I've tried it twice and it's very addictive. The urge to re-dose is so strong it takes a lot of willpower to resist. Also as an introvert it's ability to make me feel confident and outgoing was like finding the answer I'd always been looking for, but it's all a lie and drugs will destroy you. Stay away.
Somehow my mother is still using responsibly at the age of 65. She's in great health too lmao. Me on the other hand, I'll be lucky to see 30 at this rate. The trap is needing it to not fall asleep at work. Hard to quit when you only have 2 days off a week to recover.
Thank You Brother, not Even My "Friends" would be Brave enough to Tell me something like that, i wish i come out of this world soon
Fuck dude I just tried last weekend two times since then. I started seeing shadows and damn thanks for this comment I needed read that 3rd sentence I thought I was the only one
@@kylewatson6890 Dude, not trIng to be offensive, your body just looks extremely tired on your profile Pic. Maybe it's just the way it is, then no worries! But if it has changed since you started doing meth that's the sign what your inside is looking like. You only have this single life, and if you waste it being addicted your one and only chance, to live a fulfilling life on this earth is wasted!
Hello. Sad comment thread here :( breaks my heart a bit. I've been clean from meth for almost 8 months. Life gets better. I suffer from tons of PTSD and other shitty immobilizing things. But I'd gladly take the worst day sober over the greatest day high.
I'm three months clean and I still think about it every minute of every day
How you going ?
Hopefully 9 months now. 8 months here. Peace and love.
Almost a year and a half sober! Congrats 👏
I hope you're doing well
i know you miss it
Huge respect for this woman, really hope she's still clean ❤
True
@Harvey Weinstein yup
she has passed away
@@eliz8373 she did :(?
@@Ilovemybf4345 no, found her on fb, she also has a kid.
I recovered from meth addiction after 3 1/2 years. It had its hooks in me so deep, I didn’t think there was a way out. I’m 2 1/2 years clean and I’m never going back.
Quick question what does meth makes you feel when you're on it
How did you do it?
@@muchachitachinita Nearly instant, seemingly endless energy to accomplish anything on your 'to do' list, with euphoria to keep you pleasured while doing whatever you engage in. Sexual stimulation will also be at an all time high. When the bag runs out after extended use, priority #1 will be to obtain more, and this priority will override all other priorities until all aspects of your life begin to decline. This spiral will continue until you make some very hard choices.
@@sylkelster and how does withdrawal feels or affect a meth user? You know if a meth user stops using for a while or let's say a day or two.
@@muchachitachinita Depression and sleep with an extreme negative energy reserve. That's why abstinence is so difficult, and the desire to acquire more so powerful. If you go there, you will eventually wish you hadn't. You'll think you've been dealt with by Satan himself, and I'm not a theist. I've been clean 19 years, so that's an old chapter in my life.
Meth and opiate use is like buying pleasure with a credit card; all fun and games until time to make the lump sum re-payment.
I dated a meth addict. She always went back to meth lol. I have no idea where she's at today, but I've never seen anyone so addicted to one thing
imagine dating a junkie 🤦🏿♂️ i hope you learned not to do it again
Sad
stop dating druggies kid lol
interesting, I've had a similar experience
Lol
Poor girl I know she can do it I used to be a heroin addict was sober for 8 years and relapsed so I know the struggle is real but have been clean now for 5 years and am never going back, I hope she's living her best life
Hope you are still clean! Stay strong 💪
@@khalilwilliams3176 thank you Khalil yes still clean and never going back now but it definitely wasn't easy....thank you for your kind words of encouragement
@@sweetandsavoury Love to hear that!
“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”
2 Peter 3:9 NIV
ROMANS 10:9-11 “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame”
Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.””
Luke 19:10
God wants us to believe in His One and Only Son, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, who died for our sins :D When we truly believe in our hearts that Jesus is the Son of God, who died for our sins so we could have eternal life with God, we are saved, and have life in Jesus Christ ❤️
Jesus genuinely loves you, and always waits for you to come to Him 💕
Hey, how are you doing now?
