After all of this, why can't I stop using drugs?

Q: My 24th birthday is in 4 days, meaning I've been an addict for 7 years. My adopted sister had her son eight days ago, and they want me to be the godfather, except they're worried about my drug use around my nephew. Her husband, my best friend, broke down crying to me because he was so worried for my life. It's scary, because he is a hard ass and is not known to cry at all. My twin brother has distanced himself from me. He is so disappointed that I have heard him denying that we're related. Another good friend of mine is a former alcoholic, so he understands. He is trying to help, but I'm just a little jerk and won't stop. All of them are trying to help me. I have been using meth, coke, heroin, and pot. So far, I've only been able to get off weed. I have been to rehab countless times and have overdosed twice. I really want to stop, but it's like I'm sharing my body with someone else who refuses to cooperate and stop using. I've become very depressed about it. Am I beyond getting assistance to kick my habits? Is it all up to me, even though my addictions have become so strong that I can't break them? If you could give mr any advice or suggestions, that would be great. Thanks for your time.

A: look, you need to understand that you have the opportunity to live. some people dont get to live as long as you have so far. I have lost 2 children and I can say that you are lucky to have your life so stop ruining it. Your slowly killing yourself. These drugs will stop you from having the things that most people want. A healthy and loving relationship with your family, getting married, having children, gettin a good job to support that family... It is never too late to quit. If you know in your heart that you really want to stop, then you will. Try to do something else. Get a hobby. Pick up a guitar or maybe write some stuff down on some paper... A song, poem, thoughts, goals.... whatever.... Good Luck and I hope a helped in some small way
