I started doing drugs since my teenage, got addicted to meth. Meth addiction actually destroyed my life. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 3 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Thanks for sharing your story. That's rough I sympathize. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health. I will pray for you all.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Germany don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
Mushrooms are very medicinal. This is why anybody familiar with psilocybin and any other kind of fungi will tell you, "They are alive." They have a very ancient wisdom. To my experience, all mushrooms have always said, "Pay attention to your life. How you think, how you feel, and what will you do with the information that you always knew, but now are seeing in this point of view." This is why mushrooms are so respected in tribal cultures. This mental health treatment works for me too. Half micro doses do the trick for me. At least a few days at a time with lengthy time in between. Never addictive. Thank you for sharing this point!
Just an update...January 13th I celebrated 5 years clean and my beautiful wife will join me at that number on April 13th! Thank you for all those who have supported us in prayer!
Hey I hope & pray you’re doing well. I’m struggling now so I now exactly what you were going through or still going through but I’ll keep you & everybody that’s still battling this disease in my prayers❤️❤️❤️
today is my 34th day off meth, Im going along with 2018, and I just feel sooo freaking good!!! cant even believe myself about been numb on meth, can´t wait to be 13 and more years just like you Richard, I hope more people get to enjoy the unique satisfaction of being clean after meth. Greetings from northern México!
I never done drugs in my life nor dranked... Im 53 years old and i have younger sister who did meth and probably still doing..have not seen her in many years. Graham glad you are clean..stay that way 👍 i pray my sister would stop too..just hope she's doing okay 🙏
@@luc1d356 I often think some of these rude comments aren't even from real people. They are some evil bot , entity or reptilian, inhuman thing. Pay no attention to those energy vampires.
Brian Edwards Mr you dont have a fucking clue is completely correct. I have always had more love from my family and friends than one person could ever deserve, but I’m an addict nonetheless. ...and believe it or not, even after eight years of daily use, I wouldn’t want it any other way. Happy addicts do exist.
Idk I think its what's in your party favor bag when you leave Hell. Door prize vacation tickets to Hells summer home. Self medicating to cope with Hell.
I am an ex meth addict. Speaking from experience. This is the most amazing story. To come out the other side of this addiction with your relationship intact is something special. The most touching video ever for me.
@@bcmcbootI get it but in reality its semantics, it's just words all of which are made up anyway. Wouldnt change it whether its Recovery or chicken wanker. The important part is he no longer is a slave to his addiction to the crap 😎👍
Im 5 + years clean . I was a daily meth smoker for 5 years . Bless those who continue to struggle with addiction. You can get through it my prayers go out to you.
Kitcat, I believe that falls more under an individuals psychological state of mind, even before the drug use. more stereotyping i see, dont believe everything you see on TV, get your head out of the gutter, like more then likely where you get your information..I know alot of revenue is generated to make you believe this..js
Good luck. I relapsed a few days ago. I had been clean for 9 months. One day I just got triggered by my senses connecting to memories and somehow I just went on autopilot. It was just right. And as soon as I did the first bit I was miserable and hated myself. I'm still high and this sucks.
The guy who smoked cannabis and was put on probation and being drug tested so switched over to meth. This is a very clear and powerful example of how prohibition can and often does make situations worse.
@@maggiewestern7550 I was on it for nearly a decade, so I can relate brother. A clean diet and eventually a large dose of Magic mushrooms had completely changed my behavior towards meth. I even tried to smoke after my mushroom trip to test if I was "fully recovered" and to my surprise my mind was filled with absolute disgust when I held the pipe. Just reminded me of all the paranoia, psychosis, multiple restless nights and days without eating. I'm 1.5 years sober and counting. I only suffer from depression and anxiety now, after a decade of abusing my body and mind I know things take time but I'm hopeful I'll return to some level of normalcy. Anyway, if you want to quit I believe in you , it may feel like you can't but I guarantee you can. Start small, eat healthier , maybe incorporate a lil exercise and you'll see the weaning process will get easier and easier.
@@Dabby724 so you have been clean for 1.5 years and still suffer from depression and anxiety? Isnt watching this video about meth hard to watch? how exactly did you quit? I am asking fo a friend
@@MaNuLaToROfficial yeah I still suffer from depression and anxiety here and there (especially if I miss a day of exercise) although it's not too severe. Truth be told, I heard of the carnivore diet in how it relieves and treats addictions, depression and a whole myriad of other metabolic issues. I used that diet initially as a tool to quit meth. Then like I said, I had a profound experience with mushrooms and it had completely cured me of any meth thoughts lingering in my head. But yeah I don't recommend the mushroom trip until your mentally ready. To be in right frame of mind I suggest diet, exercise and meditation. I get that the diet is extreme but If you're desperate like I was.... well drastic times calls for drastic measures. Anyway, I truly hope your friend finds recovery, I wouldn't wish this devil's drug on my worst enemy.
I have 22yrs clean from meth. To the ones that are fighting the fight. YOU GOT THIS!! Keep your head up. One day at a time. And I admire you to the ones that have 24 hours clean, 1 week, 1 month. Fight like a WARRIOR!
I don't know if your 22years clean (now 23) led you to reaching out to help others, but if it comforts you, know that your message has been well received by myself if nothing else, and I am hoping this is the kick in the ass reminder I needed to ditch this lifestyle for the second time. After 6 years clean, I recently relapsed and 2 months later I feel I am at a crossroads; to continue with recovery and working my steps through NA; or sink into this devilish mirage that keeps me from having to feel the pain of losing my family. I don't get how it can be that hard of a choice; but just for today I'll remind myself to be a WARRIOR! Cause that's what it takes during the first few weeks/months/..life. And kudos to you and yours. I hope your life has turned out amazingly
Where are the positive comments about this video? It's amazing. I have never personally used meth or anything like that, but this documentary is extremely well-done and hopefully will open some eyes as to what it's like to be an addict...of any kind. Muncie is where I make my home, and it kills me to see that there is so much of this addiction going on. It used to be funny when a fire truck went by and people would say, "Are they on the way to a meth lab?" but it's not funny anymore. I want to be safe in my town. I want to know that my friends and family are safe. I want to be PROUD of my town...not ashamed because we're #1 in meth production in the state and country. If this documentary helps even just ONE addict, or manufacturer, or casual user stop using, producing, or contributing to this phenomenon of proliference of methampheamine use and manufacture, I would say it's worth viewing. And well done, Ball State Students. VERY VERY well done.
well. . .it would be nice if the documentary did more than just "document." it's well done in its documenting, but beyond that, i dont see it offering much substance.
No it's not well done, it's candy coated and you are endorsing it because you are a reverend. Keep it real 'Rev'. The comment right beneath mine (oopalonga) said it best "not much substance. No one said "it wasn't the drugs fault, it was mine." Because that would've been the truth of the matter. How is it that one female can use and not sell her body and another woman use and never sell her body? According to the experts, the libido is one the prime targets of the drug. Not unlike alcohol, one person can drink and want to fight everybody. While another person drinks and gets comical or sad and start crying. What is in you is in you. Using simply opens the gates to let 'it' out.
That's way to easy. Your last statement is ignorant. Drugs are mind altering. They change brain chemistry and it's a disease. Of course people are responsible for their decisions and choices but this is an epidemic and it isn't a gateway to just let whatever is in you out. That's so arrogant and shows how uneducated you are about substance abuse, addiction, how the brain works, mental health etc....
I see that you are a Rev. so I just want to ask you if you have an outreach system in place? My church is located in the worst area of my city...... every Sunday we serve free crepes donuts and coffee, you are welcome to come even if you don't attend. Most Sundays we will get one or two addicts come in, and even though they don't always stay the duration of the service seeds are being planted ❤️
Thank you for this. I am in recovery from the hell of meth along with my wife....we thought we lost it all but have started to see the light. To those still caught in that tornado... Keep fighting you can get to a calmer weather.. the winds do change...you can do it... Just believe. Thanks again to the folks who made this video you are angels every one of you

