My son was a victim of Meth…He spent two months in County Jail before a commpasionate judge court ordered him into rehab. Then he spent seven months in Teen Challenge where Jesus Christ became the center of his life. He was doing great, then another judge ordered him back into county jail, and we all stood looking at this judge in disbelief….We all know Teen Challenge is a twelve month program, and it needs to be finished….why are some so cold, and heartless? If my son has a relapse, I will blame that judge…..

I SO admire what you are trying to accomplish. You are correct in saying that many, many professionals fall victim to meth. I have written about a few of them here and read about many, many more; it seems that the common binding factor is pressure to perform on the job.
I'm just counting down the days until your book release

That's an amazing story Kona. It's tough to walk away from everything you know and start a new life. You are obviously very strong and I hope your story here will also help others just like Dr Psych's story. I am so happy for you both!

Kona,
It makes me feel really good to hear your story. You and your wife are lucky AND obviously very capable. Making it out of a meth addiction is certainly not easy. I used regularly for somewhere around 3-4 years and I can tell you given my experiences back then, and since, that there are many professionals who fall victim to drug addiction, and many who make it out.
One of my goals in coming out with my story is to get others like me to tell their own tales and slowly break down the stigma of drug addiction…
Best of luck to you!

Its incredibly refreashing to know that someone with a professional backround has fallen victim to the same demons asi and much like myself has happily walked away and stayed away from it. My wife and I went down that road together and managed to stick by one another during the binges and (by the grace of god) during the recovery. She managed to make it successfully through nursing school and I never lost my job. Our addiction lasted two years and and we have been clean for 2 years all without rehab and with no close calls of relapse. We had to cut off all associates who had anything to do with speed and I hear through the grapevine that many of them have been busted, and are either doing time or doing bad. I never forgot the lessons I learned and I never think of myself as above those who are still addicted, I pray for them and hope they can find their way out of the darkness because I know how hard that step is to take
