I'm sorry to hear that bro. Best thing to do is just keep praying brother and keep reaching out to someone. Sometimes we have to go through that quietness to find ourselves but it will only make u much more stronger bro.

I've been clean from meth since 2014, with one relapse in 2017. I shot it up and even started using heroin. It wasn't until my fiancee was shot and killed by a meth dealer that I finally stopped. It might not be the best advice but you have to recognize when you are at your lowest low, your cry for help could be your way of recognizing that. I'm here to talk if you still need advice

I just started here after the last time i smoked. Think about it like the very last chip in a potato bag, which helps to let go. In my experience, the other people are harder to resist and they will try to keep you trapped. The low hits hardest at first but keep your chin up and don't look back - there's no dragon. It'll melt your pretty face, and your brain.

I was a meth head. I still wish O could have a hit. The reason I don't, I will loose everything I worked for since I stooped. My job, cadillac, trust will be gone, and I risk going to jail yet again. Meth put my like on hold and tured it to dirt.

What kind of program and how long have you been using?
this is what worked for me. I was hooked on shooting heroine and cocaine, smoking meth and crack, everyday for 15 years. I went to treatment 12 times. Im a cronic relapser. Then this last run which ended 14 months ago took this
: 90 days in residential treatment cbt & dbt based (more fact and brain biology based) unlike aa or na. Not to discredit them, they just didn't work for me. followed by 6 months of soberliving and intensive out patient program 3 times per week 3 hrs per day. In addition, private therapy 2 twice per week 1 hr sessions. I cut all people, places and things out of my life. I do lots of selfcare. Nutrition, sleep, meds in check. Hope this helps. It takes a team, dont waste your time trying alone. Most people can't stop on their own. I tried for a solid 10 years. That only got me a wrap sheet and a bathroom i had to sleep in with another man for 5 years. Keeling reaching out and keel talking. You find little nuggets of gold here and there. Take what works for you and leave the rest.
Hey Zarren. It seems like there isn't any but there is hope. You can get clean and you NEVER have to use again. Go to an AA hall and get a Big Book. Replace every place it says alcohol with meth. The chemical does not matter. I almost died from drinking. Hit me up and you can pour your stuff on me. I will listen and try to help. Over 15 yrs now for me. If i can do it you can too.
Wishing you strength, guidance, and faith. I'm in a program and will graduate on Aug 8th. Let me know if you need someone to talk to. Take care.
Hello
Im new to this group .Im trying to find anything to help me stay away from alchohol . Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated
One thing that helps me... (not saying I'm cured at all) is to think about what you want your life to be like in the future. Do you want to be smoking, shooting up at 40 years old? Have no partner, no kids, live with other users, have no cash, no career???? No?? ..... Don't want that life???.... Did you envision your life like this when you were little? What was that vision?
You got this man. Trust me. 21yrs in prison and I've been out 3 yrs. On paper for another three. Drugs alcohol and prison are all I ever knew. I havent had a drink or drug in three years and a few 24 hrs. You just got to want it. And do whatever it takes to get it. Meetings spi sor steps. That's how you'll succeed
For me man I had to give it all to God. I'm 30 and I've been battling my addiction to meth since I was 24. I'm 55 days sober today and I have to give God the glory because he spoke to me in a sermon. You have to cut ties with ANYONE on it. There is too much temptation. I had to leave my fiance, move out and luckily she seems to be trying to pull herself out at this point which is great because we have a kid that doesn't need that type of life. Hang in there man... One day at a time, pray for strength. I'll keep you in my prayers whether you're a believer or not.
What do you have to keep you strong