You're going to make it just don't let your illness make the decisions for you. Use your heart, when the brain is unsure of what to do. God doesn't leave us, he watches us and wants us to be strong and use our hearts as well as our minds. You deserve a life, you aren't a bad person until you choose to become one brother.
Hello i just wanted to share im 20 yrs old. I started using meth when i was 16 and used till 3 days after my 18 birthday in august i am now a year and half sober. I quit because i had multiple seizures that almost made me quit breathing and i was ruining my family. I hope you are sober and doing well. Good luck you can do it!
Stop stigmatizing mental health and mental health treatment. Make treatment easily accessible for everyone. Pass laws that protect people from being drained dry, abused, and exploited. You’ll see an amazing drop in drug abuse.
I personally believe a couple things here... 1. Once you're an addict, you're ALWAYS an addict. It's just a choice on whether you're actively using or not. 2. It IS a disease, and like most other diseases, people are worried about putting a " band aid on a broken arm" and would rather sweep it under the rug than to deal with it. 3. You'll only get and stay clean if it's YOUR idea and if you want to be clean. If it's trying to be forced on you, it'll NEVER stick like it should.
The fall through sobriety is tortuous, it haunts you . . . It becomes an invisible "friend" that you cannot make go away or disappear. Thirteen years sober from meth . . . I'm learning still to not look at it, to ignore that "invisible friend" constantly at my side that is an embodiment of the "good" I felt while using and dually, complete and utter grief over the good and the bad.
"Painfully numb!" I led a life of DELUSIONS and it's a blessing to be alive. I want to be part of the solution when it comes to methamphetamine and undiagnosed mental illnesses. I self medicated for years and I realized I was faded more than not. I wanted away from that drug. STAY CONNECTED! STAY STRONG,KEEP THE FAITH,GET HELP AND BE THE Y O U..YOU KNOW U CAN BE..LOVE LIVE AND LAIGHTER I SEND TO ALL OF U..BLESSINGS
Congratulations! And I believe that meth makes you an easy target for demons and your not just seeing things that aren't there because those are demons fucking with ya and its real. Gateway to hell...
You were just using too much of it you see the abuse of crystal meth or any drug or even water the abuse of cheeseburgers will kill you hence there forth the use of something the correct use how do you think we won World War II you fucking sheeple dope how do you think they built to the Twin Towers as a matter of fact how do you think they destroyed the Twin Towers crystal meth how do you think God built the world in the universe crystal meth
@@scottydymond9187 my best friend glen said exactly the same as you n me and him still aren’t better but he’s got the worst end he’s a skitso because of it
Your right it garbage. But for people who use to self medicate it doesn't matter you'll find something to use. It's just more excptabul if you eat yourself to death or fill the hole with the rush of hoarding. You know its messed up that they prescribe methamphetamine at the doctors office to people who have hording or food addiction. It's not that hard for me to understand how people would give up every just to function normally. How do we put a price tag on that. And expect people not to steal it.
These interviewees were great. You can just feel how honest and candid they are being. Thank you. I got off Fentanyl January 2022. I used to shoot meth and smoke crack here and there too. My life is so much better now. I don't miss hard drugs at all. Me cleaning up had way bigger of a impact on my family and my GF's family than I ever would have imagined. It means so much to me. And life really is ok. My brain has healed so much. My baseline level of happiness is good enough for me. I workout a lot. I smoke weed and do mushrooms occasionally. We just have to give life a chance and trust in God.
The best high I have ever experienced is Jesus, no joke. Im a recovering heroin addict, been sober 5 years and counting. I would rather sell my body than my soul. Never sell your soul. Jesus is real and we are all searching for that high because we know it exists...there is life after addiction...get help and get sober...you will thank yourself later.
I started on meth when I was 18 teen, I used it for 11 year's. I smoked so much of it I lost my teeth, been clean 12 year's. But it's a daily reminder that I have dentures, when I quit meth I became a alcoholic and had to fight that battle for 10 years. Finally got clean off alcohol 3 year's ago.
that euphoric feeling is principalities keeping you prisoner, I’m so happy for ppl who have gotten out of addiction and i pray that everyone can defeat it in Jesus name Amen ❤️🕊🌈🙏🏻🦁love you all x
My sister is back on meth. This has never been a drug of my choice, so I don’t understand her demons or how she’s struggling with it. It destroyed her life before, got her kids taken away and sent her to prison. She turned her life around for a few years and started dabbling in it again. Now she’s someone I don’t know anymore and I’m scared of her, scared of how she looks and acts. I don’t know what to do about it. I tried to be supportive and she gets upset with me for accusing her of different things, even though we know she’s lying through her teeth. I have not spoken to her in months, that’s how bad I know she’s struggling. As sad as it sounds, I have just excepted that this is my sister‘s fate and that the short Time I had with her while she was normal and sober off meth, I will cherish that forever. I don’t know how else to help her without putting me or my family at risk with some of the paranoia and anxiety that comes with it. I can only just pray for her and hope she comes around soon enough, before it destroys her life again
So sorry. I have a child on meth, it's heartbreaking to see someone you love being ravaged by this thing. 🌺 but as long as they're still alive, there's hope.🌺
She needs to go on a holiday and get her head straight. Two weeks in the Caribbean on a beach should do it. Decide to move out the area and start again somewhere else.
Have you thought of an intervention? Just thought I'd throw it out there. I hope you get your sister back. Its so hard to talk to them as you are not actually talking to them but the drug.
i'm currently addicted to amphetamines. it's ruining my fucking life. i lost everything because of this drug but i continue to do it, even while watching my life collapse around me.
I never really thought about it before but Rhea is right...There's always stories of negative shit going on with addicts..Never the success stories. We need to hear more of those to give hope.
I dont get it either, it never made me feel that way at all, I thought... THIS IS IT??? What a weak drug, you don't even get a buzz from it! Keeps you awake and horny is all I can see it does. Smoke a good Joint and it will stone your ass! Meth can't even give me goosebumps! Poppers will do way more than meth for sex, like 50x the effect. Waste of money.
I am a recovering addict. I will celebrate 6 years sobriety from meth on the 2nd of Feb. Best thing for me because I was spiraling out of control. For almost twenty years meth was my life. By the grace of God and The Salvation Army, I am clean and sober. Thankfully my husband and I got clean together, and recently celebrated 29 years of marriage. We are more in love now than we have ever been. Today, I work with addicts. I love helping people overcome their addictions, and help them become active members of society......
Two months off of meth and synthetic marijuana.A spiritual life is helping me out.Im working on this through a church.I would have not said hi to these people two months ago.Now they are my best friends and are helping to save my life.I have a twisted way of thinking.Thank God for where I am going and not being where I was in a short time.
B. Pınar Özdemir it can be done.. meth almost killed me.. I damn near lost everything and was right behind everything that mattered to me.. became extremely unhealthy and extremely unhappy. Went from 188 to 128 in a years time.. very dark and disturbing place.. if it wasn't for my parents and my babies momma and kids, I wouldn't of made it.. I did it without jail or rehabilitation.. you get to a place we're you start to see and feel death and watching everything evaporate around you.. The combination of everything was finally enough incentive to walk away.. that was 4 years ago.. I wouldn't of survived another year of use. Thank god some of us manage to see the light before it's too late.. good advice would be don't do meth.. and they say not even once for a damn good reason.. some try it once and never touch it again.. but most aren't so fortunate.. doesn't matter how strong willed you believe you are.
I only tried meth a few times. Friend of mine sold me about 5 times worth of the stuff. I liked it so much I spent 3 months trying to get a hold of it and I never was able so I gave up. Probably a good thing because I liked enough I would have just kept using it over and over again. I understand the whole idea that meth can be addictive from the moment you first try it.
This is a little poem i wrote...... To all my sober friends, If you were one of my friends during my addiction that I left behind please forgive me.I am sorry. I wasn't in the right frame of mind I was too focused on my chaotic life, I wasn't available to be there for you please don't judge me based on who I became and what I had to do Some of you may not understand what it's like on Satan's dance floor before the devil found me, remember who I was before Some of you know the combination to unlock the demon's vaults knowing the secret to walk away instead of being in a never-ending waltz To all my sober friends, you possess a strength that I admire some of you found joy in life again, some of you never fell into the fire Just don't blame yourself for my actions, I made my own choices I knew the game, I took the risks and listened to the evil voices I was once that sober friend who was always getting left out I could never grasp what hold the drugs had and what they were all about Embarrassed by the slave I'd become there was only me to blame I knew all this but still I took his hand and walked right into the flame It wasn't a conscious decision it was one that was vexed It was based on who can inflate your ego and where to score next I could ask anyone who's felt the flames to listen to what I have to say But addicts hearts won't listen, they always need to learn the hard way We need proof that it will ruin our lives to the darkest parts of our souls we need to see it with our own eyes, we need to feel the holes We broke our promises that we made and took his hand to dance even though we wanted to rest the devil continued to prance Dragging us through every waltz, tango and two-step when we fall he comforts us like a friend he's always kept All along it was us, we were the ones who needed to let go I hope you never dance with him, i hope you never know I pray you never understand, I pray you see me for who I use to be when I let go of his hand I hope you'll be there waiting for me Hold out a hand for me, be someone that makes the bad things run and hide not someone that I allow to drag me, be someone who walks beside You give me the hope that I can be strong and let go of the devil's hand there is a better life than dancing to the devil's evil band You're my prayer I say each night before I go to sleep please know that you crossed my mind when I was in too deep I didn't want to be embarrassed, if we didn't talk you wouldn't know if i didn't see you then there would be nothing I had to show I wouldn't let you down like I let myself down every day thank you for being who you are, it's for you I pray Continue being the light because one day I won't be at his command I will see you again even if you choose not to take my hand Even if you're not there waiting know that with your help i grew I hold no loathing towards you, you just did what i could never do It's not the life I wanted, it's one I wouldn't have picked with kind regards, from yours sincerely, your friend the drug addict
omgosh I'm in tears.. my daughter is a meth addict.. I lost My husband to it.. and now my child she's now she's Bern a meth addict for 8 years.. it devasted all I am.. all she is.. her childrens lives.. everything
This drug. THIS drug. The most volatile, evil, dark addiction. I tried it in 2016, was hooked for 3 months. Sat down on my bedroom floor (after just coming out of homelessness), and prayed. What am I doing. Why am I doing this? My doc was alcohol. Thank God someone was listening because I did stop. What a horrific horrific drug. I've watched it tornado through people's lives that I adore. God bless anyone struggling and anyone who overcame it. Love from Canada.
Stop being a drama queen. It's only bad because you are living up to beliefs about drug use that society has put into the world via Bill Wilson and his cult. I honestly wish that fucker never had come into existence, let alone start the 12 step AA trash. Antiquated, non-scientific, religious (yes, it is religious, deal with it. Fact. The little "spiritual not religious" game has been done to death and tons of people aren't buying that little bullshit move and there's a reason why). And, yet it's a real medical disease (apparently). And the solution or treatment for said disease is to give it all up to a higher power. This is such a disconnect and it is a massive disservice to humanity. That, plus the attention seeking, cry-me-a-river, "look at me, I've been clean for 3 days!" substitution nonsense. It's no coincidence the most prevalent personalities I saw in meetings were people who would fit right in at a sorority or fraternity. Disgusting. I'm simply not convinced. When everybody is chanting the same things or saying the same things, and independent thought and critical thinking are fucking nowhere to be found, we got a problem. And I smell bullshit.
@@sm-fh3wv I need help I have been high on tht shit for like 4 times last time I did it was like 2 days binge after tht woke up with severe depression and sadness it’s been around 50 days prolly I’m still kinda sad inside I’m not able to be the old me and find everything boring how do fix this will I be fine in upcoming days I don’t wanna use tht shit again
My father is a meth addict he doesn't realize he has a problem.. it breaks my heart that I can't do more to help him get better 💔 😔 I will never lose faith and hope that will one day get sober 🙏
I suspect my dad is a meth user but I’m not sure. I found out around a year ago that he was using coke but I’m starting to suspect he’s snorting meth as well. How did you know your father was doing meth? Were there any noticeable signs? And don’t lose faith in your father’s recovery, we might not know each other but i have hope for you and your family. I pray your father is doing better!
Those little kids grow up. The fucked up grown pple u see were once those wide eyed bullied unloved kids that u cry ur eyes out over. No one cares about kids. Its just harder to turn a blind eye and hate on a kid like u can an adult.
"I even stole from my son". That cut me up. The animal craving that these substances produce can even override the most fundamental compulsion of a mother to care for her child. Pray for these lost souls.
WITH JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR LORD GOD & PERSONAL SAVIOR & YOUR BREATHING. THEIR IS ALWAYS HOPE. until you die. JUDE1:Through 25 John 3:16-17-18. Ephesians 1:13-14🌹🕊♥️🫶🏻GOD LOVES YOU MORE THAN Meth♥️🙏🕊🫶🏻🌹🛡🔥
You shouldn't be put on a pedestal for getting sober, you should have been stronger and stayed out of the shit in the 1st place. I won't celebrate you getting clean. I will celebrate you becoming a productive member of society!
I used neth for more than 25 yrs today i am clean & sober for 14 yrs , JESUS CHRIST is your only hope to get out of this life binding sin, HE can free YOU from ALL of your sin & guilt . TODAY IS THE DAY OF YOUR SALVATION... You don't need meth YOU DO NEED JESUS...
You laugh, and although it is a "laughable" matter/concept. Its not funny at all.. lives ruin. Lesser minds/addicted souls fall victim to much worse drugs because of the stigma and travesty surrounding maryjuana prohibition, Shame... politicians get away with, you know the line. Norml ppl thrown in jail for joints. Whats illegal illegal dont get me wrong , you have to know right from wrong. But weve been pushed propaganda for years the line has been blurred
@thespACEchannel bullshit. Don't know a single lazy stoner. What I do know of is the stigma you are portraying. It's bullshit First of all most people that smoke aren't going to let you know. They are your mom, boss , business owners etc. So fuck off with that bs. Homeless people are in Cali cause its warm... Same with Florida... Is weed legal there??
@@Xtroletsgo no its true any drig will ruin anyone, these days if you allow the devil to access your mind by taking drugs even drinking will ruin yoir life, we are in the last days before our lord Jesus Christ returns to judge the world so my advice to you is repent and turn away from all sins and all drugs and alcohol ask God for forgiveness and do his will because if you dont you will not make it to heaven but be condemned to the everlasting eternal lake of fire called hell fire its not a joke its to do with your eternal soul. Give your life to the lord Jesus christ today because you might nit have this chance again you can not guarantee your life on earth. Amen
Currently on my 4th attempt to quit after a year of on/off functional use…1st attempt lasted a day; relapsed. 2nd attempt right after that high was over lasted 3-4 days; lapsed. 3rd attempt again right after the previous attempts high, lasted a week, drank like a moron, lapsed on meth. As I come down from the absolute bonkers amount of meth (I think between 2.5-4 grams in a span of a day) I’ve nasally consumed in this current bender…I watch these to ready myself for this final, 4th, successful attempt yet~ To all of you trying to stop or who want to stop…You can do this~ Wish me luck folks; and good luck to those addicts who still don’t see the problem in front of them…
