Oh WOW @StayinStrong1128! The false high of meth is a hard one too-well they all are. My adult son and I were talking earlier (he is in recovery and re entry for just shy of 120 days now. Itās been 15 years. He asked me to listen to this song as we spoke earlier. Immediately my heart sunk after hearing the title but I reacted calmly and after we had a great and honest talk-(during his lunch break working a real job!), I went to you tube and listened to this song āMethamphetamineā.
Even if you already know it Iād like to share the refrain for a reminder and for others trying to recover from meth. Keep going strong the worst is behind you! Old Crow Medicine Show:
"Itās gonna rock you like a hurricane
Itās gonna rock you till you lose sleep
Itās gonna rock you till youāre out of a job
Itās gonna rock you till youāre out on the street
Itās gonna rock you till youāre down on your knees
Itās gonna have you begging pretty please
Itās gonna rock you like a hurricane
Methamphetamine.
I had to read it many times to realize that being rocked liked a hurricane is NOT a good thing.
Keep strong and do what youāve been doing to live health!!!

You go girl!! Youāre on your way and know what to do at this point! If you ever do have to look back-donāt stare-reach out. I donāt have to imagine the great positive changes in your lifeā¦I know them personally! Keep forward!
71 days and thinking of going to my first meeting tonight. Had a panic attack earlier and all of a sudden started thinking dope made me normal. Iāve done several things to keep the craving as it is, just a craving. I canāt go back to that life

Adding a recovery program and the fellowship adds a whole other level to your recovery in sobriety. Iām proud of you. It takes a strong women to know when sheās in trouble and needs to face it.

I have horrible social anxiety but I just got a sitter about to head to my very first NA meeting. Thank you for the support , it always nice hearing someoneās proud of you. I literally went to detox, got out and after getting a second chance..moved back to my grandmothers with my kids , made a new facebook, changed my #, and havenāt gone out unless its for the kids or groceries. After these 71 days I literally speak to 1 person, which is my bestfriend but thatāll probably change too because ive changed my whole life and think weāre on different paths. Thanks to this group I have internet āadultā time lol. Anywho, thanks again!!! Kinda want to puke and not even there yet

I been on and off meth for the last year and this is my thrid try in recovery I am hoping to kick it this time for good. I suggest whatās working for me if I keep my but in meetings and reach out to others in Recovery and my family when I want use the most it seems to be whatās helping me most this time. You got to want it. Recovery works if you work it. I also herd why do we do circles at the end of meetings so we donāt do lines that to me makes a lot of sense and it has stuck with me. Best wishes.

I am about 25 hours in, i had been clean almost 5 months but relapsed last weekend. Now im utilizing this app and id like to thank everyone for sharing. Relapse is hard and for me i have a self image issue and im being selfish by losing weight the quick and easy way, and i know ill regain it back. I ought to know better. Another problem for me is sitting idle at home too much. I am going to try and get a routine for staying busy every hour of everyday, maybe itll distract me. Until then i hope you all the very best and congrats on your 677 days
