Oh, honey, don't go jumping to conclusions and panicking just yet. 😉

It’s most likely just stress doing its thing. I remember one time when life got particularly chaotic, my own cycle decided to show up three whole weeks early just because of the pressure.
So, think about it—have there been any big shifts in your routine lately? Are you feeling overheated, maybe getting worked up over the small stuff, or is there some drama going on in your love life? 😉

But look, obviously, you should go see a doctor and get checked out just to be safe.

But honestly, what gives you the right to try and bail everyone else out of the whole "is it a sin to try drugs?" debate?

Why do you feel this sudden urge to push your own drug obsession onto everyone else here?

And really, who are you to be handing out life lessons when you couldn't even get a grip on your own life?

Look, we’ve already beaten this topic to death in the link I posted, so there’s no point in dragging us back into that same old circle. If you actually want to contribute something useful, maybe instead of preaching your little narcotic philosophies, you could share some actual advice on how to kick the habit—specifically for the OP.

EDIT: Tina, I actually stumbled upon another thread that might be more your speed, where people are sharing their real-world experiences. Maybe it’ll give you the backbone to stay strong. I think you’ll find some of these folks actually get it: Addiction.

Harold Flores4 said:Like someone else mentioned, I've gone back and read some of his older posts too, and he actually has some pretty smart things to say sometimes. But you can't just ignore the fact that he glorifies drug use. To me, it doesn't matter whether he promotes it or not, but like I already pointed out, there are kids reading this. So what exactly is he telling them? Is that really okay? I get that he wants to grab attention and find success, but he could definitely do it in a better way. I just know he's capable of it. And all of them are. I don't judge anyone—not gay people, not kleptomaniacs, not immigrants... nobody. They're all human beings, but so are we, the ones who don't see eye to eye with them. If he's going to advocate so hard for diversity and the right to personal choice, then he has to let us say what we think and respect our choices too, without making a face like it's some kind of crime.

He really can't do better. Noah Sanchez7 is your textbook drug addict. Everything he says, whether it's here or on any other thread, follows that exact same pattern you hear from every other junkie out there. Noah Sanchez7, am I wrong? I'm pretty sure I'm not. It’s just that whole scene, that philosophy, that specific way of living. He isn't some lone wolf on this forum either; if you take the time to compare his posts to, say, those from other addicts in this thread, a lot of the ambiguity just disappears.

As for the person who started this thread, I truly hope she finds her path as soon as possible so she can save herself and her kid. If she can just find that inner strength, she won't need a rehab center or a hospital. She can handle this all on her own within her own four walls. I’m convinced of it. I know of at least one success story right here on this forum—someone who fought through fifteen years of continuous addiction using nothing but sheer willpower, and they made it out the other side.

Tina, once you finally find (hopefully very soon), make sure you stick to it and don't look back. Good luck.
