Is meth really that addictive?

MzHighandMighty said:
I have to admit that I'm really starting to rethink everything. I'm very afraid of addiction. I have a three year old daughter that I love more than life itself. I would never want to do anything that could potentially hurt her. I guess my ride with meth is over.

Good decision. Congrats and keep it up!
Think about your daughter, it works for me.
 
Never done it, but known people who have. Yes, it's incredibly addictive. Even after they quit they were always tempted to go back.
 
Australian research says that approximately one in ten people who try meth go on to use "more than monthly", with approximately half of them using "more than weekly". This is as close as we can get to estimating the number of people who try it and develop a habit, since we can't assess individual dependency and addiction on a population level.

Still, while 90% of people who try meth don't go on to become habitual users, that's not really much comfort to all the people with debilitating habits stuck in addiction-related chaotic lifestyles.
 
I decided to IV some one time just to see what the big deal was, it was alright but not amazing. It was similar to adderall but cleaner and more calming. Really a better form of amphetamine than straight dex. I really don't find amps that great for recreation. Useful, but not that fun.

Meth hasn't been around in many of the drug circles I've been in but I haven't done it again. I've done it twice in my life, almost a decade apart. Some people it just clicks with. Opiates just clicked with me. I would probably do it again, but good cocaine I find more enjoyable.

That, right there, is the one thing that haunts me the most! I started, loved it so dam much! afterwords i was in complete control, i could never do it again, sure no problem! but i liked it so.... Why Not!?

I do more and more, so easy to get, every day more and more, and everyday i check in with myself, and NOPE, complete control, no "pull" or need/urge, i felt like i could give it up and walk away whenever and stop permanently. so i kept going! Practically every day since i first started for month and a half! ...i had moments when i'd pass out etc....

LONG STORY SHORT: came time my insanely long binge was forced to stop. and i realized how deep i'd gone! its not just a mental craving, it fuks up your circadian rhythm! you loose tons of weight and muscle mass! adopt mental/psychotic illnesses that REALLY can get in your way, OCD a common one to say the LEAST! sleep deprivation will have a big part. and ontop of all that you must maintain job and everything else one wishes to maintain in life! Did i forget HYGIENE?! you better not slack of on that one, i was good on that for the most part, but some other dudes not so much! yah so mentally it'll fuk you up until your mental fuk-ups start physically fukin you up!

Got for me to the point where i literally didnt want to do it, because i wanted to get off and stop binging all the time, but every time i tried, was like i had Negative days worth of energy, like i was deep in debt with energy, i couldnt stay awake, would pass out all the time (fall unconscious instantly) as well as just go to bed all the time! sometimes i'd be driving and feel it coming, pull over imidiately, thro it in park, wake up to almost empty tank, idling on shoulder of road still! forced to call in "sick" for work because i just couldnt make it! and yah! would have to do meth just to be awake to do the stuff needed to do that day!

I got there from being in control, "No addiction" to "looks like i'll be dry a few days" then a "holy shit i'm fuked!" almost instantly without warning! its deceptive as fuk, and yah, i've taken up to the longest being a week long break! thinking i'm done with it, NOPE i crave it and miss it and love it soooo dam much! i get even bigger stash and start over!
Mind over Matter!
it fuks with you mentally, not physically huh?...... well so it goes!
my opinion, addictive level: 10 out of 10
withdrawal level: I'd give it more of a 7 (ONLY because you dont exactly get "sick" more like you pay the price for neglecting basic/critical needs for too long) I'm more likely to give Opiates and Alcohol a 12 er 15 out of 10 because well.... thats off topic anyways. I'm OBVIOUSLY tweakin right now!....
 
If you have a babygirl at home, it's a good decision not only to not do meth, but don't let people who do meth in your house. You think a person you know is good and you trust them, wait until you wind up with stuff missing. It's happened to a lot of us. My room mate was dating this 21 year old girl who "used to do meth with her boyfriend". She looked like something you scrape up behind a mall eatery. She was missing almost all of her top teeth. Things kept coming up missing out of my house and I busted her on camera. You don't even want to play with that road. There are plenty of other safer things to enjoy. If you need more motivation, watch a recent episode of COPS from the midwest. Those skinny, scabby, toothless guys who look 20 years older than their real age running around a trailer park with no shirt on should motivate you in the right direction. Good luck to you.
 
It really depends on the person. For some reason, certain people love alcohol over all else, for some people it's heroin, for some people it's cannabis, and for others it's methamphetamine.

Availability also plays a big role in usage but not in addiction as much. That is, it is quite possible to still be mentally addicted to methamphetamine years after one's last use due to a sharp reduction in availability and concomitant rise in prices.

We definitely don't let users in our home, or even know where we live. We're very cautious about what we expose her to. We don't even allow cigarettes.
I'm afraid that would all change after one good hit of meth. I'm sure not all meth heads start out as bad parents. I'm so glad I'm on this site.

I totally agree with in regards to availability effecting consumption. I've always lived in New England where heroin saturates the drug market and methamphetamine is scarce.

But on the flip side, I've used amphetamines in the past, mostly for utility but also sometimes recreationally. Over the years I began to just hate the inevitable "crash" and now that I'm a little bit older older and more experienced and don't desire amphetamines at all.

I would still use them to get stuff done for my job, but recreationally, I wouldn't . But, I've never used methamphetamine before so I haven't the experience of the suped up version to make a statement.
