As stated many times before, I want this group to be one full of support, love, and trust. Some of the members in this group are fairly young. I myself am only 16, but younger people are the ones the succumb to peer pressure, which I did.

My "friend" Jazzy peer pressured me to start vaping, and I did. It's been a rough 5 months to say the least. I'm currently on track to quitting. I hope no one feels differently towards me for this, but if you do, I completely understand.

I have a fear that I’ll get addicted to vaping or some type of drug in the future from a dumb mistake

I’m really scared that I’ll like start smoking and get addicted because then I’ll die. (I have lots of lung issues and scaring)

Almost all of my family has done drugs and alcoholism runs in my family so I’m never drinking alcohol bc it scares me 😀✌️

Yes! You go girl!

I’m sorry 💔 I haven’t yet experienced a death to someone I’m really close to and I dread for a day like that to come. My family members are working hard to get back on their feet from drugs. My mom, dad, 2 aunts, and a lot of my dads side of the family although I don’t know many of them well. I’m hoping that I can make a change in my family by making good choices with my life.

I feel you. My brother has recently become an alcoholic so I've decided to never drink because I'm scared of being like him

Thank you! <3

Thank you! <3

That's amazing! I'm glad you're strong like that. :)

And yes, you can swear lol.

let's just say I have had a sip of alcohol (but it was a 5% alcohol drink) and I feel fine, never had it again but I felt fine after drinking it

I don't think having a sip is bad. there's a huge stigma about it, so if you can try it in a safe place then it makes alcohol a bit less scary, at least for me.

okay but I was still scared that I would get addicted to it but I guess I didn't

it takes a moment, I think, to get addicted. but I'm glad you didn't.

yeah I'm glad as well

☺️

Hey Iris, it's all going to be okay, I know that it seems extremely scary and everything, because well it is. But the fact that you already started working towards getting out of this situation. And that's a big deal, I'm proud of you for that.

I agree!

Thanks, that means a lot. It's actually been a couple weeks so far, so I'm feeling confident. :)

That's great! I know it's hard to quit, but you know, once your done, it's so much better.

i wouldn't say i've faced addiction with physical stuff..but i've faced an addiction of sorts and i know just how hard it is to stop even something like what i've done. you're so brave, iris. keep fighting.

I have a similar experience, though I have no conquered it yet, so I am proud of you.

Thank you guys! <3

Macy, what's it that your going through? If you feel comfortable sharing, of course.

eating stuff, restricting/binging, I am a serious athlete and still don't feel good, it causes dizziness, headaches, nausea, fainting, etc but I keep doing it even though I know it's bad.

My mom is addicted to Nicotine gum. I'm not worried about her, it's just really really annoying. She chews her gum so fkin' loud

My dad was a supposed drug addict (of what im not sure) and everyone in my family drinks heavily (i drink when im offered, but never enough to make me fuzzy or get a result on an alcohol test) except my mom and aunt, they don't get drunk since they have kiddo's to take care of