My Entrance To Hell This disease is not discriminatory, this drug is the same. These individuals are telling my story, these people are me, these people are my brothers and sisters. I use to deal this demon while using as well, I'm happy to say I'm two and a half years clean and counting. I've been fortunate to not relapse but its a real possibility if I'm not vigilante. This demon takes your soul and defiles it in every way possible, its taken me to Hell and stripped me of my whole being but thanks to the program I'm getting me back and growing like I never have. I owe it my life because I should be dead.
Saul Cifuentes Jazz my biggest and best suggestion would be to go to a meeting of NA and hook in right away if you haven't already. Follow the suggestions that they give and get the literature. Do the steps, 1-12, in order to get the best results, then do them again. First and foremost no matter what don't pick up!
Colton S keep going! I am ten years clean from it and it took almost 4 years before I was 100% confident I was back to feeling all experiences the way I did before crystal and I no longer had drug dreams, was just completely done with it. No chance of going back. It's truly a CHOICE. I never did NA because being around users and being that deep into the connection of it just wasn't healthy for me. I decided not to go the 'disease' route and in fact realized it's not a disease. It's simply a choice you have ultimate power over. Once I did that, there was no turning back. But it took so long to balance out chemically speaking after depleting my hormonal sources and up regulating so many receptors in the brain. I firmly believe staying away and just dropping that life and being patient, as well as learning to cope with emotional problems naturally is the key to sobriety. Wish you the best!!
what u talking about man?my uncle has been dabbling in it for two years now..but he takes mirtazapine to kill the crash. He only goes about his work. wired definitely, he seems more calm and together on it.
Colton S congratulations it sounds like you are doing well I know your battle I'm coming up on a year clean it's hard I still have lingering effects from it I get so scared still but I'm working on it keep it up it is worth it life is beautiful again
Mary Thompson I agree. You feel AMAZING, you can physically function, it takes quite a while for it to take a toll on you regarding appearances etc. it's super sneaky. Meanwhile you're depleting your feel good hormone resources, missing so much sleep that you can not think straight and end up flipping on everyone close to you, become paranoid, curtain peeping, and you miss proper nutrition as well proper hygiene since your days all run together as one; the up regulation of hormone receptors in your brain becomes insane. Once you decide to get off, you feel nothing for a LONG time. Life feels horrible, and it takes a good year to begin gaining your feelings back. That's if you can sever your drug ties and get away from that life. There is hope though for those that can find support.
J Carter I believe that my mom wanted to quit, but she couldn't handle the year of severe depression. I couldn't imagine how horrible that would be. She turned to alcohol and has been an alcoholic ever since. Tried everything to help her...wakes up 3pm, grabs her first beer at 5pm, drinks until she falls asleep again at 7am, and does this same routine everyday. Doesn't bathe herself, her teeth are chipping and turning brown. She smokes a whole lot of menthols. She's just a mess. I wish I could do something. I'm afraid he liver is going to give up one of these days. It's been abused for 25+ years, and I'm not sure how much longer it can survive. Sorta sad, sorta not. Horrible childhood, horrible mother. I wish it could be different so badly. Not sure why I just wrote this comment out...lol maybe since it's so long I'll copy and paste it places so people who have used it before can give me their input.
lunamaybelater So she traded one for the other? Or is she also still doing Crystal along with drinking... It is so sad as the trick in depression is convincing the person that they actually have the power to crawl out of the funk. But it's hard to think positively when you lack the proper amount of chemicals to 'feel' upbeat and happy. That's not to say you have NONE it simply takes more stimuli or will power to create more. Cheesey but it's like Peter Pan in hook learning to fly again and forcing himself to think happy thoughts but he just couldn't until one day he did and he flew. It all depends on who the person was before they began using and got lost. You have to find their weak spot, the soft spot that makes them 'feel' emotion. A childhood memory, a love they still carry for someone or something. Her children needing her for some reason, or maybe a chance to do something she has always wanted, a vacation, who knows. Once you get them to feel, the flood gates open and hormones begin firing again and receptors will decrease so they need less hormone to elicit the feeling. That's just conquering the depression though. And if she's drinking... That's the first battle to fight before the depression. Knowledge is key here though. If she knows there is hope, and understands how the body works, there's a chance for her. First and foremost is eliminating all people connected to her bad habits and triggers. Abandon the people with bad habits for good, and the people that trigger her until she's much stronger.
lunamaybelater Addiction for the family members is pure Hell, Your Mum is a addict and from year's of knowing addicts I can honestly tell you the only one's who have stayed clean are the one's who truly found God.I pray your mum finds God Almighty who can make her better☺.I was just saying to my mum drug's are beautiful 😇 Which is why they're dangerous ,, Mum can't even handle Panadol lol, Your Mum love's you hun I can tell you that as a mum,My addict love one's love their kids but they just can't get of the drug's.
toots kiwi sorry to say but I both and agree and dissagree with you. I have found God but unfortunately I to this day struggle with my addiction. I thank him that while I've been caring my children only he has been capable of blessing me with ive been able to stay clean. otherwise I am a wreck and struggle to not get that next one. Your belief in my opinion is irrelevant.
addicts are people who need help, it's amazing how we claim to be such a civilized society but ban drugs which forces the problem into a deeper and darker place, help these people not lock them up.
@Jaime Alonzo they obviously didn't want to quit. There's a difference between an addict and a junkie. Addicts are addicted, but still nice, civilised people. Moat of which actually want to get clean, these are the ones most likely to succeed. Now your junkie on the other hand, these people are deep into the ride, they've lost all self respect, don't want to get clean, and will sell their grandma for a fix. It's easy to transition from an addict to a junkie, but near impossible to come back. Don't tar them all with the same brush.
They do need locked up because as soon as detox starts there gna lie still or whatever to get there fix to not feel sick anymore.. so yes locking them up and providing services and counseling is better than leaving them out in the world where they can keep using.. that's why there is a place called rehab.
I've been to prison and almost every single person is troubled and has always had issues.... I had 6 years for my first felony. One high speed chase and I got the same punishment as my celly, who murdered someone with an axe to the head. I got less time but same punishment.
Stfu. If YOU TRULY want to change and quit something, you’ll do it. This is coming from an EX junkie. The ones I had the biggest issues with I stay away from, doesn’t matter if someone is doing it right in front of me, I made the decision to not do it. If you’re so weak minded that you need a crutch like religion, or to claim addiction is a disease, then you deserve to be swallowed up by this drug.
It's a shame to say, but one of the hardest things I have ever done, was dumping out my bag when I decided to quit. Couldn't have done it without Jesus...
"I can do all things though Christ who strengthens me" Philippians chapter 4 verse 13 I truly feel Jesus put me to watch this video I can relate to everything y’all went through god bless y’all in Jesus amen 🙏
@@Eyeluv2d I concentrate a half day at a time. I pray every four hours. Being surrounded by non-user friends who know my past stay with me, and my two part-time jobs keep my interests varied. Thank you for your response.
Love dope. When im high it feels like all my body opens all whatever it is like a prework out i can skate better. Orgasm feels better. And music feels better. But im sober for almost 1 month now
Great video ....I would love to open a halfway or sober house for recovering addicts....I was a meth user for 18 yrs been sober 11 praise God and teenchallenge
Showed up on my recommendations tonight so figured I'd watch - I know itll remind me how I never want to go back to that lifestyle again. Clean from IV heroin & meth since Oct 2017. Sending positive thoughts to all who are struggling - I hope they know it's possible to get better as long as they don't give up on themselves. This drug ruined so much for me...almost 3 years later and I'm still trying to get my life back to "normal". It'll never be the same again but I'm so much better off now than I was back in 2016/17.
God loves you & adores you Zachary. He hears every prayer, collects every tear, longs for you to know who He is, and the extent to which He treasures you. ...Look up some Dan Mohler videos, they were a great blessing to me. You're in my prayers, & you're in the Fathers heart. Do not ever give up: life is full of seasons, & things can AND DO change! If you're in the midst of addiction & need help, investigate teen challenge (their treatment is most often free & on occasion at minimal cost, depending on the location. It is also available for all forms of addiction, & open to all ages). Keep fighting the good fight of faith: the victory is worth the battle!
The more uou have the urge to stop the more the devil will try to lure you to come back. You can do it. Please include Jesus in your heart and mind . I hope and pray that you are doing well now.
I hear for some it is an incredible struggle to get clean and to stay sober. I hope both of you have each other to lean on when it's necessary. My husband and father of our kids chose addiction over family life. It's heartbreaking to see how each of my kids were affected and I feel very sorry for my ex-husband for all of the time with some of the most amazing, intelligent, charming, compassionate, responsible people I know (and just because I'm describing my own kids, doesn't mean I'm not doing so objectively). Everybody who cares and loves someone who is a slave to addiction suffers and it's exponentially more painful to watch your children experience that, in my humble opinion
Listening to these people stigmatize the people and drugs makes me sick. Stop the drug war, I can see these people still pulling the “woah is me” card. They need education, and help.
Been clean off of Meth for 16 years! Put myself in rehab on my Birthday, December 12th, after my drug dealer/ boyfriend busted through my bedroom window, sodomized me & choked me until I stopped moving. He left me there knowing that my mom and my four-year-old daughter would walk and see me waiting there on my birthday! I flatlined three times and somehow I made it! I know it's possible! I smoked and snorted a 8 ball and a 1/2 a day, and that was just to feel pretty much normal! I told myself at the beginning that I won't/can't get addicted cuz I'm too strong of a person to ever let that happen and I always had control of myself! All it took was a person blowing it into my mouth to start the downward spiral that I couldn't control! So if you think it's not possible believe me it is! And the proudest you feel for yourself is the most beautiful feeling in the world that never goes away!
Diane M Kuchins let me ask you a question? What do you think happens when you put 8 people in a party setting and give them a couple bottles of liquor, then give same 8 people a fee joints. Which room got into a fight if they would fight. Damn sure wouldn't be the weed setting. It's so sad seeing how big pharma has brain washed you. You are stuck in the 50's jack. LMAO. The only thing dangerous about weed is getting to many calories in the day😱😨😱😨😱, ohhhhhhh. Wait a minute why don't you talk to the deputy sheriff I talked to who had the fucking horror of scraping a babies body off the fucking asphalt because of dumb fucks who take Alcohol and drive. Stupid ass
One thing, someone who is high af on weed isn't safe to drive either and can create the same exact accidents as someone who is drunk driving. The same thing can be said for someone who is over worked and hasn't slept for days and then they get behind the wheel to drive I know this example all too well because I personally "slept drove" and when I came to I had no idea where the I was, my foot was on the break NOT in park, and the cops were 3 cars deep and surrounding my car. I freaked out, started crying uncontrollably and was told by a very nice officer dealing with me I had drove almost 3 hours down the highway sleeping after working at the hospital. Impaired is impaired.
Got some rest last night, throwing away all ""supplies", blocking #'s , no alcohol, and staying away from negative influences.. people, places, and things. Here we go again.
j Karlsson Maybe for you. Most addicts spent their whole lives looking to absolutely no avail. Why do you think most of them are addicts?. Not everyone has as good (or any good things at all) life as yourself..
Some people's lives are a nightmare. Don't judge...Going through abuse, struggling against poverty. One day, a friend offers you to do coke, or heroin, or whatever it us, you name it, and you suddenly feel like you can deal with the pain. You can forget about your dark past, then the parties become more and more frequent...You realize you feel better when you're high ( more confidence, life is easy, you've got energy and friends, yay! ). So, it becomes a habit. And then you start selling stuff and stealing from your loved ones to use again. Easy, it only takes a few weeks. And welcome to Hell ( again )...Please do not judge and say that users are weak crybabies that can not deal with life. Some have endured stuff that would traumatize you for years ( violence, rape, etc...). They're just trying to numb the pain. As I did. But I've been sober for 11 years now. Please, don't judge. Wish you the best...
@Voracious Reader you numb nuts know my comment to be true America is in a hell of a state you can,t even look after your vunrable people drug problems,health problems, homelessness problems, dental care problems l could go on and on so stick your reply where the sun don,t shine arsehole,
if the first time you take a large dose of a very powerful drug intravenously, i dont care who you are, you will create if not an addiction then insanely strong craving from then on. i dont know what these people thought.
14 years clean and enjoying life to the fullest. I’ve been blessed with a beautiful wife and 2 wonderful children. God helped me to get out of meth addiction. You guys can do it too!
I've never done meth (thank God), but I am a recovering alcoholic (15 years sober) and prescription drug addict (6 years clean). I know what they mean. It was fun, until it stopped being fun. Goodness, how I know...
Not a justification but there is a big difference between use and abuse. I had tweaked over 20 years. No prison, no job loss, not a house full of losers all the time, no meth mouth or massive weight lose, never dealt or cooked it, paid all my bills consistently, didn't steal, sex with men, etc.....just like everything in life you have to draw a line and never cross it. The "vast" number of meth users are highly functional but some of course are not because they took it to far which is bad for any drug legal or illegal. That being said I am in my late 50's now retired. I don't use now or drink much either. Kinda bored and lazy now sure enough but that's the life after meth- "really boring!" It is what it is.
Addiction is rampant in my family, and I'm so grateful that I don't follow that. My father is a mindless zombie from years of drug and alcohol addiction, my brother has been clean for 22 years, but he isn't mentally fixed one darn bit. This country has absolutely zero mental health treatment. I believe if we did, the serious drug issues would significantly reduce. These people are in pain. They need help, not jail - unless they're violent. My 2 cents.
I’ve tried meth out of morbid curiosity, just to see what the hype was about. It’s scarily addictive. One hit and I just wanted to keep hitting again and again. As someone who has been a cannabis/ alcohol consumer for many years that part just worried me. I’ve never felt that urge to redose on any other drug I’ve taken. Never again. I’ll stick to a nice cone or two. Couldn’t pay me to do that again.
Voracious Reader well said. I know myself well enough to say that even casual use of meth is a bad idea. Lights those receptors up like a Christmas tree! I have had problems with alcohol in the past and that’s probably more to blame for the conditioning you referred to. I’ve never had a problem with cannabis, only alcohol as far as addiction goes 👍🏻😎
I am Free from heroin since 2001 when Jesus find me..i was 7 times on rehabs and everytime the some story that i will be an adict my whole life..but that is not the Truth..Jesus gave me freedom for free..just new life..I have no feeling to drugs(my old love) because it is dead,the old haves died the new lives..if u r looking for a way out go on your knees and say that u need help,u will see for your self there is nothing u can loose by doing it..just give it a try and see..God bless you all..
The lord Jesus Christ is amazing our God does miracles he loves us soo much words can not describe the love of God, keep preching the truth to everyone of our lord Jesus Christ.
My ex and i--heroin and meth addicts. I stopped. he did not. he hates me for not waiting for him. he's cheating. lying. it's the behavior. but....I accepted I will bury my love before long. :'(

