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.
I am 45 days into sobriety....away from the killing beast that almost got me. It's trying its hardest to get me again. I have read all about the stages of quitting meth. My overconfidence that left me on Saturday and all of of a sudden like a ton of bricks, I hit the wall hard. The depression and hopelessness is worse than I imagined and just over all feeling of doom. It feels like its never going to go away. About 3 weeks after quitting. i was up and running thought I could conquer the world. And felt better with my spiritual and physical life than ever. Then BAM this weekend this BS started. I realize I did this to myself but does anyone have any suggestions or at least tell me it's not as bad as it seems and wont last up to 60 to 90 days like they say. This time last year I was in the same place but day one of the wall I was using again. I refuse to let this get me this time. I live with my parents so getting out alone or even w a friend is not possible right now. They don't quite get being stuck here all day is hard. But Pain before pleasure. I just dont know how I will handle this horrible dreadful feeling for a month or three.
At first, i was waking up, super early,..getting some coffee and chillin with my computer n some music..
Then like u said about a month later the cravings started , bad..
I had to stay sober i was in a CPS investigation and was being tested every 2-3 days.. so i had no choice...
But during and at the 8 months i was still craving.
I was around it though cause people in my life were still using
it was when i let my "friends" start coming back around that i did it again.
I also quit not too long ago for only 2 weeks, but what helped me during those 2 weeks was watching Youtube videos of meth heads..Just search on youtube "meth" and a ton come up
and also reading on the net about what its made with and how it affects your health
I am getting ready to quit again. I am starting a therapy called EMDR for post traumatic stress disorder
and they are going to be testing me and told me i have to attend a 2 hour 1x a week Group for substance abuse
I so so so so hope this is the last time i quit!
Good luck!
