Meth is the devil

Hi my name is Tammy. I am 38yrs old. My husband Jason is 32yrs old. We both are recovering meth addicts. We had a great marriage until meth. I don't know how we made it thru. We both should be dead. We lost everything. our home, familys and ourselves. The fighting was unbeliveable daily he would drag me around by my hair hit me with whatever he got his hands on, but belive me I dished right back I remember hitting him with baseball bats 2x4's and whateverelse I could get my hands on.

We never argued before meth so this was all new to both of us but the dope controlled us. We always said the other one had the problem not me. We both had a problem. It took Jail to wake me up and the thought of losing me to wake him up.

I found God and he followed. Everyone has there own recovery but me my self could not have done with out he LOVE of GOD. He is my strength. Who ever needs help on both sides an addict of loved one of an addict put your faith and love in God and he will do the rest. It's still an everyday battle but we have been clean since 7/31/08. I've been on both sides as a mother and a wife and now a recovering addict.

Meth is the devil. I never understood how people could walk away from everything until I tried and instantly became an addict.
My mom and mother-in-law Prayed for us daily. Don't give up on yourself or your loved one. Good Luck and God Bless!!
--Tammy

Crystal Meth

Crystal Meth Addiction Symptoms and Signs by Crystal Smith

Crystal Meth is simply methamphetamine, which is very popular among drug users. This is generally crystalline in structure, whose street names are "icy" and "cristy". This is a very addictive type of drug. Statistics have shown that 42 percent of those who have tried it for the first time feel the need to try it once again. This drug affects the body mentally and physically.

Crystal Meth addiction is an issue that has been plaguing the modern world. It is known as the intense, almost maddening urge to consistently look for a substance at a prolonged period of time. It never ceases, and the need to acquire drug becomes uncontrollable that the person may not be bothered about the physical consequences that it can bring, such as severe sickness and even death.

One sign of Crystal Meth addiction is a patient's firm belief that he is unable to fully function when he doesn't take drugs. In the long run, the person takes more than what his body can take and damages his physical and mental conditions. The drug then becomes very addictive, and affects the central nervous system largely. In fact, Crystal Meth triggers physiological conditions faster than any other drug can.

The use of Crystal Meth will make a person distance himself from other people. This alienation will keep him emotionally remote, and thus result to the feeling of depression resulting to manic behavior and irritability. The effects of Crystal Meth generally send out a sense of despair and depression to the user.

Drug usage takes a heavy toll on the physical conditions of the body. These will soon show up and the drug addict will become pale, lose weight, and his appearance will become dull. A user may also start to lose interest on regular hygiene such as taking a bath or combing the hair.

Crystal Meth rehab centers have professionals who can create programs for individual needs. Steps should be taken to revive an addict who has fallen prey to drugs. Since it is almost impossible for the addict himself to treat his addictions, it is the role of Crystal Meth rehabs to correct his life and completely lead him away from this problem.

Most commonly, Crystal Meth addiction treatment programs starts with detoxification. The harmful drug substances that remain inside the body should be washed off, to keep the body from accumulating future diseases. This can be done in a Crystal Meth detox center. Different medicines are used during this process, depending on the severity of the body conditions.

It is never too late to come out of a drug addiction. Detoxification is followed by an aftercare treatment for Crystal Meth dependency, which can help a person renew his life by turning back from past addictions. This is usually done in a residential setting, to completely settle the withdrawal of the patient. This process is done to be able to maintain the abstinence of the patient from drugs. It is also during this process when a person is taught of the exercises and techniques to keep away from drug cravings whenever they occur.

Crystal Meth or Methamphetamine

Methamphetamine, or crystal meth, is a dangerous, highly addictive drug. It's cheap, widely available and making inroads among young people. Sooner or later, your kids could be asked to try it.


When that happens, you want them to be able to say a firm "no" to this dangerous drug. Your opinion is going to make a big difference for them. Knowing where you stand can give them the confidence - and the facts - they need to make the right choice.

As one parent put it - "Where would I rather my daughter got her information about crystal meth? From someone trying to sell it to her or from me?"

