Due to family issues I went into depression at an early age, and to overcome it I started abusing drugs and alcohol. This has affected me a lot I regards to studies, relations, social status and health. I have lost 12 years of my life, but now I feel enough is enough and want to get back on track with my life, since all my friends and cousins have gone ahead with their lives while I am still stuck in the loop. Please HELP.

Dear lybrate-user, Family issues can be resolved in many ways than getting into drugs and alcohol. Now please continue to motivate yourself to quit drugs and alcohol. It is difficult but not impossible. Try and take the help of a psychiatrist, if you can not do it by yourself. The psychiatrist may help you to resolve family problems also. Though you may start late, you can still go ahead with your life. You need not compare yourself with others. Compare yourself with what you were all these 12 years.
