Short term (2 week) meth user wants to take a break- how long?

[schwelly]

So I originally began using it for add and my grades have soared but I find myself taking more than what is needed for concentration lately- I have not been using long maybe two weeks- and I have slept every single night. But I want to take a break to keep any potential of addiction in check- AND to repair the brain a bit. For my ADD needs I am going to see a psych. How long do you all recommend for the above stated goals? I always used less than .45 of a g a day most days it was like maybe .2 throughout the day. Thank you


and if I ever use it for studying I will snort not smoke or even oral

Everyone is different so hard to say how long you should have a break from it. The best advice I can give you is leave it alone for good, once I was like you only using it every weekend or month and I swore I would never get addicted, nearly 8 years later I am still hooked. Hope you make the right choice

take a break from sumthin like this..first you have to have a very strong heart ,meaning can you cut all friends that use and you associate with? second keep yourself busy so you don't think about getting it.its a monkey on your back.I was addicted to coke n crack for awhile lost everything and everybody.went to rehab,they asked me what I was gonna do when I got outI said look for a job have my life back and go to the bar and have a drink those counselors unwound on me.my buddy chuck stood up.told those counselors Larry will go drink,have fun ,pick up a woman n go home.Larry is strong hearted and has faith..I stayed clean 5 yes.can't say that now,but reason I wrote this is let you know you can't flip a switch and quitlike I said up there you have to be strong take a break but be strong good luck
