I have been trying to stay sober off of crystal meth for 11 years now. I had almost gotten to the point where I was simply going to give in and let the pipe take me. I have lost everything valuable to me in life (relationships, careers, houses, cars, friends). This drug is evil and it will not stop until it destroys you. I have recently found SMART recovery. It is a secular, science based cognitive approach teaching how to resisting the cravings and learn how not to act out on the behavior that leads back to the destruction. It is not a 12 step, higher power based approach, but a more practical self-empowering venue. I hope this works. If not, meth is going to take me out.