I started doing drugs since my teenage, got addicted to meth. Meth addiction actually destroyed my life. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 3 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Thanks for sharing your story. That's rough I sympathize. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health. I will pray for you all.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Germany don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
Hey! Yes Predroavaro
Mushrooms are very medicinal. This is why anybody familiar with psilocybin and any other kind of fungi will tell you, "They are alive." They have a very ancient wisdom. To my experience, all mushrooms have always said, "Pay attention to your life. How you think, how you feel, and what will you do with the information that you always knew, but now are seeing in this point of view." This is why mushrooms are so respected in tribal cultures. This mental health treatment works for me too. Half micro doses do the trick for me. At least a few days at a time with lengthy time in between. Never addictive. Thank you for sharing this point!
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
Just an update...January 13th I celebrated 5 years clean and my beautiful wife will join me at that number on April 13th! Thank you for all those who have supported us in prayer!
Your sex must be bland now days.

Highly recommend Derek lambert. He has a very motivational channel to me. Hope it helps you. 🌻☺️ I wish you the best. Keep going 🌻

When you do use as far as the high does it immediately go serious more dark or pure euphoria
Stay strong ♥️
20 years I spent high and then got locked up 4 years which led to my sobriety and God! 19 months clean and loving it!

Thats right my brother. We can do all things through Christ

27 years. Just hit 1 year clean. No words for how grateful to God I am. More him less me, ya know?
Hope you just keep walking with Jesus until your years away from your past addiction❤️
Update?
Addiction is from a symptom. That symptom is a lack of love. Not the word most people use but the action very few show in this world.
Truest shit here
Bullshit!!!!
U obviously have no idea. Got nothin to do with love!
Brian Edwards Mr you dont have a fucking clue is completely correct. I have always had more love from my family and friends than one person could ever deserve, but I’m an addict nonetheless.
...and believe it or not, even after eight years of daily use, I wouldn’t want it any other way. Happy addicts do exist.
True
I used to smoke meth. Im happy and proud now i'm 2yrs clean.
Nothing to be proud of at all
Meth: main entrance to hell
COMPLETELY demonic
So true. So glad to have my soul back ❤️
Omg!
Idk I think its what's in your party favor bag when you leave Hell. Door prize vacation tickets to Hells summer home. Self medicating to cope with Hell.
Amen...Thats the truth...

I leave for rehab tomorrow!!!!!!!

