Hi really not sure why or what I am seeking an answer to. I have been using meths for nearly a year now. Forgive me if stupid question but is it going to be more difficult to quit given that I inject? And am I much alone in iv ng the drug? many thanks in advance
Hi karyn.....From my past experiences the injecting part is the hardest to quit or stop thinking about anyway...3 yrs ago i was addicted to speed,ice etc..I ended up a scattered mess and took pills someone gave me to CALM me down.to cut a long story short they were rivotril and i went off my head...12mths jail later i lost my kids ,life the lot...And i still have a addiction only this time its the opposite morphine...ive been up & down getting there slowly but its the actual thrill of the steel that i love...It sux i should of been doin this s*** when i was 18 not 31 with a family....I lost my eldest 2 boys after jail & had my youngest in jail hes got another dad & were doing great except 4 my morph prob...I know a lot of it is emotional it rips my heart out not having my kids all the time every 2nd w/end and half holidays just doesnt cut it.But ill get there as you will,feel free to email me on boredbitch@hotmail.com if u want to unload ive just unloaded heaps on you.Take care...tracey
I felt the need to reply; I am a ex-iv meth user. For me fighting the addiction is hard. I have been off the needle for 14 months. During my recovery i have had a few relapses. Some iv users are actually addicted to the needle. But i truely belive when you are ready to work on the real problem which is us not the drug or the method used for obtaining the high..Seeking and trusting in a higher power willing to let go and let god then we can and will learn although sometimes slowly the peace and freedom of living drug free no matter the method. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
I was told once how a large part of drug use is the "ritual" of it's use .such as twistin one up with weed, choppin and lining up perfect rails to snort, firing up a torch and blowin glass for pipes and smokin meth .....I have never used a needle ( thank god , cause I never would have come back ) but am sure that the act of injecting is just as addicting as the drug itself , so that gives you two things to fight . Also , at fifty years old , I have known very few recovered iv users. but that could be just because of the fact that not many recovered users ever go back to even talking about it ..... it is a battle , but one that can be won .Teresa, I am so happy to see you taking a more active role in your recovery , kudo's to you , and happy for kristen . may the new year give us all strength and serenity
