Why are you using this app Newyork honestly?
I hope you do not think I am putting meth users down I am just sharing my story. Thatās OK. I am an alcoholic myself fighting this disease and saw the meth posting. I donāt put no users or addition a classā¦ but what I seen meth does and what the put inside of meth is sickening . It is just sad. Just telling my story hopefully it helps. If it offends you or you think I am putting meth users down or blaming users Iām not. But meth is bad. This statement can not be defended. Take care.

Seriously?! We support eachother here, not attack. We donāt claim one drug or drink is worse than the other. In reality no form of drug or drink benefits the body and mind in any way. Some are illegal, some are legalā¦but obviously there are a lot of addicts and families of addicts suffering all over the world. All we can do is listen to eachother, educate ourselves and share that knowledge, offer love to others who canāt love themselves right now, and get better a day at a time.

I totally agree. I hope my posting of my daughter fight with addiction offended anyone. I just been in so much pain and heartache, fear, and anger for what meth has done to that girl. At the same time I am fight my own addition to alcohol. So I just shared her , and my story. If that posting offended anyoneā¦I didnāt mean to. I learned to hate things I want to avoid. Cigarettes, alcohol, meth, but not the person or the person who is addicted.

Thank you for sharing your truth about you and your daughter.

Hey there. I have been off meth for almost 6 months now. My partner and I lost everything, and fell pregnant. After many attempts at quitting we had to basically run and hide from everyone and everything to quit together for the baby. He was born healthy and perfect. His development is going so well. We worked extremely hard together to get him as healthy as possible, as well as ourselves. We were homeless and beating each other up both physically abd psychologically. Our recovery has been extremely isolating: ( but we have beaten the odds. Iām just sharing because it might give other people hope they can quit, and stay clean off that awful drug. It almost ruined our lives, and an innocent one. But it didnāt. For now we are doing everything we can to prevent relapse, and just keep.moving forward. All the best to everyone

So, I am 56 days sober and counting. I have smoked meth off and on for 3 years now. Gave it up for almost a full year when I met my fiance but relapsed 3 times within a year but I am proud and honored that I have such an understanding fiance and such an amazing son who stood by me every steo of my recovery. I havenāt been clean as long as some of you but I am proud of myself and every single one of you who are struggling and fighting everyday to stay away from our addiction. Keep your heads up, I know each and everyone of us have it in us to keep fighting.

Heyā¦ Iām pretty new here. The crash/last time I used was January 23rd. Any advice to keep and stay clean? Stay strong? My boyfriend and I used together and we are both recovering.
We smoked. Never injected. I thought it was the most heavenly feeling in the world. Used for about 3 months straight. Ended up in paranoid state of mind most of the time. Thinking there was more drugs in the house other than just the meth itself. Stayed up for a week straight when we decided to quit.
Itās been such a battle mentally and has been taking a toll on my body. Sleep seems to be my best friend latelyā¦ Hope to hear back and congratulations on your sobriety!

Is meth the same all round the world? Its a massive prob here in nz, we dont have nearly the same amount of coke or heroin reach our shores, but currently they are intercepting massive quantities of p coming in. Its easier to get that weed.
I smoked Meth for about 6 months or so. I been clean for a couple years. Worst decision I ever made to try itā¦ I was hooked immediately. I think eventuallly the danger factor made us leave that life behind as it is driven by gangs, but ill never be the same agaainā¦ now completely and utterly dependent on weed and I blame the p. Maybe im wrong but this is my experience with it. So glad I got away when I could. The thought of it still makes me crave but im determined not to let it back inā¦ congrats on us all for getting off it!!! Yay for beating the purest evil there is

Hey there, Iāve been a user for five years. I started doing it because a lot of people at my job used. We worked 12 hour shifts, graveyard, and very physically demanding. Not that thatās an excuse i worked there for 3 years before I tried it. I used off and on at work with my coworkers, first it was every two weeks, then every week, then every workday, and 2 years later it was everyday all day. I had a good job, my own place, and i was even going to school at some point. Then I started calling in too much because I didnāt want to work 12 hours after being up for 3 days. I got fired and then i took a turn for the worst. Was living in my car for a bit, then at the trap, and doing petty crimes to get by. Things started to get more serious, bigger scores, etc. At one point i think i was up for 3 weeks straight and thatās when I experienced psychosis. I legitimately started to believe that the people who ran the trap were govt. Agents part of some big conspiracy to spread addiction among the masses (hey its not that far fetched) thats when I left that place. Totally broke, jobless, came home to mom and quit for 3 months. Fast forward a year and Iām working a good job, bought a car, eating healthy and Iām doing goodā¦ Except i relapse about once a month, almost like a schedule. The last time i used was yesterday and before that was 2 months. I just want to put this shit behind me. Nowadays i cut everyone that uses, out of my life so when I relapse I just smoke by myself which leads me to binge heavily for 2/3 days it which is probably just as bad as doing it everyday. I donāt really know what to do to quit. So I downloaded this app to make some sort of effort but i am pleasantly surprised it has this forum on it. Reading these stories definitely give me motivation . Thanks for reading, i know itās long.

Nowhere Iām kind of where you are at, but too scared for IV and I am going to have to Google what parachuting is, ha. I was just arguing with my husband cause he is in psychosis and I had a meltdown worrying before I finished my assignments for school 1 min before they were due. So yeah I want my life back tooā¦ Tired of this.
Wow Iām sorry to hear that about her. My husband attempted suicide and was found half naked trying to break in his work truckā¦ Now we are in a downward spiral since. I am glad she is doing better.
This is why Iām starting to like this app. Me and my husband have completely isolated ourselves and we have been psychologically abusing each other constant. I feel alone and losing motivationā¦For everything
If it isnāt directly a cause of you feeling sick it definitely knocks your immune system down. I have had a nasty cough for a couple months and have lost my voice a few times because of it.
Your story sounds close to my husband. He only had to use for a few days to experience psychosis. He becomes paranoid and thinks everyone is out to get himā¦But the people he cares for the most including me. He thought every post on Craigslist was me looking for sexual encounters and became controlling. He accused my dad for cutting his break lines and tracking his truck and phone. He ran outside and circled the house for āintrudersā whenever he heard a car near. He is now homeless because my parents wonāt allow him here and I am here causeā¦Wellā¦ As it goesā¦ Too tired to care.

This makes my heart hurt and my stomach turn. That reminder of what drugs can do to a person. Itās so evil. Today, Iām so grateful not to be caught up in that web of insanity and hopelessness. Thank you, God.
