What is Drug Abuse?

Drug abuse is something that is done in excess due to issues that affect people personally.   When I think of Drug abuse,  I have to look and closely examine my overall behavior inside of the community.  I remember when I was hanging around my Drug smoking peers and friends, I had smoked marijuana and drink beer on a daily basis for a total of 18 years.  I am only addressing the issues that affected my behavior.  I really love being around my family members and friends because they help me to cope with my mental illness related issues.

Next, I have to learn how to accept constructive criticism from people who are trying to help me.  During the time that I was drinking and smoking marijuana,  I was under a lot of pressure that I was putting on myself.   I will admit that I am co-dependent.  I also will admit that I had been going to the hospital just to get treated for my mental health issues and dependency on prescription drugs.  This is very serious because I had been addicted to the drug called Ativan.

I no longer take Ativan because I had became accustomed to the medication, and I had been prescribed this medication because it have made me sleep excessively for a number of years now.   In a way, I am happy that I do not take this medication.  My doctor, therapist, and friends have observed my demise.  My family members were saying that I was just like them.  This is the reason why I have to physically go back to my AA Meetings on a daily basis. I am in contact with my AA Sponsor on a daily basis. 

Finally, I want to say that I have to resolve this issue because these doctors do not care about me.   I  know that once an addict; is always an addict!  Currently,  I am praying for other people as well as myself.   Some people use their own medicine as a crutch.  This is the truth because I was sleeping for a large number of hours per week. I became physically and mentally numb!  I also have Diabetes and Degenerative Bone Disease. The Pain Management Doctors told me to my face that I have this disease.  I had received a MRI of my entire vertebrae.   I had told everyone that I have twisted my spine in two places back in the year of 1995.  This is because I was carrying a lot of books and supplies to school each day for 5 years. 

I am grateful that God is actually helping me each day and night.  I have a problem and my name is Anthony H!

Good Morning Everyone 🙏  How are you doing today?  I hope that you are doing well!  Anyway, drug addiction has affected my life in a number of ways.  First, I want to say that drug abuse has really messed me up for the rest of my life.   I was really born addicted because my parents were alcoholics.  I had Fetal Alcohol Syndrome because my grandparents told me.  My mother early on was going through an issue that affected her because she was not able to take care me when I was born.  Therefore, my oldest grandmother took care of me for the first seven years of my life.

Second, I was introduced to my siblings because I have a different father from my siblings.  My grandparents told me as a child that I have a different father.  I always wanted to meet my biological father on my own.  When I was a child, I was abused by my  mother’s husband for a few years.  My mother changed my last name because she wanted me to assimilate with a growing family.  My mother had taken me through a lot of changes.  Although I have loved my mother, but she was addicted to alcohol for a number of years.   My siblings and I went through the same abuse as children.  My mother’s husband had went through the same issues. 

Third, I had started drinking alcohol at an early age.  I used to go to houses and other places where alcohol was served to the people who have requested it.  I was hurt physically and emotionally by my mother’s husband for a total of nine years.   As a teenager,  I  was a follower more than a leader because I wanted to be accepted by everyone that I had known personally.   I want to inform everyone that we are narrators of our own lives.

Also, I had been spending a lot of time with my siblings and extended family members because my mother’s husband was abusive towards me and my siblings.  When I comes to addiction, I had become the Captain of my own ship.  Therefore my recovery is my own responsibility.  I have managed my addiction related issues by staying with my extended family members house.  Even though, I was sheltered for a period of time.  I was not able to avoid drug problems because my elders were alcoholics.

Finally, I really understand all of my family members because we have one thing in common.  It is that we had accepted each other for the persons that they were.  I want to inform all of you that I really love all of my family members as human beings.  I know that I had isolated myself from other people for a period of time.  I was able to conquer my own addiction related issues by being accountable for all of my actions and sins.  Accountability is all of our responsibility because we are human beings and we are prone to make mistakes in our personal lives.  We were born in sin!  This is because Adam, the first man and Eve his wife had committed sin by eating from the forbidden fruit that was inside of the Garden of Eden.  My addiction had lasted for a period of time.  It is that I had acquired another addiction to replace the addiction to drugs and alcohol.

