Thank you for your words of advice. I will most likely not say a word of my addiction to my family. This was caused without them, and MUST be conquered on my own. Ridicule coupled with shame is my driving force for recovery. Thank GOD for people like you. You’ve provided me with some foundation on which to build upon.

If I tell you “yes”, you should tell your loved ones about your addiction, would you do so? I think you know in your heart that you should. You need people around you that will support you through the process of getting clean, but you must be READY to quit – for good.

You’re right that there will be drama and there will be gossip – but if you’re truly ready, it’s time. You don’t have to let this addiction take your life – don’t let it win. Death is not the only option, that is the lies you hear in your head while you in meth’s grip.

I don’t know your faith, but you mentioned God, so I feel compelled to tell you to reach out to Him. He can and will help you and I am praying that He gives you the strength to get through this.

“I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.”(Philippians 4:13)

I dont even know where to start. I’m still using. My family is suffering behind this. I think death is the only option i have that will release me from this bondage. I’m frieghtened by the confession just made. I don’t want to die from this. I want my life back before this crap. My wifes family suspects strongly that im using. Should i just come out and tell them? After all the lies ive told, truth will crush them and gossip is sure to follow. Damn. I NEED SOME HELP!! God help me.

My Daughter says she has been clean for 8 days. Have been through the depression, sleeping, eating non-stop and appears to be agitated which I am controlling with xanax. She appears to be having these highs. She feels safe back at home but I am wondering if it is possible that they experience alot of energy from time to time after sleeping for days & then crash again. (hasn’t crashed totally for 2 day’s now and has slept…but has also stayed up going through things saying she slept for so long & now has energy). Is this possible through detox?
She is excited about starting a new life after a year of using but wondering if they are manipulative.
My eye’s are wide open and I am watching everything. I realize this is only the first step and have a long road ahead of me.
Any help and signs to look for will be greatly appreciated.
Can the hyperness, agitation, etc..be part of detoxing or did one of my eye’s close?
Thank you

I too am a meth addict and I’m getting ready to quit, I heard that adderal or vivance is supposed to really help as far as keeping you functioning and not going into a coma (not really) during the initial come down period. I know it also has meth but it’s the lesser of two evils and would certainly keep you from crashing and burning for a month straight.

My Son just came home off of the streets wanting help to detox off of smoking meth for the last 2 years. He is doing all of the things listed above (drinking water, sleeping, eating and eating some more and sleeping more!)…but the one thing that I am not finding anywhere….his hands hurt. Could this be a withdrawl symptom?

Hi, i know exactly how you feel. i work full time and have many obligations in life. no one in my family knows, my ork does not know, and my friends (except the ones i use with ) do not know. ive tried quitting over long weekends before. ive even taken a weeks vacation. but as soon as it is the night before i am to return to work i get so stressed out and horrible axeinty and am so tired and drained i can not get out of bed. you said you dont get much of the mental part when withdrawing i however do. i can not bear the thought of my family friends and work finding out. i dont want ot burden them with my stupidity that lead to this addiction. i have been using for 5 years now with very few a little breaks.i just dont know what to do, i feel hopeless like either i continue to use so that no pne finds out or i have to tell and hurt and upset my love ones to even have a chance at quitting. i didnt mean for this to get so long.i just wanted you to know you are not alone and people (at least me but i assume more) are in the sameboat you are.if you have learned any useful things to do to help quit or if anyone else has any tips suggestions i would LOVE to hear them.

Well… seems like everyone here knows what I goes through fighting addiction. I’m 25.I been doing method since I was 14. I recently went to a 28 day rehab program. After my release I relapsed in less than 48 hours. Addiction is very tough to deal with. But by changing people places and things I am 8 days clean today. Mite not sound like much, but we must always start with day one. Good luck to everyone… we can do it. The name book says life of addiction always ends the same jails institutions and death.
