⭐️ Social ⭐️ Functioning meth addicts let's talk

I just want to know if anybody knows what kind of damage cm can do if you put it up your nose on a regular basis? Damage to your nose, that is. Or maybe even stomach from draining down.

Depends, how much meth are we talking about? And for how long?
Overall it would probably be similar to cocaine, though not quite as bad. The difference is meth isn't a local anesthetic so it's going to hurt.
Some things to limit the damage (besides switching ROA):
- crushing the crystals really well
- rinsing your nose with saline
- dissolving your dose in a small amount of water/saline and snorting that instead
 
I can honestly say that without any meth for the last 2 days I feel way more functional. I wasn’t dysfunctional to any great degree really and I slept for the first day off it with lots of seroquel but today I’m catching up on all the things I’ve been slacking off from the last two weeks of daily smoking.

The difference between functional and dysfunctional depends on each individuals’ personal standards as well as their hopes, dreams, and aspirations in life. As far as progress towards any of that meth feels like i’m treading water while caught in an outgoing ocean rip unable to get back to the shore. Eventually exhaustion would get me.
 
Well, I'm a daily user, for a few years now. I was a daily user a few years back and definitely was NOT a functional addict at that time. I would consider myself one now, though. My husband and I go through about an oz a month. Get from the same person, don't ever sell. Keep it hidden from EVERYONE. Both hold full time jobs. I eat 3 meals a day, and sleep every other night. About once a month I clock out for like, 24 hours straight tho. Kind of like my mini vacation time. Take my vitamins and drink TONS of water (and Gatorade). Eat lots of fruit, brush my teeth, etc. Meth is the ONLY drug I use. My husband, on the other hand, is a huge pot head and alcoholic. I warn him what that is doing to the body, but he does him. He ain't gonna listen anyway. Never had any trouble with the authorities, never been evicted. Pay my rent, pay my taxes, go to work as a housekeeper, then come home and do arts and crafts or some shit. Sometimes play video games. I'm a very private person, especially when it comes to my family. You know how family can be. Everyone thinks they know what's best for you. But, I mean at the end of the day, I'm a functioning member of society. I don't get in trouble, mind my own business, and I like to get high. I don't see what's wrong with that. Anyone can be a functioning addict. All you have to do is remember to take care of yourself. Eat, and sleep. Most important things.
 
There are some meth users who are functional, more than people realize I think. But probably not many who CRAVE it in the daily rift down to the physical body needing it. Merh has a profile of long term effects which are bound to be negative regardless of how many / how severe yours are. That's going to be individual to you, and aside from the physical and mental exertion of the meth use itself - there are your Circumstances.

You don't know what kind of trap you're going to fall into, progress lost, or positive points of life you're excluded from due tongue meth use. People talk too. You give off signs when you use drugs on the regular that people will notice sooner or later.

The more engaged you are in using this drug (the same way as if you were to start seeing a new partner on the down low) the more time you spend away from what's regular to the people you need to think you're on regular. The more people will notice that missing something, and are more people you're into using with with, including yourself in actuality. You have to be really slick, without a guilty conscience to your drug use, and able to focus on everything else while your doing it to pull this off.

People do notice. The stigma is the most likely first culprit in your downfall I’d predict. Then the psychological aspects will intensify. Then the rest.
 
I function perfectly on meth as you all know. Anyone who worked alongside me on staff especially will know this. I had to leave because I was too perfect for my job.

I don't really have this problem because I am estranged from my family, and I have like maybe 3 friends. I have zero guilt for using. I like to get high. I'm not hurting anyone but myself, and I function fine, so there isn't anything to feel guilty about. Maybe that helps me, maybe not. 🤷‍♀️ I think the key to my success at staying on the low about my use is that ALWAYS high. So no one has seen me actually sober in years. So, this is just regular me to everyone. I don't really care what people think about me or my use. They don't walk in my shoes, pay my bills, or do a single thing for me. If someone in my life discovers I use and decide they want to disconnect, they can go ahead and kick rocks. I don't need people like that in my life anyway. Most people who know me wouldn't believe you if you told them I was using anyway tho.
 
I really wish I’d stop being so damn endlessly functional and go the fuck to bed for a change.
 
