Dear Lily,
I’ve begun to suspect that I may have a drug issue, yet I’m unsure how to address it. Personally, I don’t see any harm in consuming four hefty lines of coke, a few pills, and 15 mojitos, followed by a 12-hour dance session in a neon vest and shorts to The Pet Shop Boys. However, during the last office party, whispers about my behavior started to circulate. What steps can I take to seek help?
Lily says – You might believe that you’re alone in confronting this issue, but please know that many of us grapple with the challenges of substance abuse, and it can be quite dire. I recall once consuming five sherbet dabs in quick succession, which led to what can only be described as a euphoric, sugar-induced frenzy in the playground. In that moment, I felt invincible, skipping rope and playing hopscotch with wild abandon. Yet, it wasn’t long before the initial high faded, and I toppled onto the concrete, reduced to a teary, snotty wreck with scrapes on both hands and knees. It was at that decisive moment, hitting rock bottom, that I understood I needed to take control of my life and start spending my pocket money on more sensible items like crisps.
Hope that helps!