I tried it 3 times. Just didn’t like it. Maybe I’m weird. Prayers to those who struggle.
Why did you try? You don’t know about what will happen?
@@Hsftlabb clearly nothing happened if they haven't done it since, What *could* happen is the right thing to say rather than *will*
@@Hopper-gn2ejyou’re talking to a retard
Some things I think just won’t mix with certain people no matter how addictive like me I know cigs aren’t meth but I’ve smoked cigs here and there and at one point was smoking them every break with co workers but when I left that job or stopped I never had an urge what so ever to smoke them after
@@JOK3RC4RDxthat’s how it be my dad and my friends dad both didn’t like meth when they first did it but kept doing it and got hooked randomly some addictions u gotta force yourself into lol it’s weird
Havnt used for years now and I still dream about it
I got high last week haha
@@UncleTwoSixlol hows it going now then
You can tell she’s done some reflecting no doubt
I did it once and it felt so damn great but the next day I was utterly depressed. I'd rather just do mdma every 2 months or so
U sir need help. I pray for you 🙏🏿
@@obinnadimel198 I don't do drugs anymore thank you very much
I feel like shit rn im staying away from it
I've been clean 19 years after doing it for about 3 1/2 years and still have an occasional dream about trying to hide a bag somewhere, or forgetting where I put it. Lol. It does get better with time (never thinking about it ) but not 100%. I'm at 98% and that's ok. I was fortunate to have never been busted. Important thing is to find something positive to occupy your free time and become as educated as you reasonably can about everything.
Stay strong friend.
Bro you literally wrote my experience even now I just forget about the packet I myself placed few mins back. I am ashamed but at the same time I do have the courage to say that I have been using the shirt for like a while for almost 5 years I like it's really been hard to cope up with this addiction and get over it you know. Maybe I am just waiting for some Angel to appear from the sky suddenly and restricts me. Or may be the death Angel who would definitely take me along with him ha ha
My grandmother told me as a kid if I didn't want to be an alcoholic then never, ever take a drink. If I didn't want to be a drug addict then never, ever use drugs. I took the advise and despite major back problems and terrible pain, I never use anything. Amazing woman.
Great advice.
Read/listen to John Sarno healing back pain
Praying for you! Jesus can set you free
I had be hospitalized in 2019 just for being too high on weed. Can’t imagine being high on a hallucinogenic drug. Terrifying.
It dont make you hallucinate lol. If you stay up past 3 days you do that would be the persons fault whos taking the drug. If u do the drug sleep and youll act just fine lol.
My whole life I've dealt with addiction... But it's always the people I love. My uncle... Then my step dad...my friends...My ex husband is addicted to heroine. I have worked with drug addicts and dealt with it for so long. It's killing me watching the people I love the most always die or lose their livelihood to drugs. Now I'm dealing with my daughter's meth addiction... And I'm just so dang tired of it. Addiction doesn't just suck out the life of the addict but everyone who's involved with that addict. It's like a contagious cancer of depression, chaos, and sadness. The worst part is that this "chemical" response is so strong in their brain... They are willing to hurt you and everyone else to get it. I don't understand why anyone ever even tries drugs knowing that it can cause so much pain and destruction.
have u ever heard of something called mental illness and self harm
Lord have mercy upon us 🙏🏾
Its hard, you can do it
Poor woman 🥺
Fml there's no hope. Friend relapsed , then sent to prison after ten years.... best advice ever heard - Believe you can do it.
You got this, friend. Do it for your Lizard
Yeah thats right way! I feel the same gotta survive this shit and live happy life beside my family:) stay strong ❤
every recoverying meth addict ever is gonna say its the worst addiction
& we put them in prison instead of rehab smh .
Probably because of all the stealing and crime these addicts committed just for the money to get high. A gram of heroin will only get you a few hours in jail.
