but honestly, you cant go on like this. She will be happy when you are clean and you live a happier life. Like you said you have dreams and you want a better life. You already are trying to change, just hold on a little longer. You will be fine.

      Id like to hope so.. the problem is money tho. My mom isnt rich and the months rent it cost me to move in here YESTERDAY isnt refundable. Also, i dont know if moving would help much anyway. I got out of a bad, drug infested neighborhood in a shithole part of NY.. Right now im in south florida, essentially what i always considered paradise (blue water, white sand beaches, palm trees) and i still manage to find trouble. Now im just in a bad, drug infested neighborhood in a shithole part of "paradise."
