Drug habits are hard to get out of, so I understand this problem. At the age of nine is very sad to hear, usually nine year old kids don't have stress, so it just makes your childhood worse, too. I can tell you that being nervous about changing is a normal feeling, you just want to be left alone in your misery/habits/and spot you're in right now because you fear change. You fear that you already think you're in a hellhole, and are afraid that you be worse and stuck. I'm here to tell you that this fear and nervousness is temporary, meaning its not a permanent feeling. As soon as you get off of drugs, you'll feel better, healthier, and I can guarantee happier than you are right now. You might have one regret, but most likely, you're going to come home feeling happy with yourself. The stress with your home and outside of home with drugs creates negativity, which is what feelings you are experiancing when you think about getting out of your drugs and drinking. You think to yourself, "are you crazy, why would I even think about taking this away, it relieves my pain!" Right now, you aren't getting away from life by using drugs, you aren't relieving pain when using them, and you definetly aren't happier using them. You have actually made your situation and stress worse, but you can get out of it. Your abuse from your dad is a big issue, its bigger than you think, because thats what causes your stress, and low self-etsteem, causing you to use drugs and drinking. So, I'd consider that a huge deal on you. Your friend is very concerned, I know you understand this, but you have to have him help you with this, help your parents and your family know that you need help, I'm not sure where you got help, but it couldn't have been the right place, because they would have gotten you help in a snap knowing you are only 15 years old. So, I'm going to need to ask you where you've gotten help, because I will help you make the right decision in this, I will lead you and tell you why it is the best choice for you. I need for you to tell me who you've asked, and if your parents know, I hope you inbox me again with your answer, because I want to help you, I will be here for you to guide you through this.