I am getting the impression that another person is using all of my personal email addresses and other social media networks as well.  I am saying this because someone from another country was using my accounts as well.  Therefore, I have made direct amends to everyone that I have offended in any way.  I will admit that I had been going to the hospital just to address my mental health issues and problems for a number of years now.  Although it does not shield me from all of my sins and problems.  I rely on Jesus Christ, who is my personal Savior, God, and Friend.  I want to inform all of you that I have all of my AA Meetings online right now because I have physical and mental problems that still plague me to this day.

In Conclusion, I am only doing my required homework just to address all of my issues in my life right now.   I have been Court ordered to the AA Fellowship as well as my therapy appointments.  I also see the Psychiatrist on a regular basis.  I am responsible for all of my sins and actions.  Mankind can become a benefit or a Stumbling Block itself.  God is doing for me more than I am doing for myself!

What is Cross Addiction?

Good Evening Everyone!!  My name is Anthony and I am cross addicted.  This means that I have a mental illness and a substance abuse problem, or other problems that are in reference to recovery.  Anyway, I have not taken a drink of alcohol in over 20 years now. 

 I would like for all of you to please pray for me.  I had taken a drink of alcohol when I was 7 years old.  I started smoking marijuana when I was 9 years old.  I was born addicted to alcohol because my mother and father were alcoholics.  I want to inform all of you that I used to take medication just for the euphoria of it.  I was prescribed pain killers when I had broken my hand on July 6, 1984 in Dayton, Ohio.  I was prescribed Tylenol 3 with Codeine and Motrin 800 Mg. 

Next, I used to smoke marijuana when I was a little boy.  I was hanging around my peers in Dayton, Ohio.  This is the reason why I can relate with anyone who is suffering from addiction of any kind.  There are times when I used to go to the hospital just to get high.  I want to inform all of you that I can feel your pain; especially when it comes to addictions to marijuana and drinking hard liquor of any kind.  I remember when I used to drink Canadian Ace Beer when it first came out in the 1980s.  I used to drink a 64-ounce bottle of this type of beer.  I also used to smoke excessively during the 1970s and 1980s.  I remember on Wednesday May 2, 1990, I had drunk my last beer, and I asked God to remove the desire of drinking alcohol.  I had also stopped smoking Primo, in January of the same year.  Primo are Crack Cocaine and Marijuana Cigarette.  I am very happy that God had removed my strong cravings for this type of Cigarette.  I do not drink anymore.  I want to inform all of you that I was a child that had alcohol inside of my system.  This is called Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.  I used to get rejected by natural women that I had decided to affiliate with female Prostitutes on June 24, 1986.  I was emotionally connected to a woman who was going through her addiction problems. 

 I was in a relationship with her.  I am not going to disclose her name because I am protecting her anonymity myself.  Even though my family members are familiar with her, but that was a part of a past that has led to shame and humiliation.

Further, I want to inform all of you that I used to smoke and drink with my siblings as well.  Therefore, it had led to a problem with addiction throughout my family.  I know that my problems are curtailed!!  This means that I no longer indulge in any substances anymore.  I will admit that I went to Grandview Hospital in Dayton, Ohio on March 22, 2024 for kidney pain.  The doctor had given me Fentanyl for pain.  I had made a request for Oxycontin for pain.  The medication could have killed me.  The hospital would have been responsible for my demise; if I would have passed away.  This is the reason why I had to stop taking my current medications for 3 days just to get this mess out of my system.  I was discharged 3 hours later.  This medication could have killed me.  I am sharing all of this to you because I was devastated!!  I cannot take Tylenol, Ecotrin, Aleve, and Advil for pain anymore because I am suffering from Chronic Kidney Disease as well as Degenerative Bone Disease and Bone Loss.  