"minor drug offenders fill your prison's you dont even flinch, all our taxes paying for your wars against the new non rich ." 🎶
I have a better option all drug users should be taken to a very remote island shark infested waters let the drug cartel take their poison directly to them this way they will not be affecting decent Society they can do all the drugs they want over there
@@mariopuzo4509 the best metal band of all time. System of a down prison song.
It really put things in perspective when she said that she has dreams about crystal meth. I couldn't help but wonder if she means that she's dreaming of experiencing feelings of euphoria and fun associated with high of crystal meth use, or if she meant it in a more literal and direct sense, as if the dreams themselves are created imageries of available and accessible crystal meth of which to use.
she is talking about having literal dreams that include vivid scenes of her using meth. its a common thing for lots of former meth addicts, especially for the first 3 months sober.
Omg I pray to all the angels and saints this women was delivered and living a new life with health love and joy!!!
I have tried it twice and if someone ask will you do it again and yes i will but not more then two day straight belive me after two days all the rush and energy will be over
You must have done the cheap cut up shit. I knew people 20 years ago that could stay awake 2 weeks on the stuff, and act like Mr. Roboto towards the end. They would be completely hallucinating and watching shadow people appear and escape under doors, and be completely out of their freaking minds. One guy panic dialed 911 and told the operator Gazoo was on his shoulder. Of course that was a considerable quantity of product without going into details.
How are you now?❤
Not for me I’m on day 3 feel incredible
dated a girl, she got clean and told me she never gonna do it and it will destroy her life but when she got out after two days she was back and i had to leave her........
The longest I have ever been clean is 6 months... but at this point I think it's been a few weeks
For a second i thought that was my mom
99% of meth users end up wearing orange .
Well shit. My odds aren't looking to great. Hopefully you're wrong though because I'm surrounded by tons of meth addicts with years of sobriety. I hope I prove your statistic wrong.
@@kylewatson6890how were they able to quit
When you see addicts after getting off the stuff for a while you realize how much it will mess you up if you do it again
11 years free. Still think about it every day.
I was addicted to prescription opioids! I’ve been clear for a while now. But the first 3-4 months I would dream I was taking pills almost every night. Lol. Now they’re gone! But it was a trip!
FOUR years clean I still think about it dream about it, but I know it can cost me my life!!😢
6 years sober and I can still smell it and taste it down my throat.
I have dreams about it to me when I have been clean
I’m so sorry
Imagine never feeling good again because your brain can not process dopamine anymore? Scary.
Meth does not make you physically dependent on it. Your body DOES not need it like it does Heroin.
And no , meth is not the worst addiction.
Since august 10 , I didn’t use meth .At first week I started to dream about it everyboday but after 2 week it’s gone and I feel so happy since then . I cant stay in the same situation . It sad when u know u are destroying ur self and ur mind but still doing it because of an addiction . I don’t wanna throw away my life because of that shxt . And I come to think of it why don’t I just stop using and go get a good job , getting married , have some kid that love u imagine how beautiful is it? That the reason I stop using that .
I remember having a dream about weed when I ran out 😢
Hit up 👆 the handle..He ships 🍄🍫💊💨………
Same bro it feels silly when crystal meths the subject but styll 😂
Weed addicts are worse.
opiates are physically addictive -coke/ meth etc are phytologically addictive - you just stop ,you wont die , alcohols worse than meth -obviously this girls experience is quite limited but shes not lying meth is the wost addiction shes come across so far and i hope she keeps it that way
Alcohol is worse than meth? 😳🫤
@@Kayjay7750 alcohol was worse withdrawals than meth. When I come down from meth I just sleep. Alcohol can easily kill you.
However meth is far more taxing on the cardiovascular system. In just 3 years I went from being able to run mini marathons to barely being able to run a mile.
