What can I do to STOP using Crystal Meth?

Question

I've been using Crystal Meth for about 8 months now, I can't stop using, and my brother drinks a lot. What can I do?

Answer 1

I used meth for 7 years abd my boyfreind used for 18 years.Me and him have now been clean for almost 29 weeks.All I can say is good luck cause meth is one of the most addictive drugs and the hardest to stop.Me and my boyfreind stopped with out any outside help and are doing it on our own because we have 4 kids and 1 on the way to take care of.I would say your best bet would be go into a rehab center and get professional help even though they say that out of 5 people who go to rehab for meth only 1 of them will stay clean.All I can say is good luck.Email me if you [e-mail]

Answer 2

go into rehab, drugs is not the answer to anything, its not worth losing your life or somebody close to you, can you imagine this:
Your mother is cooking all your favorites tonight, she's excited for dinner. In the middle of it, she gets a call, she picks it up, a womans voice tells her that her daughter is in the hospital and is in the er. She is totally dazed and confused, she turns off the oven, and rushes to the hospital. She thinks the worst the entire way. When she gets there, she finds out that she cannot see you yet. The doctor says it might be fatal. He says that she was driving and had a stroke. Your mother wasnt sure how such a young girl can have a stroke. What happened early that day was you were hanging out with friends, got really bored, and decided to get a high. When you were driving home, you got a stroke and crashed. You were rushed to the emergency room, the only thing keeping you alive was the recipitor mask. When your mother was finally allowed to see you, it was too late, flat. There was no more heart beat. Your mother thought she was the cause of it, confused, dramatized, she turned to alcohol.

would you really put your mother through so much pain? she brought you into this world, even though a couple of rough patches in your history, fights, arguements, but nothing worth losing a life. now she has to speak at your funeral, tell your real friends, your family, your boyfriend, that you had a drug problem, and lost your life to it. that the drugs were stronger than you and your body couldnt take it anymore.

Answer 3

Since meth is such an addictive drug, I'd say you definitely need in-patient rehab. After that, a 12 Step program would be a good idea because you will need constant support and reinforcement to stay clean.

I would suggest that if you get along with your other family members (not your brother!) that you seek their emotional support, as you enter rehab and afterward. If not, the 12 Step program will be even more important as a source of support.

Answer 4

drugs are hard to give up! the physical effects of withdrawal fade quicker than the mental: sobriety is a terrifying prospect i know, but it does get better and better. see a doctor, and call support groups. if you can get through the initial crash you can do anything! try antidepressants once you quit-they help stabilize the brain chemicals that have been messed up by the meths making you feel so depressed if you try and stop, until your brain can do it on its own.

you start to miss it less and less, the cravings fade, and it becomes a silly memory of how you once were. you will have to disconnect yourself from bad influences (even if this means your own brother, trust in his love that he would understand if sober-your life could depend on it) and potential drug replacements- although my poison wasn't meths, when i got clean i had to change my whole life to stay clean, i later also gave up alcohol as it was becoming a replacement problem!

it gets easier every day but the first steps are the hardest. sobriety is scariest thing in your position, but the sadness you feel when you try to stop is not because things are really that bad, its as unreal as the high from the drug, its just because chemicals have been temporarily messed up in your brain. honestly there is so much to enjoy once you are drug free! the day you quit is the start of your life, not the end!

Answer 5

You've done the first step, which is admitting you have a problem. I would suggest checking yourself into rehab and slowly work your way out of your addiction.

Answer 6

Enter a 12 step program.

If your desire for change is stronger than your desire for Meth, you'll succeed. Unfortunately, you may find you don't, when the rubber meets the road.

I wish you luck.
