Don't do drugs.

Least of all meth.

Meth is extremely addictive and within a few months you will look and feel like hell.

Just don't do it.

Don't be stupid.

seriously, what do drug abusers see in those drugs?


They, least the ones I have talk to, say it is a credibility gap. People tell them don't do it they are bad for you but they are the same ones popping pills and getting drunk at lunch. T

They figure hey it looks like fun so why not. They see others seemingly getting away with it so they think why not me. By the time the side effects start kicking in it is too late. Many Meth heads I have talked to tell me they felt like they were hooked the very first time. Sadly the euphoria and feel good I can take on the world feeling is a first for many.

For some it is just self hatred and hatred of parents. The thought is if the parents can't make them happy they will destroy what makes the parent happy. They don't care if they are cutting off their nose to spite their face it is just a power show down.

Since many figure they are going to end up a has-been after high school they are going to go out partying. Sadly with the economy things do look pretty bleak.
That was not my case AT ALL.

I did it because it made me feel good, no other hidden agenda or reasons for it, I just liked it.

OMG, Look at what just 4 years did to her.

No doubt, she was slamming, and probably alot.

Its a miracle I still look decent after all those years of smokin that chit, and have teeth, and arent completely sucked up.

I just got lucky, thats all.

But I cant help but think of how much prettier, I might have been, if I never used.

Its a damn shame.

I was never into meth and all I did was acid, drank enough alcohol to kill Ireland and snorted 1/2 of Peru and just decided one day that was it. Next day I joined a Dojo and started Aikido and over the next 5 1/2 years that led to other disciplines and today I have no desire for pot, coke, any of it. At the time I quit I was also w heavy smoker and quit that too. Today I can have one drink or 12 beers then not touch the stuff for 6 week, I just don't have the drive to do it. People talk about God helping them or whatever, but the reality is is if you want to quit your going to quit. Its all you and no one or nothing else that does it. Cheers to those who have overcome their demons. Remember kiddies, if Ozzy can do it, anyone can do it!

Roberta...
You're so smart and strong! God Bless you and the road you walk. I did drugs growing up but never tried herion or meth (didn't even know it existed then)....but when I got pregnant that stuff didn't seem to matter anymore. I was a bit scared when I had my first child ...wondering if what I did would reflect in his genes. The most of what I see in him is ADD. Not sure if that gene was there before me or not.

Cigarettes are my meth. I've tried countless ways to stop and still today I continue to degrade my lungs and compromise my veins by the effects of tabacco. There is not a night that goes by that I don't go to bed and pray for help and make a 'firm' decision to not smoke the next day. I fail day after day after day. It's very disheartening; but I made a committment to myself that I was NOT going to die a smoker. And another thing that I wish for is to know what's it like to kiss a nonsmoker...being a nonsmoker happy .

Thank you so much for sharing your life with all of us. I know it has certainly given me strength to know that addictions CAN be kicked.

Hugs :heart:

That is what the commercials imply anyway. I just wonder why they don't have commercials against crack too since it does the same or worse.

I got saved in jail, my bunkee and I did it together one night in our cell. We got down on the floor, and asked to be forgiven, and accepted God.

But when I got out, I continued to use, and kind of forgot about the whole God thing.

Ironically enough, I didnt get saved until AFTER I was clean for about a year or so. I wouldnt step foot in a church, thinking using dope, I would be a hypocrite for doing it.

Then one day, for no good reason, I just woke up, and said, "Its Sunday, and im going to church", I got dressed, and went to the nearest church, where I ended up getting rebabtised, and joined the choir.

I used those lozenges, that you suck on, with nicotine in them, to quit.

I got Mocha Coffee flavored ones, and they tasted really good. Everytime I wanted a smoke, I just sucked one of those. And your not suppose to bite them, so sucking them, takes alot of time, for one to be gone.

Try it! Maybe it will work for you.:heart:

I love you babe!:heart:

The key to success is finding something you've wanted to do and never did and doing it. That way you make new friends and you can consume yourself with your new hobby and make new friends at the same time. At least that's what did it for me.

In your fantasy meth world, you dont feel like your missing out on anything. You dont see the outside world, because your always either buying dope, looking for dope, or doing dope.

