high school... & the 3 C's

"In high school you are suppose to be having fun, not worrying about other peoples problems, those are theirs, and theirs alone"

-Anonymous drug addict.

Yes, no one can save or prevent someone from doing drugs. The three C's is what everyone has to come to understand.

You did not cause it, you can not control it, and you can not cure it.

I will never be able to understand this concept. I will never want to understand this concept.

I will never want to have fun in high school if I have loved ones slowly killing themselves. I will never just sit aside and watch them fall and destroy their life. They do not know their lives are are so amazing, especially to loved ones that can see their addiction increase by the day. And flexuate as times goes on.

My loved one, my brother, is an addict.

I was at his house two months ago, just two short months ago. I went to go to the bathroom and then went back into the room where he, his "lovely" girlfriend, and a couple of his buddies. When I walked into the room, i did not notice it then, but their eyes were open and they were looking at the kitchen.

I saw two dollar bills rolled up, on the table, along with his wallet and a credit card.

My brother was sitting in a cup shaped chair, playing some video. I looked down at his tube shaped dollar bills, his credit card on the table. I looked up at him and he looked at me.

"Um what were you doing, chopping up the china white, and using your dollar bills to inhale into your nose?" i said sarcastically.

I looked at his friends, straight at me. "Yeah," he said

I sat down on the couch, i'm pretty sure that my legs declapsed.

I then started talking to my cousin, as if nothing ever happend.

My head was spinning though. I felt like my organs were about to become a huge knot. I felt sick to my stomach, but I kept a conversation up with my cousins, and his friends friends eventually jumped in.

And his "annonymous" person that you hear outside, told me that little quote.

This will never happen. I will never obsess over his addiction, or it will bring me down mentally.

But i will never just sit on the couch and watch him kill himself.

i didn't cause it, i can't control it and i did not cause it

but i will not just watch him, destroy himself. I will never regret "not enjoying high school" so i can assist my hero, that does not have that spot in my life anymore, but i will not sit aside.

We admitted we were powerless over alcohol—that our lives had become unmanageable.
Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His Will for us and the power to carry that out.
Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we trie
