My best and oldest friend (been a brother since second grade, so 27 years now) has been strung out on meth for months and months, actually probably about a year and a half.
Fucking meth, man... my friend has gone from one drug problem to the next in late teens and adulthood. First it was coke, that was bad, then alcohol, that was bad too, I worried about him a lot. Then heroin for years, worried about him all the time. But meth has been, BY FAR, the most fucked up thing he's gotten involved in. I don't even recognize this person. It's so fucked up. I basically think about it all the time and it tears me up.He has really big self-esteem problems he has never really addressed. If he can sober up long enough to regain sanity (and at this point that's a big if
), he has such a long road to recovery. I don't know if he can do it. But god I hope so...
Thanks CD, this is why I love this community. I don't have the support I wish I did, I've never been close to my family, but I'm pretty decent at dealing with these things. More scary having neurological diseases on both sides, my grandfather on my mother's side died of Parkinsons and now my mom's showing signs. And my dad's huntingtons.
fighting temptation only a few days rn i'm glad i did a few precautionary measures to deny me access ( sincerely mean that). i dig that, scott. more than half my life, probation or location were only things that had me sober for a period of a year + . it's possible, i know it is the hardest thing in life but fuck it challenge accepted. never underestimate the power you/we have over our thoughts. deep down there is hope for us all, truly believe that.
Oh, hey Jekyl, maybe look at some kind of puppy fence for the pit, yeah? Remember what happened last time!