As I sit here in my rv next to my wife listening to beat!beat!beat! Smoking a bowl and a foil with fet on it, believe it or not I'm 100% with it and functional for the most part. I'm 36 years old have been an opiate user for 16 years meth on and off over the 16 years. Heroin was great but fentanyl has now taking over the streets of Bakersfield so if you use opiates here you use fet. My wife and I turned boosting into a career and we have made an insane amount of money of course saved none but we are still handling everything and take care of our two daughters. They do everything kids should do school, eat, dr. etc. We both had jobs but as things went with COVID and all kinds of shit we had to figure out different ways to figure it out so we did. We are both smart use handle our shit but people we know there minds would be blow if they knew how much we've stolen from retail stores shit I don't want to know the total. But besides that I'm constantly trying to figuring out ways to make money legally which my wife and I have a few ideas that we are trying hard work will payoff no matter what. Ive played music my whole life I'll link some of my music. The last 8 months I got a drum set and have gotten pretty decent, And believe it or not it has tought me discipline in my whole life. I'm ready to get clean and write and album with a clear mind. I'm ready to be something my kids would be proud to say that's my dad. I'm ready to give my wife a nice worry free life. I don't know why I posted this Rick Johnson but thank you for making this post.
Take is sleazy,

I know that post was just all over the place but I haven't got to kind of vent to anyone really or I never do cuz I don't really have people to talk to but yeah
 
When I was using heavily in 2016-2017 I was not functional by any means necessary at certain points of my use. Like my binging would go through the roof, I was driving under the influence (something I refuse to do now), turning up to university high, using throughout the day at uni during classes, using before or during any social engagement. It was messy.

I've been using meth for the past 5 months in a functional way. I use once a week or fortnight and almost always on the exact same day with some minor variations.

My tolerance has creeped up though, so I'm restricting my use from this Friday onwards as I move into my new apartment and my rent increases substantially and I always pay my bills before I spend money on drugs. So I also won't be able to afford my current level of use with my new budget.

I definitely consider myself functional at this stage. I socialise, exercise, pay my bills, meet my obligations, never miss work, never turn up to work high, and the only way it even effects me is financially.

Me in 2017? Not functional at all. Getting retrospective withdrawal no fails from uni courses, dropping to a 75% course load, falling grades. Even my friendships at the moment aren't suffering even though they all know I'm using.

I shoot up, but limiting my use is what enables me to stay functional. That, and the memory of what it used to be like and the barriers I have in place which prevent me from falling back into that level of use.

How do you and your doctors disentangle your autism dysfunctionality from your meth-induced dysfunctionality?

There is no meth induced dysfunctionality. I am under the influence 24 hours out of the week or every fortnight, and it has no impact on my life. None of my family know I use, nor do my employers. The only people who do are my support staff who are around me on days after the night I've used and my team manager.

I don't use nearly enough for it to actually impact my life substantially, and my GP doesn't know I am currently using as I don't rock up high.

I'm not sure why it would cause an issue, I wasn't using when I was diagnosed anyway, I was abstinent so there was no overlap going on there, this has just been for the past 5 months at a rate of generally once a fortnight. Pretty negligible if you ask me.

I wasn't diagnosed with autism back in 2016-2017 when I was using heavily, nor did I have autistic burnout. That happened in mid last year. So the periods of heavy use and deterioration in my autism were entirely seperate.

I suppose the best way of saying it is that the drug use doesn't functionally impact me in the same way the autism does? Not at the current level it is at, at least. I'd agree that if I got assessed in 2016-2017 it would have been impossible to assign any label to which area of my life was impaired by what, without any doubt. But that's why when I got assessed they asked me in-depth questions about my substance use history and also how much trauma therapy I'd done as autism can mirror childhood trauma in some people too.

LONG TERM LIFER FUNCTIONAL, 37 years young 22 years amphetamines and 15 or so methamphetamine, im on a 3 year run now with not a single break in use, and its not easy to maintain that kind of longjevity without some very very key facts. One is the meth never runs out for there has to always be 3 4 plans to back up plans to make sure that the ozs n qps n hlbs maintain a steady grind out there feeding the tweekers of the night. Thats the only way i have made this all possible is to be a very well studied businessman in the world of marketing products and services. Hustling for 20 years and using my brain to fuel my constant grind, see i came into the world of meth a veteran of a well corneded amphetamine world that i maintained through many years and only at 30 stopped so when people where getting cut off i was still getting 4-6 scripts of them a month like clockwork. So if you cant honestly pick up the phone and order a lb or a oz at anytime of night for a price that only people selling shit 28 n up will start getting and lower when 4 oz is hit. The margin ive made is 3 fold every time 250 turns to 1000 in mere minutes and thats how you maintain a long go. Three years i havent took a day off, prior to that i was only off every other week for a small few days. Why do it anymore because I HAVE FOUND A WAY TO MAKE MY SHIT BETTER THEN THE SHIT I GET THROUGH CHEMISTRY!!!. The high i get is real its there, and the hotrails are massive but hey its what we do at this point i bust a gram line you bust it into nine. you can take care of yourself brush the teeth eat drink water and sleep and take hydration supplements, men supplements, educating myself is a life long task the more i know the more i grow. Start small if you need to use a water app on your phone 15 min water sips. It is possible to not look like a tweaker my teeth arent gone im not a looney tune and i run a pretty self sustaining successful small buisness. Have dreams you once had dont let em go you can do it to hard work and educate yourself makes it all possible. NC-17 thats my shit my brand my company get yourself something nice.
