Meth Addict

meth addict - Important information about crystal meth, the effects of crystal meth and crystal meth addiction.

I used to be a meth addict...?
i was a tweaker for about 5 years... i have been clean for over 2 years now yay and i was wondering... how come i never got any of those sores like the tweakers they expose on tv? i obviously lost 40 pounds and acted so stupid, i quit school, los A LOT of my memory and lost most of my friends... but why did i never get those sores? was i just lucky? i used to do about $60 worth a day. and i trained my mind to think of tweak as something nasty... but lately i have been sort of craving it... my boyfriend makes sure that i stay healthy and that i stay on track... i never went to rehab... i just quit on my own. what should i do to stop craving it? i know i'm definitely NOT gonna do that nasty shit again... but i don't want to think about it

Can anyone PERMANENTLY recover from being a meth addict?
can anyone actually PERMANENTLY recover from meth? Because i have not seen it once, my uncle and two aunts and sister and cousin are so bad on it, my uncle went to prison for 8 years for having a meth lab and he is using now more then ever. As for my two aunts, they have been in prison for 10 years and they go right back to it once they get out. My sister has been to rehab twice and even got clean for 4 years but is on it again. My cousin now has Hepatitus C from a bad drug needle & has life in prison and is dying in the jail hospital because he would not give up the drug. WHY do they keep doing this? If they get clean why do they always go right back to it? I no longer believe there is such thing as an ex meth addict. Ive seen alcoholics and other drug addicts overcome their addiction, but not meth. Why is this?

I am a recovered meth addict . I used 'without intervention for 25 years. I wish to use this negaeive experience in a positive way, but I don't know how Enlighten me I was never arrested, therefore never received any intervention, but God's It doesn't matter how long I have been clean 6mos . I know in my heart it is gone and I have all the resistance, if I need it, through Him What a truly wonderful feeling that is and I am oh so thankful Praise GodI wish to thank everyone for responding so positively to my question. I appreciate your answers more than you could know Since I was not ever arrested or voluntarily admitted to a program, I have no connections with society on these matters. It was only through God that I received intervention. How would I approach them, if they would not think me crazy?

Need help with meth addict?
Hello Im posting this question up because I need serious help with my uncle who is a meth addict. First of all he used to be a great person used to work, everything was going good for him. But he started doing meth crystal and all of a sudden he turned into an asshole stoped working etc. Well my mom and my dad want to get him of that stuff but he just wont budge. My dad sometimes even beats him up which is really sad but he still doesnt understand. My dad doesnt even want to look at him but he is still at our house because my mom doesnt want him to live in the streets. I think his problem is really seriuos he talks by himself and even fights with himself verbally. My mom wants to send him to rehab but we can't afford it and Im wondering if you guys could help me out on how to solve this problem. Extra info about him he is 30,he isnt a citizen, im not sure what else....Hopefully someone could help me out, would really appreciate it thanks.

How safe are child around a meth addicted that is trying to recover?


Why do meth addicts steal the most useless things?
When i use to hang out with my older sister before she got too strung out on meth i noticed her and her other meth addict friends would steal the most POINTLESS things. I know you shouldnt steal regardless but what was their purpose? They would steal old christmas cards & ribbons and just stuff that made no sense. How would this benefit them any? I could understand them stealing money for drugs but cards and bobby pins?? And do ALL meth addicts steal anything they can get their hands on even if its pointless?

Is there any way to help a meth addict of over 25 years?
My mom is getting worse and worse everyday. She stays up all night, sometimes for days, and then will sleep for 2 days straight. Her skin is getting worse, she doesn't even give time for her scabs to heal before she makes more. 3 of her kids have been taken away from her, and yet she still won't stop. I'm so scared that my mom won't be around in a couple of years. I need her, she's the only person i can tell anything to, and yet i watch her get closer to death everyday. She's told me that she's too far gone to get help, is this true?

Meth Addicts/Tweakers?
My sister has introduced me to her " friends" which are meth heads. One of them has little cameras hidden in his house where he can watch everyone. And he duct taped his laptop because he thought the government was watching him though his screen. She called me over to his house to watch him because she was worried about him and when i went there i found him in his room sweating and holding onto his gun and crying because he heard a helicopter and said its the government coming to kill him because of some videos he posted from youtube about them. He's the most paranoid person ive ever even heard of and he claims to be God. Why in the world does he act like this?? All other meth heads steal and lie and pawn all their stuff for meth and use their family, but he is beyond any on the meth addict cases ive ever seen. I heard he already has a schitzophrenic imbalance. But his behavior is ridiculous and he only acts like that when hes on meth. Once i found an electronic micro bug in my purse where he put it in there to listen to everything i say while im gone.
