Hey everyone first I will write a little bit about me and if you want you can skip that and goto the very end for the basic Question. Im looking for people who have actually had an addition to crystal meth and not people who think they understand what or how it feels (because you don't) As well im aware of what it does to your body and how horrible it is.

Personal Life:
Im a 25 year old male who has been doing club drugs since about 18. I have always liked to party but I did it responsibly. I went to the gym 5 times a week and I looked and felt great., I was very popular with people. I loved to go out with friends and was always very social (with drugs) I have had problems with anxeity and stuff before but I have always managed it ok. I guess my life was ok until I started using meth.

Now after using meth for a few months. I have lost my job, I no longer goto the gym. I look and feel horrible and like I want to die. I have hardly any friends left, and no family. Im sick with MRSA and have sores all over my body. Ive lost about 15 lbs of muscle so far. I never leave my apartment to go out anymore. I dont want to do anything but cyrstal now. I make up excuses to avoid people and stuff. I have been smoking meth for over two weeks now , everyday. I dont sleep for about four days then I start to feel like im going insane. I have hulicinated before seeing people that were not even there. To sleep I use Xanax. If i dont have xanax I get nervous big time, and will take two viles of GHB (Liquid not prescription) and overdose myself until I go unconcious. I sometimes go all day without eating. I try to drink lots of healthy shakes as a last attempt to eat. I havnt smiled since the day I started and I know what it does to you I guess what im looking for is more support or help from others.

QUESTION

Are there some good ways or tips that personally worked for you in detoxing from meth. I dont think that I can do group because Im to nervous to be around that many people. Im trying to gradually cut down on the amount im intaking and also switching to snorting instead of smoking to make things a little better. If you have a success story , I would love to hear how you quit and for how long. Also how do you feel now ? Tell me everything. I guess im doing this as a support treatment for me. Everyday feels like I have hit rock bottom and nothing can get any worse until I wake up the next day and cant deal with the pain and smoke tina again. The more upset Im getting the more im doing.

Thank you for all your help and support.

Hey brodio,

i feel your pain. ive been a meth user since i was 14 and im now 20. ive tried to quit several times thru out the years. i was in rehab at 15 for a year and it was a live in. here is my success story: ive been clean now for about 2 months i know it sounds like nothing but when your a tweaker its longer then you know. lol. before i would quit for like a week and then want it again, and do the whole cycle all over and trust me i think every one who has done it feels great at first but then wants to die, or cant stop thiking about all the negatives. The only reason why iam clean is because i recently got married to my long time bf who also uses meth. he joined the military because he had no motivation to do anything besides use meth. he has been in now for a year and hes a whole different person. while he was in the navy i was still living in cali and useing meth everyday, which is normal for me, but i made the decision to move to virginia with him so i could get away from it. i knew that moving entirely away from the scene would be the only way i would be able to stop. ive had counseling treatment centers, rehab, all of that. only u and yourself can change you addiction. you have to want it more then anyone. and thats the only way you will completly stop. i wont lie even though i havent done it for a while i really want to do it and im pissed that i cant get it. but the best thing was moving because if i was at home in california i would tweaking right now. i suggest you move from where you are and just have time to yourself so you can think about the person u want to be. KeeP US UPDATED! your giving people like us hope, and even thought your asking people for help, your acyually helping people like me too

Hello Bro:

I put my pipes on the ground and smashed them, and never did it again. I didn't slow down. I stopped! Ultimately, it's going to be that way for you. You can do it with lots of people supporting you (which I don't think works), or you can just do it quietly, by yourself. In the final anylsis, it's just YOU and the drug.

I think an in house program would work for you.
Who is buying your drugs?
It sounds as if you need new friends and a new life. I don't think you could do this as an out patient or without help from some one rather than your friends. You need professional help.
