How is it that you hold it all together, My husband of 36 years has been smoking meth for over 7years. I just recently discovered it He is now gone Due to my job. His family does not see this, and won't believe it All th hey see is that he's always busy with someone else's work,like working on people house or yard. Where he's staying. But has not worked his normal job in almost a year??? They don't get it. And don't believe me or my grown children. I have hired a PI and they still don't believe it. He denies everything. He's living two separate lives. I can't deal with this anymore. He has walked away from a loving family and grandchildren, to live the life of an addict. So sad. I'm broken,torn n betrayed,

Dear Stuck, feel you. I feel the same way is like I was reading my own feelings and thoughts in your post.... Inside my heart I want to quit so, so bad too but I feel my mentality is too weak . I feel like I'll rather just take my life than put up with the withdrawal symptoms and recovery process, with the realty of my life, cope with my pain I have kept inside from childhood memories that I want to forget, forget how meth has destroyed my life like it has done it to every meth user ( if not yet it will sooner or later ) . I lost my house, my job, my husband, my friends, my sanity, my soul, my family, my health, my brain.. it breaks my heart that I still choose this evil drug over my family, over my health...I remember how happier I used to be and now I feel worthless, like I'm just a dead shell..no feelings, no nothing..only feel happy when I'm about to hit the pipe cuz I know is gana give me that rush that we seek so much making us think is going to fix everything all of our problems when in reality it pushes us deeper to the black hole we already in. I want to be the person I used to be, I want to be happy , I want ME back.... My real ME, it took the beutiful person away from her family and friends. From her happyness....I already suffered depression and social anxiety before starting my drug use..it runs in the family.. So imagine how is trying to quit for me..and all of us. I tryed to stay sober for 2 months but it got so bad that I couldn't even go out from my own room my panic attacks were so bad, started planning my suicide, I even started searching the internet for ways to die in a fast, painless way...which it freaked me out cuz I had never had gone that far to search for ways to die.. I felt like I was loosing realty, couldn't hold on a conversation, couldn't focus, couldnt even make a simple phone call..cryed for everything, thought everyone was against me, so angry about everything and nothing at the same time...it was hell, even antidepressents wouldn't work.. I Finally gave in and I relapsed 2weeks ago. I ask my self the same question will I ever be at least close to normal again? How I wish I had never done this drug. God plz I ask you to help us overcome this drug...to help us be strong...I share this in hopes to keep people from using meth and realize how devastating effects it has, even if you tried it a few times plz stop is not worth it. Is better now that later when is too late and much harder to quit, when the damage has been too much. A User for 8 yrs thought I had the bull by the horns it turn out he had me all this time, and not just by the horns but all of me. The sad part is it blinds us to think we like it, when we dont.. God bless u all.

My 15 year old daughter picked up for the first time monday night after running away from a foster home. She will be coming home to me soon. she used from lated Monday night until she ran to her foster mothers porch yesterday late afternoon early evening. I am scared to death. She has never used anything before this. She is now in a behavioral unit. Any advice for me? I know I need to pray, be there and tough love and all that. But is there anything I can do as a mother now to help prevent future use? My daughter is way above average in school, and i would say a little too smart for her own good!!! (or mine)..

I smoked ice everyday for 1 year and 4 months to forget everything, I stopped working, I got evicted from my apartment because I couldn't afford to pay my rent, I sold my car to keep up with my drug addiction etc. In other words my life went downhill from smoking ice. I decided to stop smoking cigarettes and methamphetamine and go cold turkey a month ago today and even though I have had good days and bad days it was the best decision i ever made 😊

My boyfriend still smokes ice everyday and honestly speaking i haven't been tempted to go back to the old me. It's mind over matter.

When I was reading your story It was like I was reading about myself. I hate this drug. Over 10 years. Lost wife, kids, job, all my friends, lies, solitude, stealing from family. Why do I keep going back. It's all I have.

