hello, i've used this site before to research many things in the past. Figured it was about time to become a member here.

First thing about me is that I'm a recovering meth addict. at the moment i'm 35 days sober. but i should add this recovery isn't what i wanted. i got arrested, and right now i'm stuck with legal and family issues. so at the moment that's why i'm sober. i however do use my gabapentin to get a nice buzz from time to time.

the second and last thing i'll bore you with. back when i was a kid and before using i use to talk to my mom about how i hear voices. she always dismissed it. while i was using (7 years) the voices didn't exist. well now that i'm off meth, the voices are back and got way more intense. i just got of a 7 day stay at a mental health clinic. did well for the first couple days after i got discharged. however as im typing this they are getting very loud. feel like i'm using my mind.

but yeah, im here to learn and share my stories and knowledge. thanks for reading!

Hey imadeadbeat - welcome to the forum

Well done on 35 days sober! I tend to think it's a good thing to escape addiction?

It sounds like you need to see psychiatric/psychological services - you may possibly have a form of schizophrenia. Which would mean staying away from meth would be a very wise thing to do (due to dopamine/serotonin levels etc).

Anyway, check out the forums. You may find the Recovery Support Forums particularly helpful.

Hope to see you around,
