I have a fair few clean friends, and even some user friends I know wouldn't tempt me and wouldn't use in front of me once I quit, so it's all good :)

good! this is the case with me too - my best friend is a meth addict.....shed never let me near her gear (too precious to her anyway ;))
as for the bfs - yes, raging libido......but didnt u find that....well me personally, i was a slut on meth but all my multiple bfs never seemed to b able to well get it up on the stuff
that or theyd go limp inside me
it was goddamn frustrating
P-cock, i called it
 
OHH hell yeah it was annoying as a motherfker especially considerin on the meth u want it a hundred times worse and then u jst get pissed off and have another pipe, lmao

good thing your best friend wont let u near it :) i'm very sure mine wouldn't either once im off it, even if i begged!
 
i know that feeling all too well
just remember im always here to talk if it gets too much - if u PM me i can even give u my cell number
i dont care if u txt/ring me in the middle of the fucking night, my suggestion is do so before picking up the pipe!
thats wat my friend tereza told me to do wen i was cleaning up (shes never touched meth) - and i made use of her offer
dont feel ur putting me out in any way
hell id rather convince u (or try my hardest) to stay off that pipe than see u back on it! esp wen ur so keen to get clean
throw out ur pipe too - hard i know....i didnt do it for a long time
strangely anough i forgot i had it cos id stashed it away where i cudnt see it and me and my mate millie were going thru some old horsey ribbons from wins and placings at shows in a shoebox id kept and next minute millie pulled out my old friend buried under all those ribbons and was like 'wtf r u still doing with one of these things?'
goddamn if she hadnt bn there and id bn going thru those ribbons by myself i doubt the pipe wud b smashed into smithereens and i doubt id b 14 months off meth
more proof to me theres a higher power watching over me tbh
 
thank-u very much i may hv 2 take u up on that offer, lol
yeah i will get rid of it no way wud i keep it, too tempting!
id take 1 look at it n go burn some which i dont want to do
jeez lucky your mate was there, its funny how something like that can make you relapse, just a little stimulus or anything!
shows how much control drugs can have over somebody even after so long.
do you still think about it all the time?
still crave etc?
 
yep, u hav to work out ur triggers early on in the piece - at first i cudnt even look at any crystalline substances like sugar or salt without intense craving
now its more like being around meth users, smelling it being cooked or the chemical smell on my brothers clothes (he smokes it), or negative emotions like hurt or anger
and yes, i do still think about it a lot of the time - probly as often as ur average guy thinks about sex.....
and yes i crave it too - but only under stressful situations
the further and further i get away from it the easier it gets
and the more strategies ive put in place for myself to deal with the cravings the safer i know i am
i still dont kid myself - relapse is always possible
 
yeah whenever I see sugar I automatically think of meth too, any sort of white crystals, like you.
I'm lucky I have very bad sense of smell, so I usually cannot smell it. Unless it had just been smoked, but unlikely I'll be around that.
I hope I am as successful as you at keeping it at bay..hmm
'cos I'm not kidding myself, it's going to haunt me for the rest of my life.
It will always be a little part of me, that I will never be able to 100% forget about.
But hopefully this will make me stronger, I can get my life back on track, go to University (which I never did obviously) and get a good job, in a few yrs start a family and not have to worry about this demon any longer.
 
im getting off this very soon, haven't set a date yet but got a doctor appointment next week getting a prescription for an alternative to meth

Claire, I'd be interested to know what they give you too. Just because I've spoken to my doctor about being pescribed dexamphetamine for meth addicition, she can definitely see the benefit in that, but it's absolutely not legal for that use. It has to be pescribed for ADHD or narcolepsy.
I know baclofen is sometimes used, and I did a trial using modafinal for meth withdrawal, but I think that's still at least a year away from being approved (if it is at all).

For me it's 7/11's or service stations that sell bags of frozen ice, seeing that sign - 'ice $3 a bag' - I wish!
 
coming up to around 2 months or so since i've injected any meth (around that time frame anyway, maybe once or twice in between). feels good man. though the cravings are still with me everyday. they tend to be exacerbated when im on benzos, like now. im itching for a hit but ive got the power to say no.

i have just got to say no to xanax and valium now. getting off the bupe is out of the question for some time.
 
u go gorgoroth! and happy bday mate!
claire - my best advice i can give u is try to forget the past and the future for now.....focus on one day at a time
leftwing - thats awesome! keep at it
unfortunately my valium makes me crave meth too - and unfortunately im on 40mg a day and i cant just....stop
i hate benzos - half the reason i cant take my ADHD meds and go to uni - in fact the whole reason
and footscrazy - haha wen i see the freezers at petrol stations saying party ice i always think 'helllll yea.....'

Yeah I'm interested too I duno whats legal and whats not, ahaha
ohhh yeah $3 party bags, whenever I see that I dream about it being $3 and that big, I think a lot of people would be drug addicts!
I still haven't quit - i'm waiting 'til I get medication for it.. 'cos no chance I'd be able to do it. Even a placebo would slightly help!
 
it is very discouraging to know theres nothing i can do to help.
shes not my sister, shes my mother.
i didnt want to say that, but its the truth... i just thought that if she quit for my sake once, she'd do it again if i found the right thing to say... she knows ill always be there for her, she gave me life, after all, im just trying to do the same for her.
this is the scariest thing ive ever been through, watching my own mother waste her body, her life, her mind on a drug. thanks for the support, anyway, and the insight.
i guess ill just keep trying, and hope for the best...
: (
 
oh lacie - thats awful
truly puts tears in my eyes, cos i know a few ppl whos parents r meth users
if u ever need to talk - or need some info on meth (u probly know heaps about it already) - even just to let it out, i am always here for support
as a greenlighter u cant PM bluelighters but u can PM mods (i am a mod)
claire, sadly they havnt really come up with a med for meth withdrawal yet
IME wen ur detoxed, they let u sleep off the crash then wen u wake ur given as much valium and antipsychotics as u need to calm the muscle spasms, irritability and paranoid feelings/psychosis
sometimes u need an antidepressant later on but they never give it to u over the first couple of weeks cos none of them go well with acute withdrawal
 
aww laciejae thats sad, i hope she is ok!
but its definitely not easy to get off, take it from me. my mum pleads with me to quit but no matter how much i love her i always find a reason not to or justify my use to her. for this reason she has pretty much cut me off. but dont lose hope, she will (hopefully) eventually come around.
best of luck with everything

Hahaha, im glad to see im not the only one who noticed that. Every single time we would go to 711 for lighters 8), seeing that big ice fridge in the car park would make me froth.