I never thought about being in a church, or church choir, until that one day...it was wierd.

Hindsight is 20/20, you were looking for something without realizing you were looking for something. You feel so consumed by the addiction that is all you consciously think about, its the unconscious thoughts that matter. Looking back you knew it when you saw it, I saw an ad for the Aikido dojo and knew instantly that was what I needed to occupy my time instead of partying.

Yeah,

I was looking for my next bad of dope.

I had no desire to do anything else.

I really was truly happy, in my little meth world.

Once I did dope,I didnt think there WAS anything better in the world.

And thats why I did it for so long.

I used to say, "everyone has a hobby, and they all cost money. Some people golf, some people sail, some people shoot guns, I do dope, thats my hobby. So whats wrong with that? I spend my money like everyone else, on what I enjoy most".

Roberta I'm one of those that have been here and remember you within the first few days...

As well as when we all cheered you on to post a picture of you bald. Not to embarrass you but to let others know it is okay to be bald & proud for you went through a lot to get there.

You have always been upfront about your battle and a inspiration to many.

There are still many here that was here then, just don't post much. We have cheered you on, laughed with you, encouraged you, and cried with you many times.

It seems your story touched more then just those that were on drugs but also the ones that have never done them. Those that did not understand the situation learned a lot about drugs & what one goes through dealing with Cancer.

I commend your openness about what all you have been through. Your Heart surely shines through~~~~~~~~~:heart:

The bald pic was hard, but I really wanted to know how men would feel about a bald woman with one boob!laugh laugh

They all told me I had alot more then that to offer a man, and that made me feel really good, about my situation, at the time.flowerforyou

My family here, was very instrumental, in my quitting drugs, and finding true love and friendship, along with people, who really cared, and werent afraid to show me that. I didnt know that straight people were cool, I only knew users. So it was an awakening, of sorts.

You guys have been to hell and back with me, a few times, and im not sure I can ever express my gratitude, or repay all you have done for me...you helped me to actually live.

Im glad, that sharing my stories, helps people. It gives me a purpose, a reason to be here. I never thought about my legacy, or what I wanted to do, or be, when I got older, till I got clean. Ive done just about every job, but never worked on a real career,

because I was sure, I was gonna be a rock star.:laughing: :laughing:

I am your resident authority, on drugs, addiction, cancer, stopping smoking, and Godlaugh laugh (well im a baby Christian, but I have lots of testimony, like that fact that im still here, when I really should have died).:angel:

So like I said, im at anyones assistance, anytime, if I can help, or just listen.flowerforyou

Its my purpose, and its one way, I can give back, and it makes me happy, to maybe, make a difference in someones life, in a good way.:heart:

Ohhhh geez, you saw my goofy first posts!blushing

Forget about the courage, it took me, to tell everyone, my situation,indifferent

what I find so amazing, still, is all the support, and love, and care, I received, from total strangers, on a DATING SITE of all places.:heart:

The Minglers were all I had, and apparently all I needed, I won the war, with your help.:banana:

Bless you for being there for me, and helping to save my life. :heart: :angel: :heart:

I will never be able, to express how much, it meant, and means, to me still, and always will.flowerforyou

Roberta...
You're so smart and strong! God Bless you and the road you walk. I did drugs growing up but never tried herion or meth (didn't even know it existed then)....but when I got pregnant that stuff didn't seem to matter anymore. I was a bit scared when I had my first child ...wondering if what I did would reflect in his genes. The most of what I see in him is ADD. Not sure if that gene was there before me or not.

Cigarettes are my meth. I've tried countless ways to stop and still today I continue to degrade my lungs and compromise my veins by the effects of tabacco. There is not a night that goes by that I don't go to bed and pray for help and make a 'firm' decision to not smoke the next day. I fail day after day after day. It's very disheartening; but I made a committment to myself that I was NOT going to die a smoker. And another thing that I wish for is to know what's it like to kiss a nonsmoker...being a nonsmoker happy .

Thank you so much for sharing your life with all of us. I know it has certainly given me strength to know that addictions CAN be kicked.

I got Mocha Coffee flavored ones, and they tasted really good. Everytime I wanted a smoke, I just sucked one of those. And your not suppose to bite them, so sucking them, takes alot of time, for one to be gone.
