Trying to quit meth
Looking for others that understand the struggle of kicking this meth addiction. I dont want to use anymore but I also dont want to do an inpatient program or 12-Step program. Those aren't viable options for me and neither has worked in the past so.
I need a sober buddy to connect with on a daily basis and we can offer each other support.
Something helpful I did stumble upon just today tho... A book i just downloaded for free on Kindle. It's called 'How to Quit Meth'. Just from reading the sample of the book I feel like this could be something that really works for me. You should check it out too.
Ive been using for about 2 months. Was on coke for years but I really want to stop it all now. All my addictions. Been to rehabs before. I just beed motivation everyday.
i relate to you, it’s my first day on this and I’m still using, worked from light drugs up harder and harder, I started using ice before work because I felt it made me perform well with no fatigue I said I wouldn’t let it get bad, now I haven’t been sober in weeks lucky to get two nights worth of sleep a week and even now I’m two days awake as I post, I know I meed to stop but there’s this part that kinda doesn’t. I need to find a way
I’ve been trying to kick this habit for a while now been going back and fort with relapse and recently I just used again please connect if you need accountability buddy in a daily basis.

Recovery is a rough road, but entirely worth it. I've had my own issues, and damaged myself pretty severely. Only clean 10 days currently, but have every intention of remaining that way.. again. I digress though. It's wholly possible, seek out help and support, leave any friends who still seek those things (in enough time away, you might possibly be able to reach a hand out to them, but recovery needs to be a bit selfish).. Learn to forgive yourself(something I'm still struggling with a bit) as we all make mistakes.
I quit uppers one day out of the blue.. Can't explain it. But I was addicted to speed.. Ice.. Blow.. Anything that made me go up.. For 2 years.
Meth has more mental addiction you won't withdrawal stay away from so call ed friends find a hobby an do that with a goal don't sit idle do something
I Feel like you do I have been to the 12 step N/A meetings and did my steps and I was just trying to make other people happy so I just did it for them and then I stopped for years and then was clean for about 3 yrs and started up again but it’s not something that my fiancé has knowledge of me doing at all HE IS SO AGAINST IT IN EVERY WAY HE HATES IT NEVER HAS DONE IT AND HE NEVER WILL! So I’m not only doing it but I’m hiding it and in that comes me Lying to him and I just hate myself for being that person I would love to have a buddy to talk to and help eachother with our using
