No one replied at my first post and im new here soo i decided to make another post. And now i will tell you everything. Im a teenager boy at the age 18. I live in the philippines. I started using meth in yr 2013. I was able to use meth because i was drunk and my friend dares me to use it. And after that whenever we go out with my friend we always used meth. Until last yr. I was able to stop using it for like 2 weeks because my mom got home from saudi arabia. I thought i can finally stop it but i was wrong. Whenever i fell bored or tired. I always think of meth soo that ill never be bored. I dont know whats happening to me. I read soke threads about something they called relapsing. I thought i was having like this. And still yesterday i used meth. I need help from you guys to what to do. ;(
Hello, where in the Philippines are you located?
You need to get support and help from a service or doctor to stop using. My son starting using meth at 20 he is now 36 and as a family we are still struggling to have him stop. I am convinced the more you use the harder it gets to stop. I think you are amazing for wanting to stop using and are asking for help. From what I understand of meth it takes over your mind psychologically that is why even though you dont want to your body is still craving. I'm thinking you are afraid to confide in your parents, if this is so you need help from another source. I dont know but am hoping that there are drug support centres in your town, please contact them and ask for help!!
Wow. This feeling that someone cares about my problem. Thank you. Its been 1 day since i stop using meth. And i've been sleeping since. And i'd been craving foods its like im soo hungry and after i eat foods. I sleep again. But when i woke up i feel too tired. And wanting to using meth again but i keep thinking about my body. And still i keep thinking about meth but im trying soo hard to not use it. Still i didnt told my parents about it but they're happy that i'd been sleeping and eating alot. I hope i can make this happen. I really want to quit. Thanks for the support mam sharon. Take care.

Hi Emzy,
Im James, also new on this message board. I have read your posts, and I wanted to say hello and well done for joining and for asking for help. From what you wrote in your last message, yes people do care really they do... and they want to help. Especially considering your only 18 and all the vulnerabilities all that brings. Remember youre not alone on here.
Im not familiar with meth, but I have knowledge of medicine.
Ask yourself: how badly are you addicted to meth? Well done for being clean for 2 days now (really well done!!) at the moment, how are you managing with daily life, free of meth? Are you having any withdrawal symptoms? You mentioned you are hungry a good appetite is a good sign Id say?! And the fact that youre able to sleep also sounds good. Try your very best to keep it up and not be tempted to take any meth. I know its hard. Stay strong and keep going.
Youre very young and have the rest of your life in front of you. You dont want this addiction to be the thing which determines your future, like its done me. [I got addicted to valium when I was 17; Im now 23 now and addicted to codeine based pain killers. I take 42 tablets a day.] So youve got to think carefully and decide what action youre going to take. See what other people on here have to say. Remember again youre not alone and it can be done! If you want, you and I could stay in contact?
Stay strong my friend!!

Emzy, My husband relapses from using Meth about every 2 months. I tried to help him, take care of him, make excuses for him, nothing works. He would post here for help or ask anyone for help. Great job. Talk to more support people. Eat and sleep as much as you can now. Drink lots of fluids. Stay away from sugar. Sugars have a similar effect on your body as Meth. Stay away from people that us. Hopefully you have the resources/insurance to use for help. Do it for yourself.
I had to leave my husband and our home because I can not live with a Functional Meth Addict. He has hit rock bottom today. It is our Anniversary and he his out celebrating.

Emzy,
Please ask a friend or family member to help you find a program that helps with meth addiction. Don't get disappointed in yourself. It's the most difficult drug to deal with and you are going to need time and help to deal with this drug. You can't do it on your own....
Keep your teeth as clean as possible. Drink tons of water to flush your system.
Best,
Russ

Hi, I know this is anonymous, but if anyone could email me I will give them my email address. If someone could I would really appreciate it. I'm addicted to a lot of amphetamines, but I can't tell friends or family and I really need someone to talk to.
Best regards Pete

One final thing I'm not ready to go to meetings or talk to people in person, that's why I hope someone will be willing. Just to say it's not my first addiction, from 14 I was on coke but a few years later it's now meth. Please I need someone who understands.
Regards Pete

Hey Peter,
Go online and look up a number to call in your city. They will have a help-line for you to chat with. If you call the suicide help-line because that's all that you can find, that's ok because they will have experience and will know the number to send you to. Who knows they may even just be able to talk with you about what you are going through.
You could see if AA or NA has a help-line number to call too, they could help.
If you are working at a full time job your work may have an employee help-line to call. That's who I spoke to first when my daughter first told me of her addiction, and they helped out so much!
I hope this helps.
Also, keep writing here. It's helped me lots to just connect with people here going through similar things.
Peace,
Stewart

Struggle I to have since I was 16, had a job a truck felt free so I began to drink moved away from my home town,and for the next10/years i used meth about once a year, heavy booze consumption (trigger) met a neighbor who offered some tar herion to ease my alcohol withdrawal. He rigged up not even half a point shot into my viens and wow for the next year I was hooked smoking tar daily alomg with very good quality meth which my dealer would give me said he new the cook so i began to smoke about 2grams or more weekly. my neighbor and girlfriend whom was only around if I had money for dope. If not shed go steal clothes from walmart and have them returned along with many other dishonest actions. This was all of 2011, by 2012 I was homeless noting but my mountain bike and the clothes on my back I lived homeless for two months continued meth herion began drinking again. I had lost myself within 12/months time, my house,license,truck,job, over 4k worth of carpentry tools, 3k outdoor equipment all gone sold in order to feed my appetite. I gave up called my parents I was weak, and new another week of homelessness and I'd be dead. Moved back to my hometown, went cold turkey for 18months not a damn drink, no tar, no meth. I worked my but off thru 6months of outpatient treatment, got a good paying job, and now I sit with my dog alone. See 5 months ago I was feeling free and strong my dog and I found a house of our own.
The first night heck I'll just have a beer its only one so stupid and meaningless, I already new alcohol as my trigger for meth, within 1hour I had met my old dealer and was back home breaking up a gram of decent shards twisting on an old familiar demon. Prior to this I had always smoked meth on a more social level. 5 months now I have been smoking alone while my dog gives me a look of sadness he can see my addiction is back and I feel like a piece of dirt having promised him I'd never put him thru neglect and struggle like I had before. around 1/gram weekly not much however its enough for me to lose everything I worked to rebuild over the past few years. I'm almost out of meth maybe have slept for 15 hours over the last 14 days after one hour of sleep thursday I woke up about 10am Thursday went to work for 13 hours came home it is now 7am Saturday, I've had one glass of water,an energy drink, a bowl of lucky charms. About 15 cigarette s managed. To do one load of laundry and somehow it took me three hours to clean my tiny kitchen, something that usually takes 15 minutes. My tounge is sore I keep chewing, my lips are dry with two cracks split open from where I twist the glass, my teeth ache from constant pressure applied with my jaw, i can taste the fillings of my teeth grinding away. And once again I just bit my tounge ouch, Im praying I don't reach for my phone before i pass out inhopes that when i awake, my mind will be restored with hope and visions of future sobriety, My 1gram demise is just one text message away.

It sounds like you've got just about enough energy left to get to a local AA or NA meeting.
I wish you the best.
