Yes, you absolutely need to stop doing it. People get sucked into the cycle easily. "I want to stop, but I gotta go to work today" you end up doing too much Methamphetamine to go to sleep. Pretty soon, the depression/anhedonia further will reinforce the compulsion to use. Even if you don't need to be awake, you feel so shitty you have to do it just one more time. You think if you do it just one more time, you'll collect your thoughts, get your shit in order and set things straight. Then you just jack off for 12 hours straight and feel disgusting in so many different ways by morning, how the hell could you stop?
You will quickly alienate people living like this. The more you are alienated from people you care about, the more you have to rely on Meth. After a month or so, you're dealing with a problem that can't just be solved with willpower. You will need several days off to recover and sleep. For many of us who live paycheck to paycheck, this sort of thing is easily catastrophic.
Well, that's why you have to keep doing Meth, at least until you have that right opportunity to stop. It will only get harder.
Stop right now. Do not do any more Meth. Do not do even a little bit more. If this person is an addict, they're not gonna be able to hang out with you anymore. It just will not work. You need to amputate it all right now. The saying "it's all fun and games..." I know many will say I'm being melodramatic. It's pretty hard to get the necessary perspective unless you've seen it. I talk a lot about the "Event Horizon" of addiction.
The "Event Horizon" is that area around a black hole, the final boundary in which an object could feasibly escape the gravity of the black hole and get sucked in. It looks like you're so far away, you don't realize that you're already crossing the event horizon.
