I recently found out my wife has been using meth for over a year and it's heartbreaking knowing that she was spending all of her money on the drug, hanging around her "friends" for weeks at a time using it while I watched our son full-time and physically assaulting me when I confronted her. She is now in jail and I'm not bailing her out, I also applied for divorce recently because she clearly has her priorities in the worst place possible. When I met her friend from high school she began hanging around who was 26, had very few teeth, and was clearly tweaking and when she started to idolize him and talk about him constantly and they showed clear signs of being intimate via phone calls and texts and he would leave her messages like "Hey babe, I got the stuff, come over when you can and we can hang out" and her replying "give me a few minutes, I have to deal with my husband' prior to a fight the marriage is over as far as I'm concerned. This drug is the devil incarnate and the fact that it even exists angers me to a level I'd rather not admit. It turned my wife from a beautiful and loving woman into a monster who financially ruined us, cheated on me, neglected her child, quit her jobs, etc in such a short amount of time that it made my head spin. To say that I'm mad at the world right now would be an understatement because I thought our marriage would last until we were old and grey but she ruined everything over getting high and instead of putting work into our marriage she put work into destroying our lives.
I realized not too long ago that my wife was using meth, our money began to disappear, she took out large loans often she began to hang around bad people (some of which she obviously had cheated on me with to get the drug), she began to not care about my son or I and would get triggered over the smallest things, she developed severe dental pain out of the blue, she would be gone for days after a fight and then come back only to sleep for days on end, etc. My wife is now in jail after attacking me in front of our son and I just hope she can get the help she clearly needs but in all honesty, this has likely been going on for over a year and I have filed for divorce. I hope that someday she can clean up her act but it's doubtful because she considers her "friends" her family and she just goes back to them whenever she gets stressed out and the cycle repeats. I wasn't raised around meth so I had no idea about it until my father pointed out the signs to me after my wife and I visited them and he took me to the side and told me what was happening. I feel like an idiot for not realizing what was going on earlier, maybe I could have done more to prevent her downward spiral but I doubt it because she would just leave for her "friends" house when things got rough. I also am now aware she was having sex with random guys for the drug after seeing her phone after she was arrested and it's heartbreaking to say the least. Reading messages like "Hey babe, I got the stuff if you wanna come over later" and her replying "Give me a few minutes, I have to deal with my husband first" and them replying "okay" and then correlating the messages with the fights that were out of nowhere really put a perspective on things. She was never like this until a year ago when she reconnected with her best friend who has a history with meth use but stated he was "clean" and then soon after she started to say things like "I wish you were more like "John" [placeholder name] because he is a real man and knows how to earn money on the side and then she brought up wanting to have me go on "scrapping" runs with her friend and when I said no she got offended and stayed at her friends house for two weeks without contacting me. I have to be strong though because she chose the drug over our marriage and our son but it hurts like hell knowing that a drug can do this to a person and destroy their life. I'm now paranoid that I have STD's and am worried that the cigarettes we shared may have been contaminated with the drug as well. I wish meth was never a thing, the fact that this drug even exists pisses me off!
ADHD meds are amphetamine/dextroamphetamine NOT METHamphetamine. This is like saying CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) and CO (Carbon Monoxide) are the same thing even though different reactions make them and they have different effects on the body.
Cast the first stone. I have known addicts my whole life as I am also an addict, and this kindergarten level video doesn't cover anything except the stereotypical traits and signs of meth addiction. If you clowns ever read a book or see a program from some " authoritative " source , you instantaneously believe every word verbatim. Sure, some meth users show some of these signs . So do sufferers of schizophrenia, so do alcoholics, and so do people suffering from PTSD. Yet you and the rest of shit society always cast blame and pigeon hole all addicts into one type of person . This is not right. The path of an addict is already 1000 times more difficult than is the path of a sober person! When you also add the acceptable standard of discrimination and hate towards all illegal drug users from an entire society as a whole, an addict has almost zero chance at redemption or recovery. If you have never been on the receiving end of this abuse, then you have no right to speak about how easy it is to just pull yourself out of an impossible and terrible fate. I got out of the street, and I am slowly coming back to a life that once again has meaning and purpose. However , it's because of alcohol that I lost every single relationship that I had spent my entire 40 years building and strengthening, like you are supposed to do in this life. I never assaulted anyone. I never threatened anyone I never stole from anyone Nonetheless, in the end ,not a single fucking person from my old life, would even pick up the phone to answer me when I called them . It's an experience that I hope that none of you ever have to endure in your lifetime. I've been sober for 5 years now, and I only went to meetings in the beginning but I did this all by myself. It's lonely going through life all by one's self, though. Nothing is more expensive than regret. I dont think I can make it another year living without being around the people who once loved and cared for me. Why is there no redemption Forgiveness I hope that someone reads this and hears something that changes their decision to abuse and consume drugs and alcohol, because I am living proof of what is possible when you party your life away . Bosses fire you Wives and GFs cheat and leave you. Your neglected ( by you) children grow up and forget about the memories of how they once loved you and laughed at your funny faces you made when you were playing with them . Your family members will get old and die before you can say sorry to them for what you have done . Your reputation will forever be damaged like a quadriplegic in a wheelchair. You might get to a point of communication with past associates, but they will never trust you again.
Be patient; those who love you will show up. Whether they're people you know or those you have yet to meet. Stay strong, and congratulations on your sobriety!
AMEN to that,great job with your recovery,hang in there,dont give up,loved ones will come back around,youll even meet new people,new friends. Never forget or short change yourself,YOU HELPED YOU QIUT & CHANGE,GOD Bless You
They don’t even distinguish use and addiction. Plenty of people take it casually at parties or occasionally when doing a lot of work. Even in addiction, the main issue is low dopamine and energy, and after about a week the only main problem is cravings.
This is a bunch of hype and scare tactics mixed with a fact or two. It’s so wrong that people cannot get accurate scientific information about something so serious
Thank you for letting us know what to look for if we think our loved one is on drugs 😢

I wish i could help this person but you can't help someone who refuses there's a problem and denies hard evidence 😢
Classic addict

Actually my friend, prescription meth is called Desoxyn,and ADHD is pretty much the only thing it'll ever be prescribed for, though highly unlikely

Coming from all the people who have never seen it only read about it and definitely never tried it but act like they know more

Agreed
Just ask them
How? You spot a meth user litteraly a mile away😂
Hi
This is a bunch of hype and scare tactics mixed with a fact or two. It’s so wrong that people cannot get accurate scientific information about something so serious
This was one of the worse videos ever‼️😕😒😫🤷🏽♀️
