I'm looking for some honest to goodness "been down that road" recovered meth addict stories.

The internet is riddled with misleading, either biased completely one way or another information about Meth. I'm aware it is unfortunately currently demonized to the point of absurdity....to the point where many people think one time use is going to make them go insane or die on the spot.....and that lifestyle choices play a key role in the physical/ mental health of tweakers. All that said, its bad stuff hands down.

I just want to get better. I'm so sick and tired of the up and down, and the fucking GUILT that I feel every time I use this garbage. And tweakers are all too full of excuses and explanations about why its "not that bad" and blah blah blah.

Who has been down the meth road and taken a different route? Honestly the shit is barely even fun for me anymore, and I'm lucky that since December of last year my use has been GREATLY reduced to a few times a month at the most.

Who has seen through the illusion this drug creates? Who out there really, truly has completely put it down? Its very discouraging that I've not found any reliable info about this drug and some hopeful and shining bright stories of people who have thrown the shit into the gutter where it belongs, AND are better people for having gone through it.....
 
Me. Short story is.........I had a serious methamphetamine addiction, to the point where I spent everything on meth and was then selling it just to support my habit. I never mainlined it just smoked and snorted, eventually I got to around 4.5 grams a week. There came a time when I saw the people I was around and what it inevitably did to them. I realized one day I would be like them if I continued using meth. Mostly homless junkies with nothing to love in life besides their next dose.
So I sobered up it sucked for a while until my body recovered and got used to life without a massive amounts of stims. I have been sober for over 11 months and I'm never going back. RELATIVE SOBRIETY FOR LIFE. i:e pot, alcohol, tobacco, and psychadelics. I now have a steady job and make a decent living legally, and am working on my physical health. I'm 145 and can bench 205.