Studies consistently show that kids whose parents talk to them about the dangers of drugs are significantly less likely to use illicit drugs than kids whose parents do not.

You don't need to be an expert to start a conversation

You can make the conversation as casual as you want. You don't need to have all the facts; looking up the answer to your kids' questions together can be a helpful part of the process.

The important thing is to be honest about how you feel and to communicate a message clearly:

Crystal meth is a dangerous, addictive drug that can do permanent damage. I don't want you using it because I love you and I care what happens to you.

This can be the first of many ongoing conversations you have with your kids about crystal meth and other drugs over the coming months and years.

Meth users

My brother is a Meth addict. This has been going on for a year-and-a-half now and I feel so alone, angry, resentful, sad etc. I have seen what Meth has done personally to, my once awesome brother! Meth has taken my brothers soul and my brother told me last year the brother I knew is gone and this is the life that was meant for him. I am so mad that this drug was invented!

This drug is the devil's dream drug that takes souls and leaves us with a mess to try to live with. If Meth users think they are only hurting themselves and they don't bother anyone else, they are wrong. They're out getting high and numbing their pain while their sister, brother, mother, father and the whole family sits, day in and day out, trying to find help for them. Just to live and breathe because they love that person so much. I have to get up with my broken heart every morning and wonder if today is the day my family and I will be preparing for my brother's funeral. I hate Meth so much because it is not only destroying my brother but it has destroyed our once close family! We pray too, but there are days that you just feel like giving up!

My brother used to be so into his family and he was an achiever. My brother bought his first house when he was 21. He owned a very nice home, car, truck, boat, and many other things. He was a very preppy, well-kept, clean young man. He was so tight with his money and I realized it was because he had goals and dreams. He married a beautiful girl and had a beautiful baby boy. What more could anyone want? The family started noticing changes and patterns. For example, he would not go into work on Mondays and his wife said he never seemed to sleep all weekend. He would be redoing his kitchen, painting, yard work, anything he could do to stay busy, and never wanted to eat. He couldn't sleep and everyone knows that isn't normal. I don't know how my brother got involved with Meth and I am sure I will never know.

My brother is only 30 years old. He admitted he was doing Meth last summer, just so he could finish his projects around the house and prepare the nursery for the baby. He said he could stop any time he wanted. Well, our family wouldn't hear of it and got him into detox and eventually rehab. Thank goodness my brother had an excellent job and great insurance. We pressured my brother to go which we now know was a mistake. An addicted person has to want to go on their own free will and lose everything they have ever worked so hard for before they actually realize they are spinning out of control. My brother got out of rehab and he went full force into Meth. It was as if he was trying to punish us. It still doesn't make sense to me.

My brother is associating with the most disgusting, filthy people I never knew existed until now. But Meth doesn't care who you hang out with. I have seen what types of people Meth users are, and it scares me. I feel as if I walked into hell. I am not a judgmental person, but anyone that has seen what I have, would be frightened. His house is in foreclosure, his beautiful wife and baby left, he lost his job, all because of a stupid drug. Meth has taken the place of me and my family in his life. I am so angry, but I won't give up on praying for him.

The Meth user is numbing and masking their pain and the only time they feel anything is when they come down and search for more Meth. We feel the pain all the time. My brother isn't actually dead, but he is gone. I will never see my brother the way he used to be. Meth doesn't care who you are, how much money you have, or anything else. You try it once and Meth will take control of your life.

addicted to Meth

There was a time when I knew my little girl. I knew she liked unicorns and fairies, cookies and milk, and birthdays with cake. But now...now I don't know her at all. 

She got hooked on Meth. I always thought it wouldn't happen to my daughter. That she was smart and nothing bad would happen to her. It turns out that I didn't know anything at all.


We thought our daughter was on her way to great things. While we had a rough time with her when she was 15-16yrs old, things had smoothed out and she had close to a 4.0 GPA in High School. She had a semester of college completed before graduating high school and had a scholarship.