Ben M Prasie God!!!
Kitcat, I believe that falls more under an individuals psychological state of mind, even before the drug use. more stereotyping i see, dont believe everything you see on TV, get your head out of the gutter, like more then likely where you get your information..I know alot of revenue is generated to make you believe this..js
43 days clean. My Higher Power is my strength, my guide, and a light to my ever changing path. God bless!
Good luck. I relapsed a few days ago. I had been clean for 9 months. One day I just got triggered by my senses connecting to memories and somehow I just went on autopilot. It was just right. And as soon as I did the first bit I was miserable and hated myself. I'm still high and this sucks.
Yes.!!! Let's go K!!! 43days you got this.
Still clean?
@@jdasko6895 yes, still clean. :)
@@B_easyRealHurtsHow are you doing now? I'm 🙏 you're finally clean and well. Nobody wants to be an addict. What a horrible addiction. 😞
The guy who smoked cannabis and was put on probation and being drug tested so switched over to meth. This is a very clear and powerful example of how prohibition can and often does make situations worse.

im gonna be put on probation soon so ill switch from weed to xanax lsd and mdma

I used to be a meth addict for 14yrs and an alcoholic for 20yrs. But throught the power of Jesus I can proudly say im over 4yrs sober 😊🙏
Amen brother...
Me too still going through it constant battle wish I could do it
@@maggiewestern7550 I was on it for nearly a decade, so I can relate brother. A clean diet and eventually a large dose of Magic mushrooms had completely changed my behavior towards meth. I even tried to smoke after my mushroom trip to test if I was "fully recovered" and to my surprise my mind was filled with absolute disgust when I held the pipe. Just reminded me of all the paranoia, psychosis, multiple restless nights and days without eating. I'm 1.5 years sober and counting. I only suffer from depression and anxiety now, after a decade of abusing my body and mind I know things take time but I'm hopeful I'll return to some level of normalcy. Anyway, if you want to quit I believe in you , it may feel like you can't but I guarantee you can. Start small, eat healthier , maybe incorporate a lil exercise and you'll see the weaning process will get easier and easier.
@@Dabby724 so you have been clean for 1.5 years and still suffer from depression and anxiety? Isnt watching this video about meth hard to watch? how exactly did you quit? I am asking fo a friend
@@MaNuLaToROfficial yeah I still suffer from depression and anxiety here and there (especially if I miss a day of exercise) although it's not too severe. Truth be told, I heard of the carnivore diet in how it relieves and treats addictions, depression and a whole myriad of other metabolic issues. I used that diet initially as a tool to quit meth. Then like I said, I had a profound experience with mushrooms and it had completely cured me of any meth thoughts lingering in my head. But yeah I don't recommend the mushroom trip until your mentally ready. To be in right frame of mind I suggest diet, exercise and meditation. I get that the diet is extreme but If you're desperate like I was.... well drastic times calls for drastic measures. Anyway, I truly hope your friend finds recovery, I wouldn't wish this devil's drug on my worst enemy.
I have 22yrs clean from meth. To the ones that are fighting the fight. YOU GOT THIS!! Keep your head up. One day at a time. And I admire you to the ones that have 24 hours clean, 1 week, 1 month. Fight like a WARRIOR!
How do you quit using it
How can you help an addict
Surrendering to Jesus...he will shit that bondage down when a person is truly sincere!
Congratulations! That is amazing!
I don't know if your 22years clean (now 23) led you to reaching out to help others, but if it comforts you, know that your message has been well received by myself if nothing else, and I am hoping this is the kick in the ass reminder I needed to ditch this lifestyle for the second time.
After 6 years clean, I recently relapsed and 2 months later I feel I am at a crossroads; to continue with recovery and working my steps through NA; or sink into this devilish mirage that keeps me from having to feel the pain of losing my family. I don't get how it can be that hard of a choice; but just for today I'll remind myself to be a WARRIOR! Cause that's what it takes during the first few weeks/months/..life. And kudos to you and yours. I hope your life has turned out amazingly
@@mariedejager6887 that's really up to the addict to do.
Where are the positive comments about this video? It's amazing. I have never personally used meth or anything like that, but this documentary is extremely well-done and hopefully will open some eyes as to what it's like to be an addict...of any kind.
Muncie is where I make my home, and it kills me to see that there is so much of this addiction going on. It used to be funny when a fire truck went by and people would say, "Are they on the way to a meth lab?" but it's not funny anymore.
I want to be safe in my town. I want to know that my friends and family are safe. I want to be PROUD of my town...not ashamed because we're #1 in meth production in the state and country.
If this documentary helps even just ONE addict, or manufacturer, or casual user stop using, producing, or contributing to this phenomenon of proliference of methampheamine use and manufacture, I would say it's worth viewing.
And well done, Ball State Students. VERY VERY well done.
well. . .it would be nice if the documentary did more than just "document." it's well done in its documenting, but beyond that, i dont see it offering much substance.
No it's not well done, it's candy coated and you are endorsing it because you are a reverend. Keep it real 'Rev'. The comment right beneath mine (oopalonga) said it best "not much substance. No one said "it wasn't the drugs fault, it was mine." Because that would've been the truth of the matter. How is it that one female can use and not sell her body and another woman use and never sell her body? According to the experts, the libido is one the prime targets of the drug. Not unlike alcohol, one person can drink and want to fight everybody. While another person drinks and gets comical or sad and start crying. What is in you is in you. Using simply opens the gates to let 'it' out.
That's way to easy. Your last statement is ignorant. Drugs are mind altering. They change brain chemistry and it's a disease. Of course people are responsible for their decisions and choices but this is an epidemic and it isn't a gateway to just let whatever is in you out. That's so arrogant and shows how uneducated you are about substance abuse, addiction, how the brain works, mental health etc....
I see that you are a Rev. so I just want to ask you if you have an outreach system in place? My church is located in the worst area of my city...... every Sunday we serve free crepes donuts and coffee, you are welcome to come even if you don't attend. Most Sundays we will get one or two addicts come in, and even though they don't always stay the duration of the service seeds are being planted ❤️
Thank you for this. I am in recovery from the hell of meth along with my wife....we thought we lost it all but have started to see the light. To those still caught in that tornado... Keep fighting you can get to a calmer weather.. the winds do change...you can do it... Just believe. Thanks again to the folks who made this video you are angels every one of you
I hope you and your wife are still clean and going strong, God bless you both😌