Idk I've done all the drugs in the book, but meth was the only one that grabbed ahold of me. Everyone has a different drug of choice though.
yes it’s all fun and games until you realise you can’t function without😩
Was a alcoholic for 7 years and I've also tried clear twice. Alcohol is a very bad drug, but meth is uniquely evil in that it convinces you it's benefits your life and you have the ability to control it's power. It's almost like a dark magic and once I realized that I decided not to use it again. Stay safe
All depends on the person. I've had stints where I was hooked on opiates, alc, meth and Coke and meth was the hardest for me to kick. I could have a bottle of any alc and it would go months untouched. I've drank many times but I've never enjoyed it. I know people who tried meth and hated it and are alcoholics. Addiction looks the same for everyone no matter the drug but in my opinion meth ruins your life faster than any drug from what I've seen. I still think opiates are worse because of the overdoses.
Anybody know where she’s at now? Not to be rude but i hope she served a few years in prison. I say this because a lot of those people get out and end up staying clean because they’ve went without it for so long they don’t even crave it anymore how they used to. i hope she’s somewhere happy & healthy, she deserves it💜
Wow I have dreams about amphetamine,methadone and all stuff I abused.On a scale its like driving your car flooring all the way from A -B..You dunno what youre dealing with till that very moment when it sqeshes you like you are nothing.
Is there anyone who tried it and hated it ???
Me personally at the age of 22 i currently have a fentanyl and meth addiction problem i snort both meth helps me when im dope sick i wish i would have never put a straw to my nose especially with fentanyl its the worse and the most deadliest drug you can ever touch yeah meth is terrible also but id rather do that than fentanyl anyday because you dont get sick from meth it just makes you depressed but fentanyl omg yeah you feel awesome when your high but when your coming off of it its like the flu but way way worse its literally makes you feel like your gonna die and just give up but i cold quit once so i could do it again but the pain gets so bad to where you just want a small line just to feel better for awhile because nobody wants to be in so much pain for 4 days straight
I used heroin during my first two years of h.s., but I made myself go through the sickness after every time, because I didn't want to have to use just to feel better and I didn't want to develop an addiction so it was a reminder why not to keep chasing the high. After a while the sickness wasn't worth the high.
It's crazy to think people suffer 30+ years instead of a few days of pain. Chronic pain is nearly impossible to treat without pain killers. I lose it to 24/7 pain after a week or so, to be completely honest. I feel for so many people who get out of the hospital wanting more.
If u make the things u love a priority and eat sleep and take care of urself on it that wont happen. That only happens to people who dont care about their life.
Insane ignorant comment😂😂😂 some ppl are extremely easily addicted to things. Ive been addicted to videogames, weed, gambling, and XTC, i come from a. Good home with the best parents, supportive family and im the only random one thats just fully hooked on stuff, ppl just be different bro
Im 10 months clean. Went to rehab for 6 months and am now doing some outpatient classes. Got my diploma through a program here in Alabama and about to start college in the fall. Anyone can get clean and stay clean. Remember, it's a mindset. They taught me to change my way of thinking, and now all of my energy goes towards doing positive thibgs to better my life and that alone makes me never want to go back to using or drinking again.
I also want this to me a success story
"... after time it will go away." Even if this be true in the case of every single former meth addict (and I haven't seen any evidence that it is), the length of time required to reach such a stage of recovery will undoubtedly vary from one individual to the next. I have known meth addicts who were clean for years and still had cravings, but others who did not. Some have quit meth simply by going to NA, others through other means of abstinence, like rehab or jail.
EVERY aspect of addiction, treatment, recovery, etc., is going to be influenced -- even if only slightly, but sometimes very heavily -- by individual differences in personality and so on. Genetics must be accounted for along with environment; a meth addict is a unique human being just like anybody else. There are no universal solutions, but rather only general rules, averages, probabilities, and outliers.
Recovery is possible for every meth addict, I think. The question is how and how long. Obviously, current treatment options need to be expanded and built upon, and new approaches experimented with until we get more innovations and breakthroughs, because the meth crisis is still raging. Finally: what about PREVENTION?