Our daughter recently turned 20. She moved out to live with her boyfriend about a year and half ago. About 9 months ago her boyfriend got fired from his job. Soon after that he lost a lot of weight and we thought he was just bummed out about his job. About a month later, our daughter lost a bunch of weight (she's tiny anyway). Both of them began getting acne on their face. She quit school saying no classes were being offered that she needed to complete her degree.

We noticed subtle changes in her, like being on the internet/ebay a lot, talking about them buying a house together that cost over $100,000 when neither of them had a job, jumping from topic-to-topic and speaking fast. Then she began coming in late for work. Within a month and a half, she was late over 20 times; not just a few minutes late, but sometimes hours late. She was working for me at the time and on at least three occasions her mother had to go to her apartment to wake her up. The morning I went she was soaked in sweat. I couldn't get her to go to the doctor. I ended up firing her about 5 months ago...now neither she nor her boyfriend has a job. She claimed they were fixing things for people or buying broken items and fixing them to sell for a profit.

About 3-4 months ago, her hair started falling out. She claimed she burned her head and pulled it out herself. We knew we had to do something but were unsure how to proceed. With encouragement and support from friends, we intervened and took her to inpatient psychiatric treatment. To do this we had to fill out affidavits so she could be committed. Fortunately she signed herself in voluntarily. At first she denied using Meth, then she admitted to having used it in the past. When confronted that it was still in her system she said she could control her use and could quit anytime. She tested positive for Meth and had lost about 25 pounds. She had the "Meth look" (sunken in eyes, weight loss, hair loss, gaunt/tired).

She is now in residential drug rehab. She tells us she loves us and knows we did this because we love her and care, but she is currently refusing to let us visit her. Much to our disappointment, she is allowing her boyfriend to visit. She admitted to us that they are/were both using. We had to get an exparte' against him and our junior-high aged son is terrified; checking locks and always looking over his shoulder. Our hope is that with continued therapy she will gain some insight and make better decisions, but I know it's a long road to recovery. I started going to a support group. We are seeking guardianship over her until she gets through all of the treatment. We know that the chance of relapse is high, we aren't fooling ourselves, but we feel we need to do everything in our power to help her. Beyond that it's up to her.

It breaks my heart to see the young lady that I love so much, that was a happy, healthy little girl, grow up to abuse and become addicted to Meth. I despise Meth.

crystal meth addicting illegal drugs

buylegalhighsreviews   by Ryan Gordon

I have been in the street drugs game for about 10 years now. I've done the really hard-core stuff from crystal meth, several breeds of marijuana, heroin, isobutyl nitrite, hash et cetera almost everything high-producing, I've usedit!

But true-to--life duties and obligations in addition to health issues started popping up and as much as I derived pleasure from them? I had to reduce down and finally vanish them out of my life! It's easier than you imagine- but only if you are aware of the not-illegal, non-destructive counterpart of these addicting illegal drugs

So okay... I'm no longer an illicit drugs user and that's an attainment I derive pleasure to brag about. It wasn't continuously painless, but I had to tidy my act! My family is depending on me to take care of them! I had to be there ALIVE and sober to do what I must do to go on, principally now that were in an economic slump, trying to survive in this horrible an economic collapse , I need to heave on all my resources!

But, the unattractive reality is...

I never stopped craving it! Truth be said from time to time, I still feel the desiring to get back to my former addiction. And let me tell you, it doesn't get any easier illegal drugs are all surrounding you!

I don't consciously go looking to acquire illegal recreational drugs any more, and I try to walk away every opportunity I get...

but I'm only human!
There are periods the temptations get irresistible! I just feel the need to succumb to the desires of desiring to get high.

And that is why I'm writing you this article, 4:30 at dusk.

You see, the truth is old habits die hard! It becomes more so when Friends around you likes to party, and I'm being assaulted with so many different sets of temptations that just DOESN'T stop! It just gets sooo unbearable at times!

You see, its human nature that the more you try to suppress a passion, the more the craving intensify , pressure gets bottled up so strongly, you just find yourself OVERWHELMED WITH DESIRE to get this, and at some point, no matter how hard you try to resist? You have no choice but to give in. Unless...

