After getting extremely and I mean extremely paranoid last night at home like I have never befor and now because when I sleep there is no waking me up until my bodies ready people are starting to notice and ask questions and it’s affecting my personal
,home and social life.

Today I thought to myself “What do I actually do each day?”

& “What did I actually use to do”

I’ll eventually give more details of my story but right now I’m looking for directions to prepare to cut down or specifically quit crystal.

I couldn’t even tell you how much I use each week as I get “shouted” allot and I don’t have a routine.

I don’t think I was ever in control but I was using allot less than I am now and could say no even when my mate come over and smoked next to me.

I am not giving myself any unrealistic time frames or unrealistic exclusions but I am noticing and realising a change so I need to do something.

Thank you ?
 
just quit you'll be really hungry and sleep in a lot and it should go away within 1-7 days depending on how long you were doing it. If it was like, more than a year, then it could be a lot worse?

Others want to interject?

There's no physical withdrawal in my experience so you will not be in intense suffering; just a light malaise that might last a while if you can't snap out of it too well.

What ever you want to call it - people around here actually call it crack

Maybe it's Crank? Sorry to ask but I just thought Crack is specific to smokable rock cocaine made with baking soda.

Anyway expect no physical issues or withdrawal syndrome of any kind.
You will be depressed, will not want to do anything, sleep a lot, eat much more, feel tired easily, probably will not want to socialise at all as well.
Intensity and duration of this state will depend on duration of use and dosages ofocurse.
How did you take your Meth?
 
And you're trying to tell me to not use kratom? No offense pal but we need to help ourselves before we can try to help others, or do you see it differently?

It's natural to try to help other people even if we aren't in a position to. Not saying you are wrong for it.

I'd offer to help but I can't.

I can say I hope one day you get off crystal meth though.

Is socialise British? Just kidding/wondering sort of.

Anyways I want to add the longer you wait to stop, or the more you keep using regularly, the more difficult it will be to find contentment in day to day life and simple pleasures will just be killed until your reward system rewires. Is that how it goes? Am I saying it right?

Reboot your reward system before meth wreaks any more havoc.

Ever heard this Machine Head song? I don't know if it accurately represents your issue but meth is a disaster waiting to happen in my eyes.



 
"Socialise" is UK English, "Socialize" is rebel colonials slang.

relax professor! This is a recovery sub so it's only natural people will advise others here to get sober. I hope you don't take this personally, but Kratom users seem to me to be uniquely defensive about their DOC in a way that I don't observe with other addicts. Maybe because it is genuinely less destructive than harder drugs or perhaps because of the ongoing fight to stop it being banned? Whatever it is, it leads to people getting really touchy about it, denying its a drug and refusing to admit it can ever cause any kinds of problems. Don't take the guy's advice personally, he may be a meth addict but that doesn't mean he can't try and help others, you know? I'm sure he meant well.

anyway, it's also my understanding that quitting meth isn't too difficult, but I hear the cravings are brutal. You say you don't know what you fill your time with these days - do you have a job? A hobby?? What's your social circle like?? To resist the allure of crystal you are going to have to take steps towards filling your life with those things, and the honest truth is that for a long time you're going to have to battle daily with a voice reminding you that there's something far more exciting and pleasurable that you could do rather than the work of building a real life, but it will get easier to resist. Perseverance is key.

This is off topic and may be counter-productive, but I've been curious about this for a while. Here in the UK meth is very uncommon and practically unheard of outside some specific communities so I've never tried it (and never plan to), but I have extensive experience with crack cocaine. Does the meth rush feel better than a crack bell-ringer?

Meth is so much better/worse then crack..I quit crack. First try..I can't quit meth for more than a week.

so when you smoke meth, the rush itself is more intense than the rush of crack? if so, I'm really lucky I never got a chance to try it. crack cravings are bad enough!

The rush.i call it the kick..from meth is like comparing hitting a cigarette to a 50 rock of good butter..in my opinion.

For someone who has shot both, that's a big yes from me. Cocaine is rather unpleasant and renders vomiting/ringers with minimal pleasure and an intense desire to sit perfectly still for no particular reason. Meth is like a different ball game and I won't attempt to describe it. Yes be thankful you haven't tried it; if I had to guess there's like 1% who don't end up psychotic, addicted, or hyper-tolerant. The rest fall into those categories.
 
Thanks guys. Didn't mean to derail the thread. It's good to know there's a high out there I have yet to experience - I can save something for when I'm 80.