Stop talking about how strong it is, just like running a race, keep going, don't give up, it's tough, but you'll do it.focus on how it's all behind you, the rest of life in front of you
Ermm, did she really just say that...87 and 27 years sober😂😂😂 no such thing as an old addict like that. So the old gal started using when??? Fug off love, pull the other one, it's got bells on it🤦♀️ obvs her recovery isn't going well. She's deluded.
My aunt was addicted to Morphin. The drug was prescribed to her by a doctor when she was in her 30's and she continued getting the prescription until the doctor passed away and my aunt was in her late 60's. By 70, she had no choice but to sober up. My aunt lived to be 83. She looked like an old addict but Morphin didn't kill her right away. It did cause her to lose her hair, to become swollen in her legs, she lost her teeth and was wrinkled in her 40's, and her eyes sunk into her skull. She looked like a walking skeleton from the waist up but she had no leg definition, her knees were no longer visible with the bloating. Her legs were tubular but not fat because she was so underweight.
And on what basis do you make your assumptions? Your point is moot.
I tried meth for about a few months. Didn’t like it to much. My buddy actually gave me some. Like a good amount. A big chunk of rock. Anyway I tried it one day. And didn’t really like it. So I just left it there. Then Covid hit. And I was watching breaking bad. And I remembered I had this meth. So I busted it out and did it for a few months. I don’t know how much is to much as I had never did it. But I thought I was gonna have a heart attack a few times. I didn’t sleep for a few days. And yeah after a while u start seeing stuff. I was trying to sleep and I was seeing evil images. Which is weird cause I’m not into religion or satanic stuff. But there it was clear as day.
Well you were lucky to see that, to scare the living daylights outta you. Others aren't so lucky, you know demons can hide themselves as angels. That's what instant pleasure is.
I wonder what is harder to give give up ...
Meth or Heroin ??
The relapse probability with heroin is about 80%. The relapse probability with meth is about 92%.
Heroin because people get deathly sick when they stop. They can actually die during withdrawal
Alcohol
@@makaylahoag5272 its unlikely you will die from heroin withdrawal if you're in detox being monitored and have the proper care. in terms of physical withdrawal heroin is worse but once you're off of it, the cravings are nowhere near as strong as meth. there are people sober for 10 years who still end up running right back to meth. its because meth becomes associated with everything pleasurable and it becomes everything you ever wanted, you never forget that feeling.
Never done either but I’d say heroin. Bc you feel like total shit from the withdraws. Like they’re supposed to be extremely painful and miserable af. Meth withdraws on the other hand just makes you feel extremely depressed.
Sahaj Samadhi meditation is what you guys need.
63 days sober is nothing, esp. If you've used drugs for a long time.. I'm only saying that bc, your brain at 63 days is likely still not recovered at all, and u still have urges and temptations/ thoughts to use all the time.. like she's saying.. some ppl can even have panick attacks and other symptoms for months maybe even a year or more, after stopping meth... it is so addictive that, most ppl literally become addicted after the first use..
God Bless ❤️🙏❤️

As a 4 year meth addict, I'm genuinely grateful I'm not an alcoholic.
As an alcoholic meth user, the alcohol really is the most destructive thing out there, too acceptable n available
@@reefrisntreal8675 yeah, no. alcohol is bad, but meth is much worse
With alcohol you can literally kll someone or yourselves in ONE NIGHT Talk about long term? welp Bad news there's no long terms You can dye from Alcoholic Congestion too or Even Worse Cirrhosis so yeah it's million times worse
Alcohol takes your liver, meth takes your soul
@@smokinlion8889 they both do
easy to say compared ,, just do one day at a time

@@jimlewis2395cigarette cravings are bad but I imagine hard drug cravings linger much longer or forever.
I quit smoking and had cravings for a couple of years. My husband quit a few years after I did and he still has cravings 15 years later. If he could, he would go back to smoking. I can't imagine meth or heroin being any easier to quit. So maybe the cravings don't go away. Learning to focus on other things will help. Hobbies are a better substitute for addiction.
