I started out with pot, then e, then before I knew it, I've tried coke, heroin and ice.
Out of all that I've tried, I found a great affinity with ice.
For so many years of my life, I've always kept to myself & cried alone. When I was on ice, however, the barriers broke down and I was willing to share the secret part of me.
I was addicted, not to the drug, but to what the drug enabled me to do.
Many would dismiss it if I said I was using ice to soul search. Plain BS.
I was on a binge for almost 3 months. I was only sober when I was coming down. Even that didn't last for long.
Whenever I was on ice, I talked. As I talked, I gathered pieces of memories and fragments of the past. Slowly, I put together those pieces and discovered it made me who I am today.
I had in me so much guilt that only I hadn't realized. I also discovered that all this guilt was from my childhood.
I finally found closure for myself and told my parents about my hidden feelings about the past. Since then, a great weight has been lifted off my back and I do not carry that guilt with me anymore.
It is somehow amazing how it changed my life and speeded up my process of healing (it would've taken me years, maybe).
I knew I was using ice for a purpose and I told myself that once it has fulfilled it's purpose, I would no longer use it.
I have been clean from ice for more than a month now. I do not intend to go back down that road again.
Weird though, I also discovered that being high on ice is exactly like depression. I always called it depression in a drug. symptoms are the same. outcome all bad. remedy is to change the way you look at things, because then, the things you look at change. (read this quote somewhere in the forums, I think)
It would only be abused if you abuse it.
I just thought I'd share this with people out there.
