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.

Desperatly need help.
I have been married to a meth addict for 10 years. It has been pure hell. To sum up my problem, I will cover the last 2 years.
After one of many relapses, when it looked like the end of the marriage because I could not handle going thru the same repeat of lies, and betrayals. Then my wife said to me "Please dont leave me, if you do, I will end up on the streets and die. I love you more than anything in the world, but I cannot control myself". With that said, I saw a glimmer of hope that I could actually save the one that meant the most to me in the world. It would kill me to leave her as well as to stay with her, so I convinced her to go into a treatment program, we found one, 28 days, and $5,000.
Our plan was, she would go to treatment, then go and live with her parents for a while to finish her recovery with NA meetings while I worked and got back on our feet at home. She actually went to classes during this and got a CNA certificate. I was so proud.
So, 9 months later, we move back together.
3 months later. I notice changes in her behavior, the same indicators. She flatly denies it. It finally comes down to her physically assaulting me, and the cops dragging her off to jail, and a 6 month no contact order.
I have currenly filed for divorce, but somehow keep putting off getting the last of the required documents to the courts to be filed.
My wife is currently living with another meth head, sleeping with him. We do have contact now. She hates where she is at, knows how destructive it is, but feels that she is worthy of nothing else.
I am in pergatory. Between wanting to get on with my life, and saving a person that I love, even though she is buried deep within herself.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Please visit his memorial website, share it with others. May Austin's story give you and others the strength to understand and help fight the addiction.

Another great website for you to visit is www.kci.org
There are alot of great people that will also give you support. Have you attended Alanon or Narcanon meetings? This will help in your recovery.
I will pray for you and your wife and I'm hear if you want to talk.
Blessings.

How much more can I take. I am in a lose - lose situation. I cannot be happy either way.
I believe she truely wants help. We cannot get out of this destructive cycle. I believe that there is hope, if only we could get the help we need. I do not trust the system anymore. I thought by pressing charges against her for assault, then breaking the no contact order would help, the system failed, it has only made the situation worse.
I took her to local metal health to help with her addiction, they went right past the addiction and started treating her for bi-polar disorder and drugged her up with meds.
What do you do for 2 people who are desperate for help who do not have the resources for 1 year in-patient. We are broke, I can barely function and live my own life, she has some legal troubles.
I am lost. I cannot give up, I have no clue how to get on with my life. I feel that I have abandoned someone who desperately needs my help, who cries for help. But I have turned my back.
Yes, I did read 'You can't make me clean'.
We know this. What do you do when you want to stay clean, but due to cycles that we cannot seem to control hinder, or stop progress?
Also, I do find it hard to fully accept that. I beleive that they cannot get it done alone, and need help and support.
What City and State do you live in?
I'll try to help. Is she currently living with her meth friend? Does she want to seek treatment? That is the first step because without her involved in her recovery, there is no recovery. You need to work on you as well.
Let me know and you can send me a private message.

My problem is deeper than that. We are no longer living with one another. She is in a meth narcosis. She is so unstable that I have had to remove myself and stop protecting her.
She is out living with, and sleeping with, another meth addict.
She continues to contact me and it is just tearing me up.
I have been the enabler for 10 years. Everytime she hits rock bottom, and that always seems to be one notch below the last rock bottom, she gets help for one reason. To continue the game and keep me in her life. She is a great con artist. She can even fool the pro's.
I believe I have to stop helping at all. Have no contact at all, be completely out of her life before she will find her rock bottom.
I cannot be her knight in shining armor. I believe she will never find recovery that way.
Meth is a selfish drug. So realize your life is worthy of pressing forward with. "Happily ever after" and "once upon a time" are a mockery of words on paper that irony defines. live on. You have seen the ugly face of addiction up close and personal and survived. Keep her and her habits a good distance from your life or you will only prolong the enevitable which is watching spin her wheels on the road of life.