KIm, its like YOKO said, you have to really want that nightmare to end. I did like Yoko and stopped cold turkey, but I had to reach deep down inside and realize that I wanted to live. Its not easy for anybody, but you can do it. You may need to check in a hospital just to break the cycle.Think about how good it felt to be clean and how much you want to get back to continuing month 29 on out. Look at that precious baby and know you can't give her 100% while using. We said we stopped cold turkey, but that doesn't mean it only took one time using. Having the attitude that this is not okay is the RIGHT attitude to keep. Everyday tell yourself "this is it". Say it ever time you use. Go and read the 5 ways to get of of meth and do that too. It's a fight that I want you to win. Come back and say that you did it. I pray for you Kim, Yoko, Sarasue and Stuck. I am grateful to the others that encourage you all. At least you came here to vent and be honest. Can't wait to read how happy you are sober and living. Don't continue to break your body down and burn your brain up. Figure out what you are going to do to stop and do it!! You are still on this side of the grass so it is not to late! God help them.

i started doing meth with my mom at 13 yrs old. i gave birth to my first child at 19 and when her father went to prison i started using very heavily. i didnt even realize that i was bad off until dfcs came in and took my child from me. i lost full custody of her and thats when i realized what hell really was. i just wanted to die everyday that i wasnt with her. theres not enough drugs in the world to numb that kind of pain. i went to rehab and worked very hard and got full custody back. i was completely sober for 28 months and was doing really great. graduated school and recently bought a house. i relapsed 3 mnths ago and im terrified of losing everything again. i take care of everybody and everything but myself at this point. i dont do much but i do it alot. i try to quit every week but literally my body cant stay awake and i sleep every nite on it.i kno if i can just get thru the detox process then ill be fine but my body has become accustom to it waking me up in the morning...like coffee..any suggestions? ive came too far...i dont want 2 go backwards!!!!!

I want to quit. I was dealing it and smoking it fulltime for 5 years. I was going out with a very well known dealer then parted ways got up on my own 2 feet and learnt everything from him and pushed it myself. It took everything from me. But I still Want to go back to it even though I hate it. Life is like a plain piece of white a4 paper clean but when I get cooked and start rushin around the paper is colored. I know
It's bad and I hate it but what I hate more is
Knowing its bad knowing I hate it and wanting
To stop but life is so shit without it at the same time so I want it. It's been a month and I relapsed 2 nights ago. Now I'm struggling again. Back at square
1. I don't get physical pain like I did when first stopped.. But life's so beautiful but I just can't see it anymore. I can't see myself enjoying anything again without it. I'm not proud of it, I want to get off it so badly and be the good person I am clean but I'm just so fucking depressed off it and in a constant war with myself everyday. I don't no if I will ever be normal again or if I will ever be able to be happy off it. I'm not happy on it, but I'm not happy off it either. Sounds conflicting and probably makes NO sense I know I've probably lost it already. Heroin addicts get methadone. I got Valium from my doctor but still doesn't cut it. I wish I could do it on my own terms but
Mentally Im to weak

I am 29 years old married with four kids. I met my husband 7 years ago. I had a lil girl and so did he . We both had an addiction to meth and still do. The only time we have ever quit is when I was pregnant twice. My family doesn't know well one sister does but hell she does the crap to. My mom and other sister haave no clue or they pretend not to knowim notsure wich one. This drug rules our live . We spend over 300 a week on it. Now don't think I am an awful mother because I am not . My kids have no clue and I hope they never will. And they are all spoiled rotten and not mistreated in any way. They mean the world to me and they are why I cry every night. Why I can't look aat myself in the mirror. Please somone tell me how I no we can quit together. We love each other very much would never even think about splitting up. He works very hard and supports his family. But also supports our habit. We do this drug every single day. We sleep we eat we do normal fanily things but the the dope is always there with us no matter what. I am disgusted with myself. Help me please and tell me how can I do this . I don't even want to get up in the morning without it. How will I take care of my family. How can I make myself get up and act normal when I can't even open my eyes. Its not like I can go off to rehab and leave my babies that is out of the question. Tell me what I can do to help myself please .

this site is wonderful. I am so lost so ashamed so hooked. I am a wife mother a hard worker and used to be full of natural energy. A friend asked if i wanted to try something....sure why not. I remember thinking i found my best friend. I dont do alot but I do it way to much. I lost a tons of weight...size 8 to size 3. I do it cause I cope instead of handle life when not on it i am just tired and that wasnt even me before. What do i do.

I have never commented on anyones writing and I want to say is that you have given me hope I have been taking this drugs for 6 months now and I didn't even notice that time had gone by me now I want it to be over I want to quit I don't want to wait till its do late. I want to quit now I feel sick to my stomach, I feel scared, and depressed I wonder if I can ever be normal again. But you give me hope that soon all this will go away.
