life help: 20 yr old suffering from 7 yrs of meth addiction. - Help.com

20 yr old suffering from 7 yrs of meth addiction.

I have lost everything in my life. I need to get away from my own life, but i can’t leave my sister behind. She is 6 yrs older than me and addicted to heroin and crack… Life is tougher than ever before and I can honestly say I’ve never had more NOTHING in my life. I’m living with parents, and my sister roams streets. I cant keep a job… I always end up getting strung out with the money I make. I can’t get a job because I can’t force myself out of bed without dope. 2 yrs unemployed now, no means of living on my own. Never kept a job more than 5 months. I think I’m literally insane. i can’t feel anymore… not like i used to. im painfully physically and mentally miserable every waking moment of my sobriety. losing hope. need out. cant leave my sister behind. i will say this once again: i’m all she has. to read the beginning of my life story, visit:
blogs.myspace.com/drenchedinfilth

and please, by all means, help me - in some way, any way at all.. I really am my own worst enemy.

‘My time here is becoming insignificant’ -Mary Magdalan

Please, hear me. I’m barely here.

Much love and hope to all the world.

Signed,
Noel Garcia

before you can help your sister you must first help yourself, its not selfish, you have to do it before you can truly help her. I have never done hardcore chemicals in my life before but i can imagine how addicting they are and the best thing for you to do is to seek professional help and take counter active medicine to help with the withdrawal symptoms.

Good luck on the meth recovery thing, i have studied methamphetamine briefly and i can honestly say it is the most addicting substance in the world as it gives you more pleasure than your body can produce, and as a result your brain produces less pleasure making chemicals and you are left without the ability to feel pleasure. Get all the help you need, your with your family good! thats a start of a battle of your own mind yet to come, and you are the only one who can fight this inner demon

talk to your family doctor, or a doctor and ask them to refer you to a therapist, or a rehap clinic. You can’t do this on your own, and you can’t be there for your sister if you can’t be there for yourself.

I am 21 years old and a cocaine addict, i havent done any drugs or drank in over 8 months now, and it feels great. Try a 12 step program, Cocaine anonymous, Narcotics anonymous, even Alcoholics anonymous, these rooms can help you get your life together. They are full of people who are/were just like you, and want nothing more than to help you get better. Listen to the suggestions they give, REALLY listen to what they have to say. They saved my life, they can probably save yours.

I’m a recovering addict and have been clean a little over 5 years. I was addicted to meth, crack, weed, alcohol and anything else I could get my hands on. The only thing I can tell you is, we don’t recover on our own… We need help. Get into some type of treatment facility and ask for help. Once you complete treatment go to Narcotics Anonymous meetings. You’re not alone man… People care and will help you, but you have to ask for help. Start calling treatment facilities today. Good luck.
