Question by Sam: Drug abuse effects on my body?
Id just like to start saying i know i have a problem and i know what im doing is bad for me. Im not able to talk to a actual medical docter right now so i am looking for advice. im 16 And have been abusing pills for about 2 years now. i got out of “rehab” 4 months ago but took up my old ways pretty quickly. one thing ive done about three times now is a benedryl trip. ( i know its ridiculous but your hearing this from someone with a drug problem) ive taken about 25 to 30 each time. ive kinda had this realization of how stupid it was for me too do this because i could have easily died. Now im just worried if ive seriously injured my liver. when i was last in rehab they took bloodwork and said i was fine but im worried about the damage ive done since, more to my brain, heart and liver. do you think its important i go to a docter and get a thorough check done. I know it sunds pointless because i continue to do drugs, and i sound like a hipocrite im just kinda lost and not sure what i should do when it comes to what i have dne to my body, besides stopping, which trust me i am trying to do, its a battle and i have slip ups now and then.
please no hate, thats really not why i posted this.
