i know i don't post here often....well, ever actually.
but i got to thinking about things today. i have been using meth since i was 18 and i'm getting ready to turn 25. i was clean for 15 months and back in december i relapsed.....hard......i'm still stuck.
tricky thing is, the method i use seems to make it that much more tempting and apparently that much harder to stay away from and successuflly quit.
it's a cunundrum in my book. everything in (my) life leads to dope, whether i want it to or not.
i guess i just needed to get this off my chest.
thanks to anyone that *listened*

" When it comes to meth, it is a hard addiction, and what ever method your doing, it really doesnt matter, as an addict, our bodies feel the need and our mind is altered by the craving, i hope all works out for you, i started at a very early age and finally kicked at age 32. My health was bad and i hit a bottom so hard that i now work a program to stay clean. It works for me, i hope you can find something to help you kick the habit before too late, take care "

" STAY STRONG You can do this. Keep a journal of how you feel each day and when you get a week behind you reward yourself with new clothes or something similar. Go to a therapist and get the right tools to help you.

It can be done, it is hard but you can do it. "

" i moved country!! I had the same type of life you describe-everything and every1 led around and back to dope-
iwas working for this asshole-and pinched 5grand-actually he left it in my co car i saw it and drove it all the way home-i did'nt steal it however i just did'nt return it-wodeva-
I got a ticket to sydney Australia- and just sat on the beach from december til march-swimming eating and pounding the AA meetings na meetings I stayed away from relapse prone members -got a little job doing gardens-just sat in meetings every night till I was nimb in the bum-
I had to get the fuck away from the active addicts i knew-As they keep coming over-I would try abstinence alone-I was'nt stronger than the drug-i came to see it was bigger than I waas-If I was to effectively abstain I needed a critical change- And although the cash was put in front of me -i knew it was meant to be!! open your heart and mind to "critical change"+-move house get outa town set up a connection with a 12 step fellowship-By the time I returned from Australia every1 i was involved with was and are still doing jail sentences-some hung themselves in psychiatric wards-,some are still using-2 of us are clean today-One in 500 people get to clean up and stay clean put your name on 1 of those that does make it!!!
"god-bless"-God works when you ask for the help-! "
