Well heres my story..... im a 19 yr old male who just started smoking "s***" (meth) not too long ago about 6 months or so but in those 6 months my life has completely taken a turn for the worst. In high school I was a very active involoved person. 3 yrs varsity football 2 of those i was the captain 3yrs varsity wrestling all 3 of those i was a captain and 2 yrs varsity track. I kept a B average as my gpa and was given 5 scholarships for college. I had the most beautiful girlfriend that i loved with all my heart and i still do but just like the rest of my life that was ruined by meth. i have nothing now i cant even remember the last time i went to class oh yeah i can i was spun out seems like i dont go anywhere without be high. this drug has distroyed my life and i keep doing it....why? how do i stop? ive tried to stop but the longest i went without gettin spun was like 4 days and i couldnt take how i felt anymore so i started smoking again. i have this constant feeling of not being worth anything anymore having no purpose on this world anymore. but i keep smoking. i had it all love happiness money respect and most important my family. now the love of my life left me, im never happy, i spend all my money on tweak, nobody respects a drug addict, and my family gave up on me. see the thing with me is when i do anything whatevere it be i must do it with all my energy and all my focus thats how i got all those good things in life and thats what made me do meth so hard so quick. well im looking for advice suggestions anything that will help me go back to being a person because doing meth has made me feel like im not a person. i need help!!! anything to get me away from this life of hell
Rickxrak, you need to get help with that same "give it all you got" energy that got you into this. Start immediately by talking with someone, preferably a professional, who can direct you to the treatment you need. Most will keep your info confidential, and you can ask them up front to be sure.
Here's a web site that may also help you find treatment in your area: Substance Abuse Treatment Locator
Consider attending a Narcotics Anonymous meeting where you can talk with others in recovery and get a sponsor who will help you through your Meth. addiction. Here's a link to the Narcotics Anonymous Meeting Locator.

hey man.thats a tough one to get away from.i used to say "i only did speed once, for 9 yrs".it took several failed attempts then finally some counselling.on top of all that,you really have to want to quit,you have to hate the person you've become and surround yourself with those who care about you.help is available and not half the nightmare you think it may be.but you have to do it.better sooner than later!!!!it's early 4 u now but in a couple yrs there is a different person in the mirror,and he's a d***.good luck!the physical withdrawal is not that bad,but the psychological side can be nuts.thats where the loved ones help
Okay I'm sorry if this sounds wrong or if I shouldn't say this here... but ephedrine can take the edge off meth withdrawal, just be careful with it as it is probably not much bettter for you than meth. But when you get to just ephedrine, caffiene can take the edge off the withdrawal.
You also need some kind of support system, an NA group or even a few trusted friends. Proffessional advice would be good but I realize that isn't an option for a lot of 19 yr olds simply because of money and insurance issues (like myself).
My cousin is in prison for manufacturing meth right now. I will ask him next time I talk to him what they do in the group for addicts that he got in there. They might be able to offer better advice/support.

meth is ephedrine transformed,purified and concentrated,so to use it is just like using a small dose of meth.may work for some. wouldnt advise it for all.
one of the worst parts of getting off the meth was going back to average sex.maybe bad to say but that drug was adifferent bag of apples.DONT TURN TO OPIATES LIKE I DID WORST MOVE EVER.in my area there have been meth lab fires,busts,ods and friends lost.yet there is not much specified support.sure there are the religios based groups but if thats not your thing and its not mine your on your own
You have to check this out... it helped me quit and I have been clean and sober for 12 years as a result.
