I am here to tell anyone who is thinking of quitting that it IS possible. I said possible, not easy. I know, I was an I.V. user for over 26 years and have been Hiv for 21 years. I quit! It tok a lot of people to help me, including my Dr., counseling, family and non-using friends. The number one thing to do is leave all of your friends and/or family behnd who are using. I know, I tried to stop several tmes but kept hangin' with some of the old crowd. Every time, I got sucked back in to the scene. This last tim I told my friends that I was quitting and that I was leaving and that they would not be seeing me again unless I happen to run into them and they were clean. It has worked for me. I have even went on to help others that I have met who truly wanted to leave the drugs behind to d just that. You HAVE to LEAVE the PEOPLE and the DRUGS if youwant to be free. My thoughts are with tose of you who are conflicted and I wish you all that youdream of, because I can tell you that dreams do come true. You just have to put the work in.

I'm leaving the Crystal behind today...I just hope I can make it. So many people had died around me and I really missed them and I found crystal and it became a way to escape reality. But you feel empty inside afterwards and you wonder if your life is worth living. My life is worth living and I still have enough love to give someone..maybe not the one person I miss because of he died of Aids a while back but I'm ready to open up to someone new...I'll never find that person if I'm using crystal. Today markls the beginning of my new life...by writing this, I'm feeling the sadness and depression leave me and I realize there are so many opportunities out there...I can't give up...I won't give up...and I'm going to win. I quit my awful job on Friday but I still have money and insurance to make the change. To be drugfree, find my perfect job and take care of my health. I became HIV+ because I was on crystal and became careless or I thought I was invincible. Not true, and telling yourself it's only for sex or only for a party weekend is just a cover-up. Leave the stuff alone. Destroy any phone numbers you have that get you access to the stuff and start living again. I can tell you while writing this a big knot in my should ers has just lifted and I feel frtee again. Thanks for listening. I hope this helps you.

Hey guys: Been down that road and I have to say it takes a lot of self determination to overcome any addiction. A dear friend of mine is "slamming" the stuff and I so wish I could help but I've come to determine, for my own sanity, I have to walk away and just let the chips fall as they may... I've seen the lies, cheating, stealing (among the other other mortal sins) come out in this person and it's just not pretty. Unless you want to change your situation and have the control, confidience and self-determination needed, it will not happen. Just my opinion....

Have tried to help two meth users and both have turned on me and tried to kill me. I think the only help is to give any user a big bag of the shit put them in a room and let them kill themselves. Any user is a week f--ked up loner that has no people skills other than lie cheat steal and do harm to others.All one needs to do is talk to any one and say helo I'm having a bad day sure you have had one or two in your life.Get it off ones chest and not think that the drug is going to help you. Or finding god after you have missed up your life and others. The rehabs and the meetings are no more than another addiction.Life will kill you learn to live with others in truth and never have take meth or any other substance.Truth will be the only drug you will need. I wish the two people I tried to help and love with all my heart were dead not because they tried to kill me but because they are the walking dead. We have glorified the drug and the rehab celebs.It's time we bring back a good kick in the pants when we are five and taught some common dignity.We have no love or pride in self taught today.

I would like to bring my 34 year old gay son to a meeting or discussion concerning Crystl meth. He needs help and I have no idea how to help him. Can you advise? He seems to be on and off the substance and is currently using again. We live in the NYC metro area and the city is within an hour commute.
