I think we need a support group

for people trying to stay clean. yea it's damn hard, and yes there are resources out there but i think to have a support type group on these forums would be a great idea, to share your experiences and what you're going through right now..

i don't know, i was using meth for over a year and am trying to get myself off of it. and i don't have anyone to talk to really, anyone i want to talk to about. i've been clean for i think a month and i don't know how much longer i can go with out it. the cravings are insane and it's pretty much all i think about. everyday I can smell it and taste it and I just wanna kinda give in i guess. take the easy way out.

 

Wow that does sound unimaginably difficult

 

just say NO! you're stronger than that silly fucking chemical.

 

if u cant handle it,use other drugs to stave off the cravings
thats my theory man

 

Yes, just replace one drug by another (for all that just don´t get it: that was sarcasm!).
Best thing would be to look for a therapy as soon as possible. Second best would be to use an antidepressant (o.k., this is also a drug, but a much more controllable one), e.g. cipralex. You could also get some 5-HTP capsules (available almost everywhere on the internet) and take 50-200mg each day (5-HTP is a serotonin precursor, it should do almost the same effect in you serotonerg system than the meth did).

 

let's have a cma meeting - i'm gotenks and i'm a super sayin 3 drug addict!

seriously - if you think you have a problem, you should find 12-step meetings in your area.

 

This is why I say to myself "Ok, I probaly will try harder drugs in the future. So which ones do I want to try?".

Shrooms and Acid are the only ones I will ever try besides Marijuana (Which I love).
You should just keep busy and stay away from anything or anyone that has to do with meth. And just forget about it.

 

meth in my opinion is one of the worst drugs known to man. the shit is just so toxic its not even funny.the addiction is equal to or worse than crack and the way it keeps u awake for days on end will fuck u up mentally. most of the time there is chemicals like paint thinner mixed with it to give it a zap think about what that does to your nose, brain and every other part of your body it comes in contact with. this is not a psycoactive drug like psychadelics it is a raw and crude chemical that is extremely toxic.the eQuivalent of sniffing gasoline with a crack type addiction. ppl need to learn that there are drugs and there are chemicals thin line i know but just about any chemical will get u high if u eat enough of it but u wouldnt go eating uranium to get high now would u. not to mention the high isnt even that great no better than snorting a line of coke or taking adderall just more addictive and harmfual. also i just dont like being around tweakers they are erratic and constantly paranoid about shit one time i was chillin at this one kids house with a couple friends and he had been on this shit for a week and just out of nowhere he accuses me of stealing his stash and then he threatens to kill everyone in the house if he doesnt get it we all left right then and he found his dirty rat poison shit hidden under his bed where he put it. i have to commend u tho its probably the hardest thing in the world to stay off it once uve been addicted just keep staying clean it may not seem fun at the moment but it will pay off in the long run unless u want to be a slve to a chemical until u die a year from now. if i was u i would just smoke pot to help get u through the cravings its not addictive like meth is and wont cause the problems meth will dont try any other drugs like coke or x tho u will just end up addicted to some other shit substance . stay strong

peace

 

in the view of 12step programs, switching from one "mood altering substance" to another is considered wrong. However, i have heard of people who stop doing ice and just smoke mj every once in a while and they live excellent lives

 

Yea everytime I get real drunk I wake up with all these fat sacks of shit I'm like, wtf happened.

 

You all know there is a "Quitting Forum" in with the rest of the personal forums. At the moment its primarily about quitting smoking, but I am sure other forms of quitting would be welcomed with open arms

Quitting junk is hard. I used to use every day... every day. I lost a ton of weight (I was 5'9, with D cup breasts and weighed 109 pounds), I didn't sleep.. I was a freaking mess. I had started substance abuse at a young age, and it had been a cyclic thing.. 2 months using, then 6 months clean. Then it got out of hand, and I became a slave to anything and everything I could find. I liked the numb.

I got clean in the mental hospital... and then was put on "mental" drugs, to keep me at a level (no highs, no lows). I've been off of them for 2 years now.

Don't switch drugs, don't substitute. Crazy as this sound, talk to your doctor about it. He/she probably has a lot of good advice about staying clean! Doctors really helped me... both mentally and physically. Helped me figure out the emotional and mental issue driving my addictions, and helped me through the physical aspects of it all.
