morphius Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 Has anyone dealt with someone who is a meth addict or a recovering meth addict? Yup, me, been clean for 12 months now....
NTB Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 yeah, i'm dealing with one and i feel like knocking his head in with a bat
Author skeptik224 Posted February 22, 2006 Author Posted February 22, 2006 First off, congrats Morphius on being clean!! What a huge hurdle you've overcome, and I admire you for that. Can I ask what is was like for you both when you were on meth and then your recovery? Do you fight it every day? If it's too personal, let me know. I met someone who is supposedly in recovery and it has sparked major curiousity within me. NTB/Otter - is it someone close to you?
Fun2BMe Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 My sister has been clean for 10 months now. She emailed me yesterday saying it will be her 1 year anniversary in April. I think it is a big deal to her.
Guest Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 Has anyone dealt with someone who is a meth addict or a recovering meth addict? ahh, the meth addict, a dangerous creature, approach with caution! i have extensive experience with a meth addictbeing my partner - i used occassionaly - weekend use etc for about 3 years while at uni, then did not use for 2 years, no reason why i stopped just did, and honestly after 1 weeks sleep i was over it, i still wanted it but i decided no. keeping in mind that my partner was using big time still i have found the problem with meth is when it takes over their life, it becomes everything, i am a strong believer of everything in moderation, however people with addictive personalities this is not an option. i also believe the biggest problem with meth users is the lack of sleep - i have know people to be awake for 13 days without a wink of sleep. i have a theory that if these users slept a little bit everynight or second night then there may be some hope, but as one junkie said to me once (after i suggested he goes to sleep) but i have to star all over again, sleepins cheain' values, respect and moderaion is the key to happy life everyone has a drug of choice, yours might be coffee, ciggies, alcolhol others meth, smack etc