Also, I am taking a total of 33 pills per day for several physical and mental ailments.  My Psychiatrist stated that I need mental health treatment for the rest of my life.  My mental health problems did not start until I had traveled to Charlotte, NC.  I was admitted inside of the hospital in Dayton, Ohio for being exposed to scabies.

 This had taken place when I was having sex with a female who had scabies and she did not tell me.  The scabies had affected me for over 40 days.  From January 14, 1997 until March 5, 1997.  This is the truth because I had the scabies to the point that the scabies was inside of my body that it almost killed me.  I had a cyst inside of my Left Ventricle of my brain, which turned out to be the female egg laying scabies.  I went to consult with Dr. Demas for treatments of seizures in January 21, 2001.  I had received an MRI of my brain on that day.  The doctor started me on a medication called Verapamil.  This medication dissolved the cyst that was inside of my body.

Finally, during past 12 years that I had lived in Charlotte, NC, at least all of my health issues were addressed.  The hospitals in the State of North Carolina had performed surgery on my broken jaw on October 30, 2006.

 I had surgery at Presbyterian Hospital.  I was admitted to the hospital after my surgery.  I also had sinus surgery on June 6, 2007 at Presbyterian Hospital.  I had a sinus disease that have lasted for a very long time.  I suffer from year-round allergies.  This is the reason why I have to take medication for pollen, ragweed, and mold spore exposure.  The person who had performed my surgeries was Dr. Robert Harley.

In Conclusion, I want to inform all of you that I consult with my AA Sponsor on a daily basis.  I call him and send him text messages on a regular basis just to do homework assignments each week.  I have to listen to Church Sermons and Music just to drown out physical and mental distractions that have plagued me since Thursday November 5, 2009.  I had spent an extended stay at Broughton Hospital for Non-Compliance.  The Broughton Hospital staff stated that I had been a distraction to other patients.  I lost a great deal of weight because I only ate peanuts, raisins, and other junk foods just to get full because my food had medicine inside of it.

In Summary, my name is Anthony and I am a Cross Addicted Person.  I have a mental illness and problems related to Prescription Drug Abuse.  I had been Court Ordered to take mental illness medications and see the Therapist on a regular basis.  I also see the Psychiatrist on a regular basis as well.  I have been Court ordered for a total of 5 times during the past 15 years.  It is time for all of us to become transparent and truthful about our personal demons that we are dealing with throughout our personal lives.  I call it having a Thorn in The Flesh like The Apostle Paul, who has written 13 Books of the New Testament.  I am grateful to tell the truth for a change!!  I had transferred addictions for a number of years right now.

 For Instance, I used to take medications like Ativan and other drugs just to treat a mild form of anxiety that I had been dealing with for a number of years.  I also will admit that I almost killed myself on February 13, 2010.  I was admitted into Miami Valley Hospital for a total of 6 days just to get my stomach pumped for taking an excessive amount of medication because I had been scammed out of $18,550 dollars by a number of people who were living in Accra, Ghana and Cities that are inside of the United States from March 13, 2008 to February 26, 2010.  I had been having Online Relationships with several women and I had sent them money through Western Union Funds.  It had turned out that I was a victim of a Pyramid Scheme.  I had been scammed while I was living in Charlotte, NC and inside of my hometown of Dayton, Ohio.

I am happy that God is doing for me; more than I am doing for myself right now.  I had been scammed by a young lady who was living inside of an unknown location on September 2, 2016 to July 10, 2017.  You see, I had been having Online Relationships just to cover up Co Dependency and the people who had scammed me still do not care about me.  I had been used by a female during the 1980s and she told me in my face that she did not love me.  I guess I was only fulfilling her drug appetite.  She had sex with another man directly inside of my face.