Instead of FORCING to suppress a want, that's been intensifying all these time? You find a better, healthy,decent alternative to the dire stuff! Something that you can without problems give in to, all without having feelings of guilt-without feeling defeated.

So when this previously unknown term "legal buds, legal weeds, herbal highs, legal highs" kept on coming up in conversations with my friends, who were well experienced in so many types of illegal drugs and had an almost boundless supply of Triple A- stuff, and still chose to use these legal alternatives, I began paying attention!

In my mind, if its good enough for my friends, then it's good enough for me!

Some of my friends just use it to mix-it with the item they were using. Some of them take legal highs bare.

They can appreciate how far-reachingly intense these legal weeds are and some of them ,we're to be honest, scared to share the secret to just anyone. They want to keep this all to themselves, greedy #$#@! They're scared the government could start cracking down on these, if it gets to prominent.

Initially it didn't make sense and seemed too good to be true! How can the government just let powerful, potent stuff like this to exists? Maybe there must be something wrong with it?

Now that I've personally tasted the effects? It just blew me away and was forced to agree with their assessment 100%!

It's a surprise these have been around for several decades. But because they were insider secrets, only known to the insiders from these native tribes, who have awareness of and have been basking them, have been using these to enter freaky states of mind for their shamanic, magick rituals et cetera... Reason why in spite of their potency? They did not catch on like its prominent yet banned illegal recreational drugs cousin you know about today.

Lets see, you get:

Powerfully Intoxicating yet authorizedand non-addictive intoxications?

Easy to buy, none of the intrinsic hazards in drugdealing (its literally as easy as ordering Pizza).

Does not show up on any drug test, so it does not pose a threat to career, reputation, school et cetera.

The ability for anyone of legal age, to indulge without being stopped nor guilt, free from the negative side-effects of illegal recreational drugs i.e. addictions, jail time etc.

In my honest evaluation, this is the one-true-veritable (dare I say FUN) solution to the world drug addiction pandemic!

crystal meth addiction treatment

Planning A Crystal Meth Treatment In Alabama

Author: Todd Lange

Crystal meth is a derivative of methamphetamine. If methamphetamine can be considered to be one of the most addictive drugs known to us, then crystal meth can be easily included in this category. In fact, being a more concentrated form of amphetamine than methamphetamine is, the chances of crystal meth being more dangerous of the two are quite high.

There are several centers for crystal meth treatment in Alabama, most of them following the rehab treatment policy. These centers are finding a high rate of admissions of late, which is making the issue seem to be more problematic than ever before. In addition, the age of the people that are getting into crystal meth treatment in Alabama is also quite low; it generally lies in the range of 18 to 25 years.

This makes it clear that crystal meth addiction is a youth-centric addiction in Alabama and that makes matters more serious because the younger the people are when they get into a crystal meth habit, the greater are the chances that they will enter into a full-blown addiction as they grow older, and the more difficult it will become to treat their condition.

The first step you have to be sure of when you are planning a crystal meth treatment in Alabama is whether the person is really in a crystal meth addiction or not. This can be difficult to find out, because several drugs have similar symptoms. If the patient shows a temporarily boosting effect such as feeling more happy than required, having a tendency to work surprisingly more, looking more bright eyed and cheerful than normal and having an elevated blood pressure, then it could be indicative of a crystal meth addiction.

You must read for detailed signs and symptoms of crystal meth addiction which you will easily find on the Internet. Visiting federal websites such as those of the organizations such as Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, National Institute of Drug Abuse and National Clearinghouse can help you in learning more about these symptoms.

Get in touch with a counselor on substance abuse treatment in Alabama who will help you plan the addiction treatment. This is also important because it helps confirm whether it is actually a crystal meth addiction or not. The counselor will tell you how you can plan an intervention program to get the person out of the denial phase and into a treatment center. You might want to use an intervention specialist.

Using an intervention specialist, also known as an interventionist, for crystal meth treatment in Alabama is a good idea because they can accurately guide you on what you must do at every step of the treatment, including which treatment center you must choose for the patient's particular condition. They become of invaluable assistance because they will also help you convince the patient to accept that there is a problem and to seek treatment for the same.