Your very brave! Make it two.thinking of you
Hi it's been a couple months, so how are you?
Hello i just wanted to share im 20 yrs old. I started using meth when i was 16 and used till 3 days after my 18 birthday in august i am now a year and half sober. I quit because i had multiple seizures that almost made me quit breathing and i was ruining my family. I hope you are sober and doing well. Good luck you can do it!
my mom is 7 months clean from alcohol, she’s doing better everyday, I hope
Wishing the best for you and your mum
I think I s tv
🙏🏾
Stop stigmatizing mental health and mental health treatment. Make treatment easily accessible for everyone. Pass laws that protect people from being drained dry, abused, and exploited. You’ll see an amazing drop in drug abuse.
I personally believe a couple things here...
1. Once you're an addict, you're ALWAYS an addict. It's just a choice on whether you're actively using or not.
2. It IS a disease, and like most other diseases, people are worried about putting a " band aid on a broken arm" and would rather sweep it under the rug than to deal with it.
3. You'll only get and stay clean if it's YOUR idea and if you want to be clean. If it's trying to be forced on you, it'll NEVER stick like it should.
That's all been done.
Doing meth is letting the devil guide you for a fast destruction. In 2000 it left me homeless.
Imagine feeling incredible. Invincible. Higher than ever. Amazing. Now imagine quitting that. Along with mental and physical torture in order to quit.
The worst thing is the crash or the come down! You just want to die, and the depression and anxiety that comes after is pure hell for weeks on end.
I suffer from intervolts of sanity. Edgar alan poe. Reality can be more horrifying than the nightmare.
The fall through sobriety is tortuous, it haunts you . . . It becomes an invisible "friend" that you cannot make go away or disappear. Thirteen years sober from meth . . . I'm learning still to not look at it, to ignore that "invisible friend" constantly at my side that is an embodiment of the "good" I felt while using and dually, complete and utter grief over the good and the bad.
It’s not hard at all bro lmao
@@stickyx9353 yeah I know man I quit heroin like 3 times I think. Sober.
"Painfully numb!" I led a life of DELUSIONS and it's a blessing to be alive. I want to be part of the solution when it comes to methamphetamine and undiagnosed mental illnesses. I self medicated for years and I realized I was faded more than not. I wanted away from that drug. STAY CONNECTED! STAY STRONG,KEEP THE FAITH,GET HELP AND BE THE Y O U..YOU KNOW U CAN BE..LOVE LIVE AND LAIGHTER I SEND TO ALL OF U..BLESSINGS
I had so much fun exploring coke,meth,LSD, ruffies,etc. Now I love what I grow in my yard. No needle, no dealer
The drug meth is a liar devil's drug, I've been clean for 19 years 😇
Congratulations! And I believe that meth makes you an easy target for demons and your not just seeing things that aren't there because those are demons fucking with ya and its real. Gateway to hell...
You were just using too much of it you see the abuse of crystal meth or any drug or even water the abuse of cheeseburgers will kill you hence there forth the use of something the correct use how do you think we won World War II you fucking sheeple dope how do you think they built to the Twin Towers as a matter of fact how do you think they destroyed the Twin Towers crystal meth how do you think God built the world in the universe crystal meth
@@scottydymond9187 my best friend glen said exactly the same as you n me and him still aren’t better but he’s got the worst end he’s a skitso because of it
Worst drug ever . Stay away
not even
worse than crack?
Your right it garbage. But for people who use to self medicate it doesn't matter you'll find something to use. It's just more excptabul if you eat yourself to death or fill the hole with the rush of hoarding. You know its messed up that they prescribe methamphetamine at the doctors office to people who have hording or food addiction. It's not that hard for me to understand how people would give up every just to function normally. How do we put a price tag on that. And expect people not to steal it.
that's definitely false. fentanyl
Sober for 11 years and I'm loving every minute of it with my daughter. Thank You God !
Well done
@@janeokeeffe5297 Thank You Very Much 👍
These interviewees were great. You can just feel how honest and candid they are being. Thank you. I got off Fentanyl January 2022. I used to shoot meth and smoke crack here and there too.
My life is so much better now. I don't miss hard drugs at all. Me cleaning up had way bigger of a impact on my family and my GF's family than I ever would have imagined.
It means so much to me.
And life really is ok. My brain has healed so much. My baseline level of happiness is good enough for me. I workout a lot. I smoke weed and do mushrooms occasionally. We just have to give life a chance and trust in God.
The best high I have ever experienced is Jesus, no joke. Im a recovering heroin addict, been sober 5 years and counting. I would rather sell my body than my soul. Never sell your soul. Jesus is real and we are all searching for that high because we know it exists...there is life after addiction...get help and get sober...you will thank yourself later.
Praise Jesus
Bullshit
I started on meth when I was 18 teen, I used it for 11 year's. I smoked so much of it I lost my teeth, been clean 12 year's. But it's a daily reminder that I have dentures, when I quit meth I became a alcoholic and had to fight that battle for 10 years. Finally got clean off alcohol 3 year's ago.
that euphoric feeling is principalities keeping you prisoner, I’m so happy for ppl who have gotten out of addiction and i pray that everyone can defeat it in Jesus name Amen ❤️🕊🌈🙏🏻🦁love you all x
Amen
The background music to this is so unnecessary and distracting. -.-
So is the content.
Easily distracted by some noise probably a Meth head LMAO. Idiots can't pay attention
My sister is back on meth. This has never been a drug of my choice, so I don’t understand her demons or how she’s struggling with it. It destroyed her life before, got her kids taken away and sent her to prison. She turned her life around for a few years and started dabbling in it again. Now she’s someone I don’t know anymore and I’m scared of her, scared of how she looks and acts. I don’t know what to do about it. I tried to be supportive and she gets upset with me for accusing her of different things, even though we know she’s lying through her teeth. I have not spoken to her in months, that’s how bad I know she’s struggling. As sad as it sounds, I have just excepted that this is my sister‘s fate and that the short Time I had with her while she was normal and sober off meth, I will cherish that forever. I don’t know how else to help her without putting me or my family at risk with some of the paranoia and anxiety that comes with it. I can only just pray for her and hope she comes around soon enough, before it destroys her life again
So sorry. I have a child on meth, it's heartbreaking to see someone you love being ravaged by this thing. 🌺 but as long as they're still alive, there's hope.🌺
@@miapdx503 I agree. There is always hope. She’s done it before and she can do it again. I am very sorry for your as well.
She needs to go on a holiday and get her head straight. Two weeks in the Caribbean on a beach should do it. Decide to move out the area and start again somewhere else.
@@HdHd-cg4nz if only we had the luxury or ability to do that.
Have you thought of an intervention? Just thought I'd throw it out there. I hope you get your sister back. Its so hard to talk to them as you are not actually talking to them but the drug.
i'm currently addicted to amphetamines. it's ruining my fucking life. i lost everything because of this drug but i continue to do it, even while watching my life collapse around me.
I never really thought about it before but Rhea is right...There's always stories of negative shit going on with addicts..Never the success stories. We need to hear more of those to give hope.
so many good things but u don't hear them cause they don't want u know how dam fun drugs are
if you let the dope do you then you will have a bad time i never experienced anything like any of these ppl described
Vidt softwhiteunderbelly on youtube
At the same time That exact part of the video wen she described I came across this comment. And I agree
I dont get it either, it never made me feel that way at all, I thought... THIS IS IT??? What a weak drug, you don't even get a buzz from it! Keeps you awake and horny is all I can see it does. Smoke a good Joint and it will stone your ass! Meth can't even give me goosebumps! Poppers will do way more than meth for sex, like 50x the effect. Waste of money.
I am a recovering addict. I will celebrate 6 years sobriety from meth on the 2nd of Feb. Best thing for me because I was spiraling out of control. For almost twenty years meth was my life. By the grace of God and The Salvation Army, I am clean and sober. Thankfully my husband and I got clean together, and recently celebrated 29 years of marriage. We are more in love now than we have ever been. Today, I work with addicts. I love helping people overcome their addictions, and help them become active members of society......
I pray you have 9 years sober today ❤ on the 2nd of February
Two months off of meth and synthetic marijuana.A spiritual life is helping me out.Im working on this through a church.I would have not said hi to these people two months ago.Now they are my best friends and are helping to save my life.I have a twisted way of thinking.Thank God for where I am going and not being where I was in a short time.
Hope it's still going well for you
very impressive.i am proud of these people.
B. Pınar Özdemir it can be done.. meth almost killed me.. I damn near lost everything and was right behind everything that mattered to me.. became extremely unhealthy and extremely unhappy. Went from 188 to 128 in a years time.. very dark and disturbing place.. if it wasn't for my parents and my babies momma and kids, I wouldn't of made it.. I did it without jail or rehabilitation.. you get to a place we're you start to see and feel death and watching everything evaporate around you.. The combination of everything was finally enough incentive to walk away.. that was 4 years ago.. I wouldn't of survived another year of use. Thank god some of us manage to see the light before it's too late.. good advice would be don't do meth.. and they say not even once for a damn good reason.. some try it once and never touch it again.. but most aren't so fortunate.. doesn't matter how strong willed you believe you are.
I only tried meth a few times. Friend of mine sold me about 5 times worth of the stuff.
I liked it so much I spent 3 months trying to get a hold of it and I never was able so I gave up.
Probably a good thing because I liked enough I would have just kept using it over and over again.
I understand the whole idea that meth can be addictive from the moment you first try it.
I’ve had that issue quite a few times. Or my dude would get busted a day or two after I got some, so I’d loose that connect
So glad I hate this shit. It NEVER made me happy at all. Thank GOD
This is a little poem i wrote......
To all my sober friends,
If you were one of my friends during my addiction that I left behind
please forgive me.I am sorry.
I wasn't in the right frame of mind
I was too focused on my chaotic life, I wasn't available to be there for you
please don't judge me based on who I became and what I had to do
Some of you may not understand what it's like on Satan's dance floor
before the devil found me, remember who I was before
Some of you know the combination to unlock the demon's vaults
knowing the secret to walk away instead of being in a never-ending waltz
To all my sober friends, you possess a strength that I admire
some of you found joy in life again, some of you never fell into the fire
Just don't blame yourself for my actions, I made my own choices
I knew the game, I took the risks and listened to the evil voices
I was once that sober friend who was always getting left out
I could never grasp what hold the drugs had and what they were all about
Embarrassed by the slave I'd become there was only me to blame
I knew all this but still I took his hand and walked right into the flame
It wasn't a conscious decision it was one that was vexed
It was based on who can inflate your ego and where to score next
I could ask anyone who's felt the flames to listen to what I have to say
But addicts hearts won't listen, they always need to learn the hard way
We need proof that it will ruin our lives to the darkest parts of our souls
we need to see it with our own eyes, we need to feel the holes
We broke our promises that we made and took his hand to dance
even though we wanted to rest the devil continued to prance
Dragging us through every waltz, tango and two-step
when we fall he comforts us like a friend he's always kept
All along it was us, we were the ones who needed to let go
I hope you never dance with him, i hope you never know
I pray you never understand, I pray you see me for who I use to be
when I let go of his hand I hope you'll be there waiting for me
Hold out a hand for me, be someone that makes the bad things run and hide
not someone that I allow to drag me, be someone who walks beside
You give me the hope that I can be strong and let go of the devil's hand
there is a better life than dancing to the devil's evil band
You're my prayer I say each night before I go to sleep
please know that you crossed my mind when I was in too deep
I didn't want to be embarrassed, if we didn't talk you wouldn't know
if i didn't see you then there would be nothing I had to show
I wouldn't let you down like I let myself down every day
thank you for being who you are, it's for you I pray
Continue being the light because one day I won't be at his command
I will see you again even if you choose not to take my hand
Even if you're not there waiting know that with your help i grew
I hold no loathing towards you, you just did what i could never do
It's not the life I wanted, it's one I wouldn't have picked
with kind regards,
from yours sincerely,
your friend the drug addict
Ben Bryant much love... I hate how relatable this is. This speaks to my sad soul.
little poem?
Great poem
That's something I would've written on a 4 day bender
omgosh I'm in tears.. my daughter is a meth addict.. I lost My husband to it.. and now my child she's now she's Bern a meth addict for 8 years.. it devasted all I am.. all she is.. her childrens lives.. everything
This drug. THIS drug. The most volatile, evil, dark addiction. I tried it in 2016, was hooked for 3 months. Sat down on my bedroom floor (after just coming out of homelessness), and prayed. What am I doing. Why am I doing this? My doc was alcohol. Thank God someone was listening because I did stop. What a horrific horrific drug. I've watched it tornado through people's lives that I adore. God bless anyone struggling and anyone who overcame it. Love from Canada.
😮
Stop being a drama queen. It's only bad because you are living up to beliefs about drug use that society has put into the world via Bill Wilson and his cult. I honestly wish that fucker never had come into existence, let alone start the 12 step AA trash. Antiquated, non-scientific, religious (yes, it is religious, deal with it. Fact. The little "spiritual not religious" game has been done to death and tons of people aren't buying that little bullshit move and there's a reason why). And, yet it's a real medical disease (apparently). And the solution or treatment for said disease is to give it all up to a higher power. This is such a disconnect and it is a massive disservice to humanity. That, plus the attention seeking, cry-me-a-river, "look at me, I've been clean for 3 days!" substitution nonsense. It's no coincidence the most prevalent personalities I saw in meetings were people who would fit right in at a sorority or fraternity. Disgusting. I'm simply not convinced. When everybody is chanting the same things or saying the same things, and independent thought and critical thinking are fucking nowhere to be found, we got a problem. And I smell bullshit.
How are you now
@@AbdulRahman-iq4es excellent. Clean and serene. Thank you for asking.
@@sm-fh3wv I need help I have been high on tht shit for like 4 times last time I did it was like 2 days binge after tht woke up with severe depression and sadness it’s been around 50 days prolly I’m still kinda sad inside I’m not able to be the old me and find everything boring how do fix this will I be fine in upcoming days I don’t wanna use tht shit again
My father is a meth addict he doesn't realize he has a problem.. it breaks my heart that I can't do more to help him get better 💔 😔 I will never lose faith and hope that will one day get sober 🙏
I suspect my dad is a meth user but I’m not sure. I found out around a year ago that he was using coke but I’m starting to suspect he’s snorting meth as well. How did you know your father was doing meth? Were there any noticeable signs? And don’t lose faith in your father’s recovery, we might not know each other but i have hope for you and your family. I pray your father is doing better!
Drug addiction, porn addiction, it is endless and who suffers the most? Little kids :(
Fuck those kids I'm still scrolling for that one open vid I'll never find.
Porn**
FemBot true
Those little kids grow up. The fucked up grown pple u see were once those wide eyed bullied unloved kids that u cry ur eyes out over. No one cares about kids. Its just harder to turn a blind eye and hate on a kid like u can an adult.
"I even stole from my son".
That cut me up. The animal craving that these substances produce can even override the most fundamental compulsion of a mother to care for her child. Pray for these lost souls.
It is ruining my daughter,I wish she would listen.

