(Posted by: joshy on 2008-11-15 13:02:15)

Please take the time to read and give your advice or input its greatly appreciated and i really need it. was i stupid for doing meth? very. regret it? yes. addicted? not even. i feel like i have to share this with someone; and im ashamed to talk to my parents, friends, etc. so please take the time to read and try and give some adivce. its greatly apperciated by the way im 16 turning 17 in one week well this is my story. i first tried crystal meth about 2 years ago. i decided to start one time because i was a big guy and i had heard that it helps u loose weight when you smoke it, so i decided to try it. after my first time i didnt do it again till months after. again my 2nd time i didnt do it again till months later.. well straight to tha point; i did it about 5 times in a year, then didnt touch it again till a week ago time had passed.. and well a week ago me and my friends got together for a smoke out session (weed session) a week ago, and my friend brought crystal along. so we did it. after that we sold the weed and bought an 80 of crystal for four people and we did it- that was on friday 11/ 7/ 08. after that i bought a 20 for me and two friends on tuesday 11/ 11/ 08. again this friday(yesterday) we did it again. right now im still high on it with no type of hunger and about 4hrs of sleep. like i said im not addicted at all. i can live with out drugs i dont need them to survive nothing like that. the reason i think im not addicted is because i have a strong mind. i always take charge of whatever it is im doing, from school to my job to my personal goals and etc. now i want to know if im damaged badly in any kind of way from the times i abused crystal meth? and does crystal meth really help you loose weight? if yes how much? and how? also should i force myself to eat just a little bit, so i wont have a headache? and well to the ones that took the time to read and give me some advice or your input- positive or negative, thank you very much

You're probably fine just quit doing it!

STOP using it you are going to ruin your life. Find something else to be addicted to like masterbating. Trust me it really works. Think about where all that money is going. You can buy something else with the money your wasting in inconsiderate drugs.

Sure if you dont eat for a long time you will loose weight but your body will go into stravation mode and when you eat again it will like store it as fat and your meltabilism will slow down and drugs like meth are very damaging try googling the effects and you will find many websites good luck and i am sure i can say on behalf of your family please stop hurting your self

This is really a very hard question to answer. You are very young so the damage I would think...not know..is very little. I think perhaps you should stop the meth altogether. I do not see the harm in weed. I am old enough to be your mom and I have smoked weed on and off since I was your age and it never became an issue of interfering with my life. It is the fine line that defines an addict and a once in a while user. The more you use the more likely you will become addicted. I would stop now and take some time to think about what I said. Hope this helps.

You should stop before you do get addicted. Also, you should confess to someone that you did meth or you'll go crazy holding it inside

You need to stop doing meth and selling it you are destroying others along with you when you sell it. Just because youre friends do it does not mean you have to. You are addicted you just dont want to believe it if you dont need drugs then why are you doing them. Also I have never heard that meth helps you loose weight even if it did their are alot of other healthier ways to do it like excersizing and eating right. By doing meth you have just killed a bunch of your brain cells so thats how your damaged. You need to talk to your parents and get checked by a doctor to see if you need rehab otherwise when your older you will have no wife, family, job, car, friends, or house and will be locked behind bars Meth Is illegal! So stop doing and selling it!!!

You probably haven't damaged yourself yet but you could be on the way, and if you have an underlying psychological disorder it could make it worse. It's no way to lose weight because it's tampering with the chemistry of the mind, and the mind is who you are, your individual identity. Go visit a mental health clinic where drug addicts are ordered by court to attend therapy (or go to jail). Most of those guys will say the same stuff you're saying, about being able to quit at any time, not needing the stuff, etc. But, it's self-deceit. I work with these people, and I am not especially anti-drug, but addiction is terrible, terrible thing, and you should not risk it with crystal meth or any other addictive drug. Addictions literally ruins lives. I've looked into the eyes of a 60 year old guy whose kids and grandkids disowned him and who can't get a job because he has a criminal record and saw a life in tatters from drug addiction.

You're not addicted now, but you are setting yourself up to be. you may think you are "strong " enough mentally to not get addicted, but you are lying to yourself. addiction is a disease of the mind--you get attached to the act of buying the drug, cooking the drug, doing the drug, the socialization that goes along with being addicted to the drug--you're not addicted to just the substance, but all these other things, too. that makes it hard to give up, mentally. and then there are the physical aspects of meth use--the destruction of lung and brain tissue, the oxygen deprivation of cells, the risk of seizure, stroke, heart attack, liver damage, not to mention the risk of burns from smoking it. why would you damage your body and your mind just to lose weight? the whole point of losing weight is to get healthier, right? again, you are setting yourself up for addiction here. stop using meth now and save yourself the damage--to your body, your life, your mind--not to mention your family and friends!

Crystal methamphetamine can be very damaging to your body. It can really mess you up. And you might have a strong mind but, meth will make you stupid. You could get addicted really fast. I'm not sure if meth helps you lose weight, but it's not worth it if it does. Go to google and type in meth before and after and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Well i use to addicted to meth about 3 years ago I was on it for about 2 years straight not sleeping for like a week at a time and after that long you start hallucenating doing dumb stuff like like seeing little people stealing flowers out of my neighbors yard, thinking I saw them stealing a mans tires off of his truck to where I called the police 3 times in one night and almost went to jail and almost lost my children I ended up losing my home and everything. I traded everything i owned that was valueable for meth it is an evil drug and you will lose weight on it and if you eat when your on meth you could get sick to your stomach and dont binch eat when you come down just snack. It will take a toll on your body and make you age faster and make u look drawn in. but when i did meth it was red phosapherise and anhydris and we smoked it on foil Just be careful

No you're not damaged, asides from possible lung damage from smoking the sh*t. it can help you loose weight, but that's more on account of you dont eat, and dont sleep, so your body is constantly burning energy without taking any in. eating is always a good idea.

