Hey there. Ask away whatever you want answered and I'll do my best. Please avoid unconventional capitalization and spelling - it makes the questions harder to read and so I'm less likely to answer.

I am writing this letter to you because I don't know what to do. I am really scared that my use of Codeine is out of control. I feel pressured by my friends to be part of the drug scene. I see people in the media using drugs for pleasure. When I'm high on drugs, I forget all my problems and school is unimportant. I've dropped out of sports and I do whatever I can to get money for my drugs.
(This isn't actually me, it's posted for a friend.)
Thanks,

Peer pressure isn't fun at all, we all know it. But, there has to be someone in your life that isn't pressuring you...or at least I hope so. Talk to this person, get them to back you up on your wish to get out of the drug scene.
Not that you don't probably know this already, but taking codeine the way you're talking is dangerous and can be deadly. It's a drug no matter what and if addiction is the case, TELL SOMEONE. Anyone addicted is in danger and in need of help.
I know drugs make you forget your issues, but those issues aren't going to decide to just go bother someone else; you need to make them go away, or at least come to terms/solutions to them. Drugs aren't the solution because you come down from the high and the problems are still there, so you take more drugs and it's a nasty cycle.
My best answer is get help, either the person who posted this needs to help your friend, or the friend needs to help themselves.