Your next step, i.e. when the patient is convinced about getting into treatment, is to choose a treatment center. The interventionist and the substance abuse counselor both will guide you on this, but you have to make sure that the treatment center you are selecting has special expertise for dealing with meth rehab treatment. They must ideally have a license stating the same. You will also do well if you check the credentials of the treatment center as to since how many years they are providing crystal meth treatment. Check also the credentials of the treatment providers. Ideally, they should be qualified from an organization such as the American Society of Addiction Medicine.

Distance is not quite important when you are planning a crystal meth treatment in Alabama. If there is a good treatment center with a good program in another city, you may consider enrolling the patient for a program there. Since most meth treatments are inpatient and will go on for several weeks, this will not be much of a problem. You can always shift the patient to a local center when the aftercare therapy gets underway.

You must remember that at every stage the crystal meth treatment proves to be more difficult than any other form of drug treatment. It is definitely much more difficult to convince a patient of this form of treatment, the detox program is quite long and a very elaborate counseling program needs to be used in which the family will also be expected to participate. Even so, aftercare is quite important, because there is always a very high chance of relapse with this kind of treatment.

Meth, speed, chalk

It's time to Fight Back--Meth Doesn't have a place in America by Susan Smith Alvis

The war is on and no one is coming out to fight against it. No one seems to protest and few warriors are taking up the cause. Parents are leaving their young and our youth has become the product of destruction. Families are waiting for the news they are certain to receive as hearts break into millions of pieces.

Lives are lost and will never return to any level of normalcy again while cities across the world pretend to put forth enough effort to satisfy an enraged but scared public. The truth stands firm. There's no easy way to end the rampant spread of methamphetamines.

Meth, speed, chalk; give it any name you want it's all the same. After all, this drug has become the drug of choice and its name isn't as important as what it is doing to our friends, families, and communities. Meth kills. It destroys lives. With methamphetamines, it isn't if the addict will lose their battle with addiction, it is only a matter of when. It is a drug with a willful mind and it intends to take the souls of many who experience its phenomenal power. It's the user's god of choice.

The meth pipe is worshipped like an idol and the meth user will covet it more than family. Respect it more than themselves and fight till the death just to find another fix. It is the reason many meth users rise in the morning and why even more of them leave the house in the first place. Meth is alluring. It calls their name.

When you hear about meth, you need to know the facts behind the drug and you must realize this is the drug that can and will take many prisoners who will never escape even if they wanted to do so. Make few mistakes about it, most do not want to live without meth in their lives once they've taken their first hit or had their first taste of it.

Regardless of what you will ever hear in the media or read about on your own, understand methamphetamine addiction is a real problem and it isn't one with a simple solution. You will hear conflicting stories surrounding meth. The media will paint you a very vivid picture about methamphetamines one day and be forced to retract their statements the next but don't be fooled. There is a widespread and universal crisis on the hands of community leaders and government officials and they know it.

America is discovering that many of its citizens are this country's own worst enemies. Government officials choose to turn the other cheek and look the other way. It will remain this way until one of them or one of their own meet an untimely death because they fall victim to a meth addict. Maybe they'll meet death when the delusions of a meth addict force them into a head-on collision. Maybe, just maybe someone will pay attention after someone else, another innocent with the right political connections falls into death's trapdoor. Until then, families and communities--you're on your own. No one cares about your heartache and don't turn to law enforcement for help. No one will be there to help.

Today, millions of people are at the mercy of the crazed lunatics that choose meth over everything else and put their drug at the forefront of their lives. The consequences are brutal because our nation is under fire. Our enemy is a faceless drug that washes through the body of many while taking over the minds occupying the territory.

It's time to take action. Today, it's time to insist on stiffer laws. It's time to take away the power from those who want you to feel powerless. It's time to take back the lives that meth has destroyed and make sure the war this drug has started comes to an abrupt end. However, no one can do it alone. Communities have to strike back and insist on tougher penalties for those who use and those who make Crystal Methamphetamines. Until then, no one will be safe from the reach of the drug that destroys, tortures, ruins, and defects--no one.
