Meth Addiction & Recovery Support Group

While I did meth I also kept a job and paid the bills and all that. But the only reason I did that was so I could continue to get high. I couldn't get high without a job or place to live. I had no social life except for my drug dealers. I was introduced to the program of alcoholics annonymous before i started using meth and I'm glad i was because all my friends in the program realised my problem and kept pushing me to get better. I know how it is feeling like to live to get high and I know it feels good at the time. I still have a lot of problems I need to work on but I have a great life now and I would never trade it for my old life.

To the mother who said she needs to get high to be around her baby!! That's messed up and I pray for you.. My Son died at birth and there's not a day I don't wish he wasn't here. I am a addict and got clean as soon as I found out i was having a baby.. really, like the person said before, are you mad at Deral or yourself.....

Hello, I am a mom. Not a drug user or an alcoholic. I do however have a CHILD who is 21 sitting in jail because drugs caused her to nearly take the life of another human being. See 2 yrs ago she decided to have some friends over for a little getting high. She had meth, acid and prescriptions sitting around. Her son was in the house (who was 2 at the time). She got high and left with a friend to go get something. Appearantly a 17 yr old was depressed and decided to commit suicide with the drugs left on the table. They were able to save him and get him help but she was charged with the drugs and endangerment of a minor. Her son was sent to her dad's and she continued on drugs. She did not do anything the court told her so she is in jail. Finally free right now of drugs. She tells me how she so bad wants a different life and wants her son. She wants to be free of the nightmare of meth. But she is scared that she won't be able to break free. It has cost her so much. Her son is only 4 but resents her for leaving him. What do you think will happen? Please try to find a reason to fight. Drugs make it easy to deal with not liking yourself. Life is not easy. You have to fight to want to live. I would not know how to live if I loose her. Look at the people around you that suffer. Maybe not today, or tomorrow but something will happen. Drugs are a disease. It takes work to live without them. Drugs kill little children, families, and innocent people. Drug dealers kill to bring you those drugs. You are a part of that drug war by taking those drugs that other people have died for. Please wake up and believe that you can try to change the world and learn to love yourself. Drugs keep you believing that your okay. One day you wont be and you will wish you never started again. I don't judge you because I know what my daughter feels. But please help stop this drug war. Help save someone elses child by getting help. I am here to listen I know your here to reach out. Take care. I love you just for trying to find a way to deal with it.

I have been clean for 11and1/2 years I was afraid that recovery would be boring as I had been using since I was 13 since I have been in recovery I have learned that it never has to be boring and the most amazing thing is I am getting my sanity back meth especially takes away the ability to feel excitement and joy but that comes back eventually There are also recovery groups and other people that have the same interests and problems feeling I hope that you give recovery a chance and you will expierience joy again just give it a chance

Ok I'm exactly like you...WTF? Sounds like me anyways i can function better on meth and act normal. Not like the rest of them that are all gross and taking things apart. I use it to get shit done or else i would sleep my life away. And it's like you don't want to do it and you know it's bad but you can't help it. It's necessary to function better. I sleep every night too. But my question is what is it that is going to bring you down or make you go crazy? Is it the fact you can't afford it to do what you need to do or is it other factors that are going to make you upset and crazy? just wondering...karen

Hi, I just joined this site and I am sorry if I am posting my question on the wrong section of this page but anyway, My best friend is a meth addict and I love him very much. I really want to help him recover but I do not know how to go about doing that. I do have some backround with meth, my father is an addict along with many other family members, I personally will never touch the stuff because I know what it does to people.

I understand the thinking you need it to function or to have a full life. I thought the same thing. But if you look hard and long enough you will find something you enjoy more then drugs. I promise. =]
