It is the stories of meth users, past and present that make meth personal for me to this day. While I am no longer involved in the drug life, I continue to maintain this blog for all of those who are affected by meth, both as addicts and loved ones. It is the stories that my readers share that reminds me each day, why it’s so important to raise awareness and why it is so important to share these personal stories with the world.