I've been clean for 12 hours...
I haven’t been clean since 10:30am yesterday when I got off probation
Keep on being clean 💞💝💖
Betcha they didnnnnnn't! 😇
It's only one day at a time. Don't look at the years look at each day to be clean.
The music throughout isn't necessary.
Right? It’s distracting
the OLD, REAL stuff, maybe..this crap today needs a new name, because it's not that lol
Great doco but that back ground music makes me want to use 😬😬😬😬
You shouldn't be put on a pedestal for getting sober, you should have been stronger and stayed out of the shit in the 1st place. I won't celebrate you getting clean. I will celebrate you becoming a productive member of society!
I used neth for more than 25 yrs today i am clean & sober for 14 yrs , JESUS CHRIST is your only hope to get out of this life binding sin, HE can free YOU from ALL of your sin & guilt .
TODAY IS THE DAY OF YOUR SALVATION...
You don't need meth YOU DO NEED JESUS...
Former meth and heroin addict here
4 months clean off heroin
1 day clean off meth
I too ask for your prayers
Hope all is well wid you ❤
Meth is schedule II
marijuana is scheduled I
The federal government says marijuana is more dangerous than meth
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Jakethesnake it’s freakin ridiculous right.?.
You laugh, and although it is a "laughable" matter/concept. Its not funny at all.. lives ruin. Lesser minds/addicted souls fall victim to much worse drugs because of the stigma and travesty surrounding maryjuana prohibition, Shame... politicians get away with, you know the line. Norml ppl thrown in jail for joints.
Whats illegal illegal dont get me wrong , you have to know right from wrong. But weve been pushed propaganda for years the line has been blurred
@thespACEchannel bullshit. Don't know a single lazy stoner. What I do know of is the stigma you are portraying. It's bullshit
First of all most people that smoke aren't going to let you know. They are your mom, boss , business owners etc. So fuck off with that bs. Homeless people are in Cali cause its warm... Same with Florida... Is weed legal there??
@thespACEchannel so true all drugs will ruin anyone. The demons/devil are deceiving mankind
@@Xtroletsgo no its true any drig will ruin anyone, these days if you allow the devil to access your mind by taking drugs even drinking will ruin yoir life, we are in the last days before our lord Jesus Christ returns to judge the world so my advice to you is repent and turn away from all sins and all drugs and alcohol ask God for forgiveness and do his will because if you dont you will not make it to heaven but be condemned to the everlasting eternal lake of fire called hell fire its not a joke its to do with your eternal soul. Give your life to the lord Jesus christ today because you might nit have this chance again you can not guarantee your life on earth. Amen
Currently on my 4th attempt to quit after a year of on/off functional use…1st attempt lasted a day; relapsed. 2nd attempt right after that high was over lasted 3-4 days; lapsed. 3rd attempt again right after the previous attempts high, lasted a week, drank like a moron, lapsed on meth.
As I come down from the absolute bonkers amount of meth (I think between 2.5-4 grams in a span of a day) I’ve nasally consumed in this current bender…I watch these to ready myself for this final, 4th, successful attempt yet~
To all of you trying to stop or who want to stop…You can do this~
Wish me luck folks; and good luck to those addicts who still don’t see the problem in front of them…
Hope you are doing OK. The power is within you, I sincerely hope you find it.
Cheers!!!
My
Entrance
To
Hell
This disease is not discriminatory, this drug is the same. These individuals are telling my story, these people are me, these people are my brothers and sisters. I use to deal this demon while using as well, I'm happy to say I'm two and a half years clean and counting. I've been fortunate to not relapse but its a real possibility if I'm not vigilante. This demon takes your soul and defiles it in every way possible, its taken me to Hell and stripped me of my whole being but thanks to the program I'm getting me back and growing like I never have. I owe it my life because I should be dead.
Keep going brother, dont fall back.
What tips could you give me to help my father overcome this?
Saul Cifuentes Jazz my biggest and best suggestion would be to go to a meeting of NA and hook in right away if you haven't already. Follow the suggestions that they give and get the literature. Do the steps, 1-12, in order to get the best results, then do them again. First and foremost no matter what don't pick up!
Colton S keep going! I am ten years clean from it and it took almost 4 years before I was 100% confident I was back to feeling all experiences the way I did before crystal and I no longer had drug dreams, was just completely done with it. No chance of going back. It's truly a CHOICE. I never did NA because being around users and being that deep into the connection of it just wasn't healthy for me. I decided not to go the 'disease' route and in fact realized it's not a disease. It's simply a choice you have ultimate power over. Once I did that, there was no turning back. But it took so long to balance out chemically speaking after depleting my hormonal sources and up regulating so many receptors in the brain. I firmly believe staying away and just dropping that life and being patient, as well as learning to cope with emotional problems naturally is the key to sobriety. Wish you the best!!
what u talking about man?my uncle has been dabbling in it for two years now..but he takes mirtazapine to kill the crash. He only goes about his work. wired definitely, he seems more calm and together on it.
Colton S congratulations it sounds like you are doing well I know your battle I'm coming up on a year clean it's hard I still have lingering effects from it I get so scared still but I'm working on it keep it up it is worth it life is beautiful again
METHAMPHETAMINE IS THE ABSOLUTE WORST.....THE WORST......
Mary Thompson I agree. You feel AMAZING, you can physically function, it takes quite a while for it to take a toll on you regarding appearances etc. it's super sneaky. Meanwhile you're depleting your feel good hormone resources, missing so much sleep that you can not think straight and end up flipping on everyone close to you, become paranoid, curtain peeping, and you miss proper nutrition as well proper hygiene since your days all run together as one; the up regulation of hormone receptors in your brain becomes insane. Once you decide to get off, you feel nothing for a LONG time. Life feels horrible, and it takes a good year to begin gaining your feelings back. That's if you can sever your drug ties and get away from that life. There is hope though for those that can find support.
J Carter I believe that my mom wanted to quit, but she couldn't handle the year of severe depression. I couldn't imagine how horrible that would be. She turned to alcohol and has been an alcoholic ever since. Tried everything to help her...wakes up 3pm, grabs her first beer at 5pm, drinks until she falls asleep again at 7am, and does this same routine everyday. Doesn't bathe herself, her teeth are chipping and turning brown. She smokes a whole lot of menthols. She's just a mess. I wish I could do something. I'm afraid he liver is going to give up one of these days. It's been abused for 25+ years, and I'm not sure how much longer it can survive. Sorta sad, sorta not. Horrible childhood, horrible mother. I wish it could be different so badly. Not sure why I just wrote this comment out...lol maybe since it's so long I'll copy and paste it places so people who have used it before can give me their input.
lunamaybelater So she traded one for the other? Or is she also still doing Crystal along with drinking... It is so sad as the trick in depression is convincing the person that they actually have the power to crawl out of the funk. But it's hard to think positively when you lack the proper amount of chemicals to 'feel' upbeat and happy. That's not to say you have NONE it simply takes more stimuli or will power to create more. Cheesey but it's like Peter Pan in hook learning to fly again and forcing himself to think happy thoughts but he just couldn't until one day he did and he flew. It all depends on who the person was before they began using and got lost. You have to find their weak spot, the soft spot that makes them 'feel' emotion. A childhood memory, a love they still carry for someone or something. Her children needing her for some reason, or maybe a chance to do something she has always wanted, a vacation, who knows. Once you get them to feel, the flood gates open and hormones begin firing again and receptors will decrease so they need less hormone to elicit the feeling. That's just conquering the depression though. And if she's drinking... That's the first battle to fight before the depression. Knowledge is key here though. If she knows there is hope, and understands how the body works, there's a chance for her. First and foremost is eliminating all people connected to her bad habits and triggers. Abandon the people with bad habits for good, and the people that trigger her until she's much stronger.
lunamaybelater Addiction for the family members is pure Hell, Your Mum is a addict and from year's of knowing addicts I can honestly tell you the only one's who have stayed clean are the one's who truly found God.I pray your mum finds God Almighty who can make her better☺.I was just saying to my mum drug's are beautiful 😇 Which is why they're dangerous ,,
Mum can't even handle Panadol lol, Your Mum love's you hun I can tell you that as a mum,My addict love one's love their kids but they just can't get of the drug's.
toots kiwi sorry to say but I both and agree and dissagree with you. I have found God but unfortunately I to this day struggle with my addiction. I thank him that while I've been caring my children only he has been capable of blessing me with ive been able to stay clean. otherwise I am a wreck and struggle to not get that next one. Your belief in my opinion is irrelevant.
addicts are people who need help, it's amazing how we claim to be such a civilized society but ban drugs which forces the problem into a deeper and darker place, help these people not lock them up.
Only losers try drugs, they know they are playing with fire.
@Jaime Alonzo they obviously didn't want to quit. There's a difference between an addict and a junkie. Addicts are addicted, but still nice, civilised people. Moat of which actually want to get clean, these are the ones most likely to succeed.
Now your junkie on the other hand, these people are deep into the ride, they've lost all self respect, don't want to get clean, and will sell their grandma for a fix. It's easy to transition from an addict to a junkie, but near impossible to come back. Don't tar them all with the same brush.
They do need locked up because as soon as detox starts there gna lie still or whatever to get there fix to not feel sick anymore.. so yes locking them up and providing services and counseling is better than leaving them out in the world where they can keep using.. that's why there is a place called rehab.
I've been to prison and almost every single person is troubled and has always had issues.... I had 6 years for my first felony. One high speed chase and I got the same punishment as my celly, who murdered someone with an axe to the head. I got less time but same punishment.
@@v4sdude191 please shut up
This should be shown to people who have addictions to give them hope that they can break free.
Stfu. If YOU TRULY want to change and quit something, you’ll do it. This is coming from an EX junkie. The ones I had the biggest issues with I stay away from, doesn’t matter if someone is doing it right in front of me, I made the decision to not do it. If you’re so weak minded that you need a crutch like religion, or to claim addiction is a disease, then you deserve to be swallowed up by this drug.
@@stryctn9yne13 nobody deserves it. Sometimes people need an inspiration or an outside Input to change. It doesn’t hurt anybody to show compassion.
Everybody is hooked on something thia whole threadis fucked up
It's a shame to say, but one of the hardest things I have ever done, was dumping out my bag when I decided to quit. Couldn't have done it without Jesus...
"I can do all things though Christ who strengthens me" Philippians chapter 4 verse 13 I truly feel Jesus put me to watch this video I can relate to everything y’all went through god bless y’all in Jesus amen 🙏
Amen bro
meth takes away everything,it really does..especially financial :P

