kicking meth

i guess i had a flipping mental breakdown last nite. i've tried to kick crank 3 times now, and each time i went back at it.
last nite, after being with people who i thought were my best friends (do not use meth), just turned on me. i dunno.
I've lost so many friends. I feel as if i live in such a fake world, but in reality, i know i'm the problem, not everyone else.
I broke my pipe, dumped an 8-ball of quality crystal, and burned 250$ of 'dirty money'.
As i was driving home, i started laughing hysterically. It was the best high in the world. I felt so released. I'm through, i finally appreciate the value of life, and realize how much my drug abuse was hurting me and everyone around me. Over time i hope i'm a happier person.
My question is, will things ever be back to the way they were before meth? I remember reading someone say something like "have you ever met a ex-hardcore meth addict who is now successful in life?" I have a lot going for me. I'm graduating high school this year, going to UC Riverside next year, gonna study economics. Meth in Riverside is big, its gonna be tough.
I guess i never really knew how must i lost when all i wanted was someone to talk to, a friend, a family member, just ANYONE to turn to. I didn't even have that...
Not one friend i could count on. I can't talk to my parents. Nobody.
Another person on this board wrote "meth = natural selection"
I guess it's true. Those who are not fit enough to NOT smoke meth, will die.
In a way, if i touch the drug again, i HOPE i turn into a lifeless soul. A drug addict who will die on the streets. After all, i would deserve it.
If you're smoking meth, think about this. Addiction isn't always "I MUST HAVE IT." Sometimes, it's as mellow as "i really like it."
Remember, nobody in the world can ever force someone else to quit a drug. No matter how much they try to stop the drug user, they can't, unless THEY want to stop for themselves.
 
hey peymon,
I feel a little shitty that I just posted a message on how to determine good meth by physical charecteristics at almost the exact same time. It must be discouraging to to be in your situation looking for some help and the first thing you see on the board isn't a response but a post about ways I figure out how to fuck myself up better.
Although I have never been addicted to anything I have had drugs fuck up my life incredibly. LSD permanently fucked up my brain when I was 15 years old. I'm 22 now and I've never been the same. Addictions and psychological problems are in two different realms but I know how they both can fuck up everything around you. Keep your head up. YOu are definetly stronger than the shit. If you're looking to talk to somebody about meth addiction talk to Phreex (I don't know if he is that positive of a role model or a "success story" for that matter but he does seem to be a pretty mentally intact, intelligent person even after addiction.) or other people on this board (Maybe on the Dark Side.)
Your right about "you" being the only person who can stop addiction, but don't give up on others if your looking for help. Call those drug addiciton/mental health help lines. 1 out of 5 times you'll actually find somebody with out a speech impediment and an IQ higher than 100. Sometimes they can actually help. Many other things can help. If you want to e-mail. I may have some suggestions. [email protected].
Stay positive.
 
Well the post I did up there really didn't make much sense and is pretty out context in reply to your post. I realized that after reading your post again. I seamed to have missed the paragraph about your realization and how your through with meth. Anyways, I'm going to stop writing because I might get flamed (oh no!) and busted on because I'm a greenlighter.
 
Honestly, after meth your life is never as good as it was when you were tweaking - I don't think the meth "damages" you, but I think it enables people to wake up and realize that a sober life sucks, and that half their brain was never even turned on.. The hardest part with meth addiction was the cravings - yeah, the physical withdrawal was pure and complete hell, and had I not sold my piece (thats how "those people" in the ghetto refer to their firearms) for meth, I probably would have killed myself and taken a bunch of people down with me.. but it was those weeks and even months after my last use that I had to use every bit of willpower I had to keep from getting back on the shit..
My advice is to taper off, or reward yourself every now and then.. I know they say these crazy things like "once your an addict you can never you again or you will fall right back to where you left off" - thats mot true! When I would go for a week without using, I would then dedicate a good weekend to meth.. stop for 2 weeks, and again, a weekend of meth.. this does take more willpower then just staying sober, but I also feel it is more rewarding...
Still, I force myself to get out of bed and always think how much better every aspect of life would be with meth..
