This is a very good read, and, in most cases, true. Across the board. I remember starting my meth abuse, and I thought I was on top of the world. I was proud of the fact that I did dope, and I was always on cloud nine...until one day I realized I was doing meth to feel normal, and didn't have much else to be happy about. I abandoned my career as a computer tech supports specialist (I kept the job, but quit trying to advance myself, and called in sick alot because I didn't sleep the night before).
I ended up getting arrested for marijuana possession (thankfully not meth), and attended rehab and did the probation thing. But all it made me do is be more secretive and careful of my "3-day Drug" use. After probation was up, I stayed off of the dope...for a while.
This drug is definitely one that will alter your perception of the world around you. You feel so great inside, but when you are coming down, you feel like the most rotten person in the world. You either want more, or want to pass out. And neither usually happens. I would spend the entire next day after an all-nighter with my heart pounding, laying in bed begging for sleep, only to still be deprived for the rest of the day. I would end up with maybe 5 hours sleep over a two day period, or less.
I developed a huge porn habit while on meth as I couldn't find a girl on dope (thankfully in retrospect). I would spend the entire time I was alone and flying high watching porn and thinking of nothing but sex. It was the loneliest 3 years of my life.
I have since kicked the habit, and I haven't been spun out in over 3 years (woohoo!), and I would offer a stern warning to those of you looking to try this drug...
If you don't want to live for yourself anymore; if you don't want other things to matter anymore; if you don't want to be close to your family anymore; if you don't want to live much longer; if you want to do irreversible damage to your heart, liver, and lungs; if you want to go days on end without sleep or proper nourishment; if you want to drive those around you not using the drug away, and alienate yourself from the rest of the world; if your life is empty and you would only like to expedite the dying process...
...then by all means, go ahead and start using meth.