Look to natural, not chemical (including diet pills) ways to lose weight! Although your mind is strong, you don't want to mess around with any kind of drug to lose weight! You might want to leave the weed alone too! Add water, fruits and vegetables to your diet! You'll lose weight for sure! I lost about 40 pounds doing that (it took a few months). I've been maintaining my weight ever since and I eat normally! Never lose weight too fast because that's dangerous too! You may not be addicted to crystal meth, but that doesn't mean it can't kill you! Like any drug I'm sure it can weaken your heart and anything you smoke can affect your lungs in a negative way overtime! Just because you can't get cancer from it, doesn't mean it can't cause your lungs to collapse! If you're high from weed already and you're judgment is off, you could overdose! You might want to check out a rehab just to make sure you don't become dependent on any kind of drugs later on in life! Good luck!

Any drug use can do damage to your internal organs, especially your brain. The best thing is just not to do the drugs at all. The trick to losing weight is to burn more calories than you consume. You know, that stuff you've always heard about proper diet and exercise. That's not to say it's easy to lose weight. Usually it's just the opposite. Why are you ashamed to tell your parents? What about a support group or counselor? Even those with a strong mind need someone they trust that they can talk to.

Hi, I hope you don't find it offensive what I type to you today, as I only know about crystal meth from those who were relatives and friends that I've known. I can honestly say, for most of them it took only 1 time in using crystal meth that they were hooked. And everyone of them said the same thing you're saying, "they are in control and they can stop anytime. " Sadly, they stopped and started again, all the time. Crystal Meth is a powerful drug. If you don't know much about the drug itself and what it can do to harm your body, you should read up about the drug. My cousins often called meth as as a "mix of laundry cleaner and lighter fluid sizzling their brains. " I had 1 cousin die from crystal meth and another cousin now in prison for 15 years for drug related crimes. I didn't know these cousins much at all, but you know how stories of relatives can get around. For my one cousin, he became filled with anxiety, emotional swings, and paranoia that at night time he would walk up and down on top of their roof with a loaded gun and hiding in the attic pearing out the shutters for hours at a time. My other cousin was kidnapped by a drug cartel and forced to bake the drug while his girl friend was being repeatedly raped. Later, they stabbed my cousin 17 times killing him and buried him in a 2 foot grave. He left behind a family and his daughter along with his girl friend in shock for many months. I've known others who tried crystal meth to lose weight. They were co-workers. There were 3 women, all beautiful like models, and over a course of 1 year, each of them lost their entire shape that they looked like dudes with their faces shallow-like, their teeth rotten and they all lost their jobs and eventually their homes, husbands and custody of their children. I cannot stress enough to you to stop now and to never, ever, try this drug, or any drug, again. Crystal Meth is so psychologically powerful and addicting that even though you say you can quit, traces of the drug are wanting your body to try it again, and again. Whatever it takes, whatever strength you have inside you, be smart as the drug your taking is not just destroying your own life, but it will eventually destroy the lives of those who love you, your mom and dad, your friends. You are smart to reach out and ask others about this drug. Continue to ask others. Try to find some good online support groups. Don't be a victim of this drug. Be your own man and walk away from it now while you can. I wish you well, bro.

It does damage you especially since you are so young. it doesn't help you loose wight at all. you may not be addicted yet, but the more you use it, the more dependent you will be on it. you need to not use it.

Posted by: newmama7305 on 2008-11-15, 23:42:55

Well, i am going to be totally honest, i was 15 the first time i ever tried it and loved it! did it for about a year everyday. then one day when i was coming down i really started to think of where i was going. did i want to end up like some family members i have?? no way! i quit and have never looked back. it did help me lose weight but wasnt worth it the second i stopped i gained it all back and then some. long term damage? only to my teeth and if you ever see a dentist bill you know that isnt good!! from experience i would say your are better off without it! eat in moderation and work out you will be just fine! BTW i am now 20 working full time married with 2 beautiful kids! dont let drugs mess your life up cuz no matter how much you think you are in control, you wont be if you keep using!

Look at what you yourself wrote here. You weren't really using it, but recently you have used quite a bit. Meth is extremely addicting. I work in corrections and have seen the damage it can do, like many of the other people on here have explained to you. What I would like to tell you is something that will hit closer to home. My roommate's high school boyfriend was killed at 20 years old because of meth. He was shot at point blank range because a girl who was high on meth believed he had the keys to a car she stole. What an unfortunate reason to die. Please stop using before its too late...you're too young to give up your life to this terrible drug. Look up faces of meth.com, maybe that will deter you from it. Better this than a real life experience like i've listed above and some here have told you about. Live your life, don't throw it away. My clients would tell you the same thing. They're miserable and locked up now, away from their families and freinds. Don't end up like them.