There's way worse things that it steals from you than your finances 😩

Great video ....I would love to open a halfway or sober house for recovering addicts....I was a meth user for 18 yrs been sober 11 praise God and teenchallenge
They all steal. You'd be robbed blind, then they'd help you look for the constant items they stole..for hrs.
Hell yeah!! Rhehrsburg TC represent
Showed up on my recommendations tonight so figured I'd watch - I know itll remind me how I never want to go back to that lifestyle again. Clean from IV heroin & meth since Oct 2017. Sending positive thoughts to all who are struggling - I hope they know it's possible to get better as long as they don't give up on themselves. This drug ruined so much for me...almost 3 years later and I'm still trying to get my life back to "normal". It'll never be the same again but I'm so much better off now than I was back in 2016/17.
Hope you’re doing alright Ashley. Keep smiling that beautiful smile
I’m crying my eyes out please pray for me
God loves you & adores you Zachary. He hears every prayer, collects every tear, longs for you to know who He is, and the extent to which He treasures you. ...Look up some Dan Mohler videos, they were a great blessing to me. You're in my prayers, & you're in the Fathers heart. Do not ever give up: life is full of seasons, & things can AND DO change! If you're in the midst of addiction & need help, investigate teen challenge (their treatment is most often free & on occasion at minimal cost, depending on the location. It is also available for all forms of addiction, & open to all ages). Keep fighting the good fight of faith: the victory is worth the battle!
The more uou have the urge to stop the more the devil will try to lure you to come back. You can do it. Please include Jesus in your heart and mind . I hope and pray that you are doing well now.
How are you doing Zachary?
@Mansur Zaman quit smoking it.. sounds like you lost a lot of braincells already
😓
*O.D.A.A.T. 27 years, clean and sober for me...*
I hear for some it is an incredible struggle to get clean and to stay sober. I hope both of you have each other to lean on when it's necessary.
My husband and father of our kids chose addiction over family life. It's heartbreaking to see how each of my kids were affected and I feel very sorry for my ex-husband for all of the time with some of the most amazing, intelligent, charming, compassionate, responsible people I know (and just because I'm describing my own kids, doesn't mean I'm not doing so objectively). Everybody who cares and loves someone who is a slave to addiction suffers and it's exponentially more painful to watch your children experience that, in my humble opinion
❤❤❤
Listening to these people stigmatize the people and drugs makes me sick. Stop the drug war, I can see these people still pulling the “woah is me” card. They need education, and help.
I survived the crack explosion. Man I'm glad I missed meth. Surviving is the will not to die. May all who are suffering find the grace to heal
Crack gone take ALL your money. Crack addiction is very scary
Amen, thank you for that, it is a great new perspective to never do that shit ever agdin, thsnk you!
My parents were caught up in the crack epidemic in the 80’s, it was a horrible time in Los Angeles......
Been clean off of Meth for 16 years! Put myself in rehab on my Birthday, December 12th, after my drug dealer/ boyfriend busted through my bedroom window, sodomized me & choked me until I stopped moving. He left me there knowing that my mom and my four-year-old daughter would walk and see me waiting there on my birthday! I flatlined three times and somehow I made it! I know it's possible! I smoked and snorted a 8 ball and a 1/2 a day, and that was just to feel pretty much normal! I told myself at the beginning that I won't/can't get addicted cuz I'm too strong of a person to ever let that happen and I always had control of myself! All it took was a person blowing it into my mouth to start the downward spiral that I couldn't control! So if you think it's not possible believe me it is! And the proudest you feel for yourself is the most beautiful feeling in the world that never goes away!
Smoke meth again

I’m going to smoke pot and have a fun safe life.
lkjyuiop sounds like a good plan! Lol
Diane M Kuchins let me ask you a question? What do you think happens when you put 8 people in a party setting and give them a couple bottles of liquor, then give same 8 people a fee joints. Which room got into a fight if they would fight. Damn sure wouldn't be the weed setting. It's so sad seeing how big pharma has brain washed you. You are stuck in the 50's jack. LMAO. The only thing dangerous about weed is getting to many calories in the day😱😨😱😨😱, ohhhhhhh. Wait a minute why don't you talk to the deputy sheriff I talked to who had the fucking horror of scraping a babies body off the fucking asphalt because of dumb fucks who take Alcohol and drive. Stupid ass
You are clueless
That's what you say now.
One thing, someone who is high af on weed isn't safe to drive either and can create the same exact accidents as someone who is drunk driving. The same thing can be said for someone who is over worked and hasn't slept for days and then they get behind the wheel to drive I know this example all too well because I personally "slept drove" and when I came to I had no idea where the I was, my foot was on the break NOT in park, and the cops were 3 cars deep and surrounding my car. I freaked out, started crying uncontrollably and was told by a very nice officer dealing with me I had drove almost 3 hours down the highway sleeping after working at the hospital. Impaired is impaired.
I'm hating my life right now my stupid ass somehow got back on it again after being clean for 20 damn good yrs.
Powerful stories! Thanks to these survivors for your story. I appreciate and respect your journey and healing
Got some rest last night, throwing away all ""supplies", blocking #'s , no alcohol, and staying away from negative influences.. people, places, and things. Here we go again.
Relapsed like a mofo
dang you sound like me
Literally did this yesterday, hope all is well!
Five years later, how's it going?
Drug addicts i feel sorry for you There are better things in life Look and you will see
j Karlsson Maybe for you. Most addicts spent their whole lives looking to absolutely no avail. Why do you think most of them are addicts?. Not everyone has as good (or any good things at all) life as yourself..
Some people's lives are a nightmare. Don't judge...Going through abuse, struggling against poverty. One day, a friend offers you to do coke, or heroin, or whatever it us, you name it, and you suddenly feel like you can deal with the pain. You can forget about your dark past, then the parties become more and more frequent...You realize you feel better when you're high ( more confidence, life is easy, you've got energy and friends, yay! ). So, it becomes a habit. And then you start selling stuff and stealing from your loved ones to use again. Easy, it only takes a few weeks. And welcome to Hell ( again )...Please do not judge and say that users are weak crybabies that can not deal with life. Some have endured stuff that would traumatize you for years ( violence, rape, etc...). They're just trying to numb the pain. As I did. But I've been sober for 11 years now. Please, don't judge. Wish you the best...
America is seriously ill "
@Voracious Reader you numb nuts know my comment to be true America is in a hell of a state you can,t even look after your vunrable people drug problems,health problems, homelessness problems, dental care problems l could go on and on so stick your reply where the sun don,t shine arsehole,
For those of you who are recovering and staying clean, you can do it, never give up, and never look back
I'm from Kosciusko County which is on the map. If this fuckin state would legalize weed than half of this shit wouldn't be going on.
if the first time you take a large dose of a very powerful drug intravenously, i dont care who you are, you will create if not an addiction then insanely strong craving from then on. i dont know what these people thought.
14 years clean and enjoying life to the fullest. I’ve been blessed with a beautiful wife and 2 wonderful children. God helped me to get out of meth addiction. You guys can do it too!
I've never done meth (thank God), but I am a recovering alcoholic (15 years sober) and prescription drug addict (6 years clean). I know what they mean. It was fun, until it stopped being fun. Goodness, how I know...
Congratulations! I am happy to hear that!
I smoke meth every weekend Friday night, Saturday night, and call it quits early Sunday morning gotta sober up for work come Monday
Exactly. It’s called being a FUNCTIONING addict. It’s not hard
Hope you come to terms with your addiction and let Jesus free you ❤️
Not a justification but there is a big difference between use and abuse. I had tweaked over 20 years. No prison, no job loss, not a house full of losers all the time, no meth mouth or massive weight lose, never dealt or cooked it, paid all my bills consistently, didn't steal, sex with men, etc.....just like everything in life you have to draw a line and never cross it. The "vast" number of meth users are highly functional but some of course are not because they took it to far which is bad for any drug legal or illegal. That being said I am in my late 50's now retired. I don't use now or drink much either. Kinda bored and lazy now sure enough but that's the life after meth- "really boring!" It is what it is.
Addiction is rampant in my family, and I'm so grateful that I don't follow that. My father is a mindless zombie from years of drug and alcohol addiction, my brother has been clean for 22 years, but he isn't mentally fixed one darn bit.
This country has absolutely zero mental health treatment. I believe if we did, the serious drug issues would significantly reduce. These people are in pain. They need help, not jail - unless they're violent. My 2 cents.
Interesting comment about your brother. What you mean by that ? He is brain damaged , or still has weird thoughts ?
I’ve tried meth out of morbid curiosity, just to see what the hype was about. It’s scarily addictive. One hit and I just wanted to keep hitting again and again. As someone who has been a cannabis/ alcohol consumer for many years that part just worried me. I’ve never felt that urge to redose on any other drug I’ve taken. Never again. I’ll stick to a nice cone or two. Couldn’t pay me to do that again.
Voracious Reader well said. I know myself well enough to say that even casual use of meth is a bad idea. Lights those receptors up like a Christmas tree! I have had problems with alcohol in the past and that’s probably more to blame for the conditioning you referred to. I’ve never had a problem with cannabis, only alcohol as far as addiction goes 👍🏻😎
I am Free from heroin since 2001 when Jesus find me..i was 7 times on rehabs and everytime the some story that i will be an adict my whole life..but that is not the Truth..Jesus gave me freedom for free..just new life..I have no feeling to drugs(my old love) because it is dead,the old haves died the new lives..if u r looking for a way out go on your knees and say that u need help,u will see for your self there is nothing u can loose by doing it..just give it a try and see..God bless you all..
God bless you my friend our God does miracles Amen
The lord Jesus Christ is amazing our God does miracles he loves us soo much words can not describe the love of God, keep preching the truth to everyone of our lord Jesus Christ.
I am so happy to hear you are recovering!
My ex and i--heroin and meth addicts. I stopped. he did not. he hates me for not waiting for him. he's cheating. lying. it's the behavior. but....I accepted I will bury my love before long. :'(
Kels Krueger yup sometimes you gotta resign yourself to the fact that you can't see them again until they have a toe tag
Kel's Krueger...good on you for stopping. Pray, pray, pray to Jesus Christ for him!
Live a clean life and give yourself a chance. Sounds like your ex doesn't want the help ATM.
Fuck um move on bigger and better things coming for you
I'm sorry that's so sad
EVERYBODY WHO IS NOT SAVED IS LOST AND ALONE AND ON THEIR WAY TO A VERY REAL HELL--------READ THE GOSPEL OF JOHN AND BE SAVED----------------JESUS LOVES YOU AND CAN TAKE YOUR HEART OF STONE AND PUT REAL LOVE IN IT---HE ALSO TOOK ME TO A VERY REAL HEAVEN 3 MONTHS AFTER HE SAVED ME!!!!!!!!!!
Quit after the unexpected drowning of my husband. Went on one last binge...that was three years ago! Don't use no matter what! Also when you're done you're done and not before. All praise to Life which loves me....
