I've been doing this drug for almost a year and a half, and each time it gets worst, l really wanna quit doing this drug, cause it's breaking everything l own ... everything l love ... l live in miami FL, l dont have any money to go to rehab ... l wanna know what can l do.

I applaud the fact that you want help and are asking for it. Get a good support system. Keep yourself surrounded by people who want to see you clean. Stay away from anyone you know who uses or sells Crystal Meth. Pray everyday, God will helpyou through it. Keep yourself busy. If it's with work or exercise, or a hobby, keep yourself so occupied that you won't have time to think about the drug. I don't know if Miami has a free clinic but sometimes the community free clinic will have resources for people such as yourself who need help getting clean. I am pulling for you. Realizing you have a problem and askig for help is the hardest part and you've done that. YOU CAN DO THIS. You are in my prayers.

recoverynowtv.com Mike invites Melissa, an audience member and mother of a meth addict, to the stage to discuss her daughters crystal meth ...

If you have, how did you do it? Can anyone recommend any residential programs in the Sacramento area? Is there anything a family member can do?

All substance addictions are very difficult to break, but with the right balance of expert counseling and support many people have made it to recovery. I don't recommend the person be treated in the local area as associations with the elements that drove the person there in the first place are all to available. I suggest you talk to your family physician and get recommendations.

she met this guy who uses and they hit it off now she is an addict herself but won't admit it. i kept her problem to myself up until today when her cousin called me with concern of her behavior i told her cousin everything i know and i feel bad about it but at the same time i feel like her family should know. was it wrong that i said anything or should have i just kept all the information i know to myself? also apparently they confronted her and she called me a liar and i think they may believe her.

Glad to hear you care about her... So don't feel bad about telling her causin. All you can do is just letting her know that you will be ready to talk when she is ready to quit… there is really not much you can do except wait on the side line and observe…

Her dip shit boyfriend will eventually get caught (hopefully she is not there when it happens). It’s sad to know you can’t do much when it comes to intervention but meth will slowly but surely mess up their lives. The main point is being there for her when or if she decides to quit if you still care about her.

FYI- Meth users are liars 70%-100% of the time.

We just found out that my brother in law has been a meth addict for eight years now. He is single handedly destroying his family. He lives at home with his mom and has never had a job. She's a wonderful person but I don't think she knows how to deal with this. He told her that he doesn't want to go to rehab, so she won't send him. She seems to think that he'll stop on his own, or maybe she's just resigned to the fact that he'll never quit. What can we do?

If he's had this addiction for 8 years I doubt that he'll ever be able to quit by himself, and if he doesn't want help, he's lost. I'd tell her to kick him out unless he is willing to get help. He will only end up destroying his life and hers. She needs to get tough and make him leave and get help before that happens.

I just found out my husband has been hiding a meth addiction and he also had several affairs. I am heartbroken. I am so sick to my stomach that I just don't know what to do. He is going to a 30-day rehab program to get help for the drugs but that doesn't change the pain I'm feeling over the affairs. He and his family and my family all say he cheated because of his addiction to meth. Is there any truth to that. I just need some unbiased opinions.
We dated for 5 years before we got married and he cheated and did meth then. He finally quit sometime before we got married and promised to never do it again. I know he needs help and i'm trying to be supportive but I'm holding all this pain in because I feel like no one is there for me. I'm afraid that after rehab he has to go to meetings everyweek etc. but statistics show he will probably relapse again and I just can't keep going through this. He only admitted to it cause he got caught.
Thank you all so much for your replies. It helps so much to hear all of your advice. You are all helping me to not feel like I'm in this all alone.

Me and my husband did meth for 3 years. We have been clean for 5 and I can tell you that this drug changes you while you are on it. Even on the down times when you are not high you are still the same person that you are when you are on it. Me and my husband never cheated on each other during that 3 years however I can tell you that we did things that I cringe to think about now. This drug makes you very "sexual", that is not the best way to expalin it but it's the only word that comes to mind. You want to be touched, kissed, talk, it makes you feel great but strange at the same time. I cannot say that it's a good excuse that he did these things to you while on drugs but I do agree with your family. Drugs of all kinds make you do and feel things that are out of your control.

It's great that he is getting help but I promise you that it will take more then 30days. Me and my husband was able to walk away from this drug only because we ran out of money and I found out that I was 5 weeks pregnat. Scared the day light out of us. If you love him and want to save this then have faith. Email me if you want to.
