Hi, someone has asked a question about meth

http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=482801

This is her first time using Meth.  I was hoping that others have
stories about family member or friends who have used meth and what has
happen to them.

Maybe by posting these stories we can keep this young lady from going
down this path.

J4F,

Good on you. I hope your efforts achieve a positive result. My concern
would be that the poster of the question has not responded.

I think she crashed.

In my much younger, bohemian days, I was hooked on meth. In fact, I
used to inject it directly into my veins...
The thrill of the incredible "high" kept me hooked for years.

At that time, I was extremely thin and gaunt. The main reason for the
dramatic weight loss is that meth ( and any other "stimulants" )
causes severe loss of appetite. I probably had many other dangerous
symptons of drug use, but I was too "out of it" at the time to notice.

Thank God I got out of the drug scene (and never returned to it) when
I became pregnant with my eldest child. I'm lucky to be alive today. I
sincerely hope that "pixiedust" heeds the warnings and advice from us
all.

Stepf53,  I am SO glad that "it" is not a burden in life anymore!

of all the questions i have been reading, this on sticks with me the
most. it is really easy for you to say no right now, but trust me, if
you keep "experimenting", it will not be your choice anymore...and
from that point on, it will be one regret after another... just
imagine laying on your death bed thinking your whole life was a
regret, and if you keep doing it, you will be laying there a lot
sooner than you thought. This will destroy your family and crush
anyone who truely loves you. These people you do meth with don't care
about you one bit. You may think they do and they may even think they
do, but people who care about you know that this kind of life only
leads to one very lonley and very sad road with no way out, and they
wont want to see you like this.

I tried meth for the first time when I was about 21.  Within five
months I was in prison with six felonie points, and two back to back
prison sentences.  When I got out it didn't take long for me to move
up the ladder in the meth world and start cooking meth.  Once again I
was on my way back to prison.  I had a five year sentence, nine points
and pending charges that had a sentence of 21 to 24 years.  By the
grace of God I wasn't convicted of the last charge.  I served my time
and moved away.  For me relocation was the only way and it wasn't easy
(especially the first year and a half).  I have a good job now, just
came back from working in Hawaii.  But I never fool myself into
thinking I can go home, because that is worse than a death sentence. 
It is the rest of my life in prison.  The end is always the same. 
Everyone of us is worth more than that.