 Therefore, what these women do not know is that God is watching them!!  God is also watching me as well.  1^st Corinthians 6:16 says that if a man is having sex with harlots, he and the female become one flesh.  They are yoked together as if in a marriage.  This is the truth because there are men and women, who are involved in a relationship without marriage.  This is a very serious problem because it is called a friends with benefits.

Good Evening Everyone 🙏 I would like to admit to my role as it relates to this topic.   I would like to inform all of you that I have been behaving like a newcomer in the AA/NA Fellowship.   I want to share that I have been going to the doctor or hospital just to get all of my active issues resolved.   I have been prescribed over 30 pills per day to treat several physical and mental health problems.

Next,  I have been taking medication just to heal from my physical pain.   I know that I have to be very careful about the things that I am doing at the moment.   For Instance,  I have been going to the doctor each month for the past 9 years now.   I am in direct communication with my AA Sponsor each day for the past 9 years.   I will admit that I have been talking with my fellow AA members about my concerns.   I am apologizing to Jesus Christ for all of my actions and behaviors.   I am very sorry for taking on too much responsibility for other people.  

Further,  I have been putting pressure on myself or excessive demands as well.   Therefore, I have been suffering from Schizoid Affective Disorder and Alzheimers as well.  I have been suffering from these problems for years now.   I am a very transparent person.   I can verify all of my problems by conferring with my doctors.   I know that I do not have to justify myself to man.  I am responsible for my recovery in the AA Fellowship.   I can see why my family members do not talk to me anymore.

Finally, I am responsible for neglecting myself,  but I do pay all of my bills each month for the past 13 years now.  There was a period of time that I have allowed other people to take advantaged of me.  I have connected with people whom I had to forgive each person for hurting me.   I love all of you and God Bless You.   I am still a Work in Progress!  I am tapering myself off of half of my medications.  I would like for all of you to please keep me in your prayers and thoughts.   Although I have not taken a drink in years now.  I have not smoked marijuana in 34 years now.   Thank you for reading my essay on What is Codependency!

Good Day!! My name is Anthony H. and I am a grateful recovering alcoholic. I would like to share my experience, strength, and hope regarding Sponsorship. First of all, I would like to say that having a sponsor is the first and foremost when it comes to communication with other members. For me personally, I was court ordered into the fellowship by the Dayton, Ohio Montgomery Common Pleas Courts simply because I committed drug related crimes. I also had a mental illness as well. To be honest with all of you, having a sponsor is a person who is capable of assisting me and giving me advice; while in the program. I know that my very first sponsor and I got into a fist fight because he was too demanding. He really did not know how to be a sponsor and he got mad at me because I was in the streets too much for him. Even though, I had completed the 12 Steps, I was a person who was a follower of the streets. I was transitioning out of the street gang culture, and it was very hard at first, but I had to take care of myself and my own family. Sponsors are people who are experienced in the AA Program. I will admit that I am a Sponsor myself and the people who I am sponsoring are involved in street gangs. There are 3 of them who had recently relapsed and I told them that I will be there for them after they are released from treatment. I had advised and suggested to the men to attend meetings on a daily basis. I also told these men that they have to avoid having a sexual relationship for one year. They had to abstain from having a relationship with a woman. These men had to get themselves together first and foremost. I help them with things that pertain to Alcoholics Anonymous. My suggestion to a newcomer in the Fellowship is to attend 90 meetings in 90 days, read the 164 pages of the AA Book. I also tell newcomers to also call me if they are interested in me as a sponsor. I also tell newcomers that they will have to establish a relationship with a Higher Power or God. My objective as a sponsor is to help each person and myself to get through the 12 Steps. I can only advise and suggest to another fellow alcoholic. I cannot tell them what to do. I can show them a better way of life that is much better than drinking and getting high. My name is Anthony H. from Dayton, Ohio and I am a grateful recovering alcoholic. My topic is Sponsorship. My sobriety date is May 2, 1990.Thanks for allowing me to share.

I would like to wish all of you a Happy Palm Sunday!  I understand that Jesus is the reason for the season.
