  From my personal experience, my meth addiction started out as having a good time partying on the weekends. It didn't become a daily thing until I was told I needed to "step it up" at work. I started filling capsules with meth and popping them to keep up a busy pace. I was promoted because of my fats pace, but i became addicted to the drug. Eventually, I was smoking it in the bathroom and in the company vehicle. I had used drugs socially for 20 years. A little coke every now and then, ecstacy once in a while, but nothing had ever hooked me until meth. I do not feel that I had a disease or any of that B.S. I just made some dumb choices. Thankfully, my family noticed the massive weight loss, and strange hours i was keeping and got me into a program at Narconon (www.stopaddiction.com) and I've been clean for over a year. For me, the mental addiction was the hardest thing to beat, I had no physical withdrawal, I just had to relearn how to cope with the demands of a busy life. I don't even drink energy drinks now. The caffeine in Diet Coke is the strongest stimulant I use. This addiction can be beaten.

  "This is something I believe that some addicts don’t even realize that they are doing. Addiction actually makes a person believe they need it to survive. The physical and mental symptoms of withdrawal can be too hard to bare."
  ^^^^^^ theres alot of the reasons stated up there that are true along with this one accept for meth.
  the gateway drug is absolutly right I started smoking pot and about 3 yrs later a buddy of mine introuced me to Mr. Watson he was this lil white guy that when u swollowed it , it would give u this amazing high u could literally feel the high running threw u which leads me to agreeing with John Burket aswell I took opiots (hydrocodone,percocet,morphene,oxycontin) pretty much anything opiot based or similar to it.after about 3 yrs of taking those with no withdraws (thought I was ok cause no wthdraws) I was sittin at work in dead middle of a 80 degree summer day inside this auto lube shop by myself in a hoodie and heat on freezing to death ten it felt like someone was reaching into my back and just squeezing my kidneys with all the force they had...after 5 1\2 yrs of that tryed the methadone clinic they just kept me passed out most the day everyday uping my dose every week untill I got to 100MG of liquid methadone a day I decided it wasnt gonna help so I stopped going...well a friend of mine was cookin meth and I was always to scared to try it finally he offered me a gram free ofcourse since I trusted him I did Iwould saya half gram of it wit him but guess what no pain pill withdraws and I felt like I had had a fantastic night sleep well....I found mysel going back 2 days later buying a half gram off him...swore I would never get to deep cause I had seen what it does....well a yr went by and I was packing a bowl and setting it to the side then I would lay out a 6 inch line do it wait a sec for the burn to go away then smoke the bowl then I learned about capsules so I would go to the hospital get antibiotics perscribed and empty em all b4 I got home and had em filled so "nobody would notice" well my cookin buddy went to prison (got busted 5 times in 6 months for theft of annhydros) by that time I had no money my fiancee had left me took the kids 45 min away to her mom's I had no drivers license because I didnt pay the tickets I got riding around gettin high so was stuck I went and as u stated in another post started smurfing me and 2 others and was on probation at that for possession of weed well it got to the point where no matter what I did smoking snorting capsules nuttin wouldnt get me off and I HATE NEEDLES! so I did what I had left 1\4 gram I think and stopped only thing I do now is smoke cigs been bout 9 months and the only problem I had was that fact I was exhausted where I had been wide open so long and was back to reality...comparing opiots and meth I would say piots was the harder of the 2 I once sweat threw a queen size matteress withdrawing from opiots....I know this is long and the funny thing is this whole story is in a 6 yr period of my life I a 25 yrs old and I am currently married to the woman who left me and I got my family they say u dont know what u got till its gone they never lied between pillz and meth it had takin about 99.9% of my life and I dont regret it because I could have waited untill I was old enough by the time I quit meth i would have had heart problems anyway theresmy "opiniun"
