Meth Addiction & Recovery Support Group
Methamphetamine is a synthetic stimulant drug used for both medicinal and recreational purposes. Methamphetamine is highly psychologically addictive. Like most stimulants, large doses of methamphetamine can result in a strong feeling of euphoria at the expense of physical fatigue and a strong "come-down" as the drug's effect wears off.
For the past three years i have been stuck in a downward spiral of dope n needles, struggle and numb emotions, and feeling like i would never break the cycle of relapse by or before the three month mark.. Well i am now 18 days away from 5 months sober and scared to death and struggling with all the weight gain and insecurities associated... Although i am proud of myself i am nervous to get too comfortable and find myself on a back slide once again.. Any suggestions about the weight issues and also managing ADHD without meds that could kead me to relapse as well...?
I myself have been diagnosed with ADHD, and recommend caffeine and herbal supplements for a natural management. Herbs like skullcap, American ginseng and Ginkgo biloba which are generally made into a tea may also help. Antioxidants can be of assistance, as well.
