 congratulations for realising you have a problem, its not an easy thing to admit and certianly not an easy thing to come to terms with.
you need to speak to someone eho can point you in the right direction to help you overcome this addiction and once you have don't ever be tempted again, find some new friends and enjoy life straight laced and no drugs!
good luck.

 E is the most unreliable drugs in the world.
It's laced 95% of the time, alot of the time it's laced with meth, and occasionally some really weird shit like Ketamine(prescribed for dogs and cats with kidney problems) goes into it.
Lay of the E, Cocaine is a safer drug, but don't go doing Coke neither.
If you do want to do drugs, I'd say just do ones that grow from the ground, much safer.
Also, 15 hits in a night is insane, you're going to od one of these days.

 Mind over matter, i was addicted to cocaine for a while, but one weekend while i was on my down i took a long hard look at myself, safe to say i never brought any again. Just think of what its doing to you, how it makes you feel after your buzz, and would you be better off without it. Seriously if you dont like it then quit, simple as that.

 Yes you do have a problem. My advice to you is to talk to your parents and get some professional help.

If you couldn't get addicted to ecstasy then you wouldn't be taking up to 15 every weekend for years would you? You are psychologically dependant on them. A psychological dependence isn't necessarily any less serious than a physical one.
I used to work with DrugScope as well as a couple of other voluntary drug organisations for many years and I'd say I know a lot of information about drugs, particularly ecstasy.
You have already realised that you want to stop and that is often the hardest thing to do.
You obviously have friends who you do this with, and the best advice I can offer really is that you are going to have to give these friends if you stand a chance of quitting them yourself. It is doubtful that you will have the willpower to say no, as long as you are around them.
You need to ask yourself, what means more to you. To get clean and loose your friends in the process or keep your friends but risk permanently damaging your mental and physical health? You may not die from taking ecstasy but you are already severely impacting your ability to do advance in life, and quite possibly run the risk of long-term mental illness.
If you don't think you can give up your drug circle of friends, then I would definitely recommend you see a therapist to try and work on your self esteem and to find ways to get enjoyment from things other than drugs.
It can be done! I have seen many people go from taking incredible amounts of drugs for many years to giving up and changing their lives and I am sure you will be no different and that feeling of having got past taking drugs will be much more long lasting than any ecstasy pill.
When you want to give up more than you want to take them, the change will hopefully happen naturally. I think your question is the beginning of that change.

I think you should see how long u last without e, if you find it hard then i think its safe to say that you have a problem, and even if you dont i think you should slow down a bit. Theres probably a lot of people in your area that can help you.Also tell someone you can trust who you know will help you?Take carex

Talk to your parents or look up drug addiction helplines in the phone book. Get help! I promise it will only get worse. I was on drugs for years. I went to treatment and have now been clean and sober for over 2 years. Life is so much better not having to depend on something.
