The first step would be to try to get into a detox somewhere assuming you're physically addicted to whatever it is you're taking. This is good though, at least you realize you have a problem, and that's the first step to recovery.

I lost a lot of friends, and some family, to this shit



so I kind of have an idea of what it's like.
this is not about drugs, although there is a drug i should stop using. its about making efforts in various facets of life.

Most things in life require work. relationships, careers, health. Even billionaires have to work to be happy.

I simply have no work ethic. What efforts i make result in half ass results in everything i do. whether its buying crappy christmas presents, finding a crappy job, a building a crappy web site, i cannot do anything well. I either do something half assed, or not at all.

& i seem powerless to fix this. the 12 step people blame drugs. But i've lived 3/4 of my life with no drugs & have the same problem, whether it was homework, sports, dating. My efforts are always shitty, & thus the outcomes.

i am at the point wondering if laziness is genetic & there is nothing i can do about it.
