military help: have been off of crystal meth for about 3 years now straight and still i get the urge. - Help.com

Patience, Clarity, Prosperity.

Each of us has a vice pattern that resonates in us. The longer we continue to pluck that string the larger the vibration and the longer it takes to subside.

Patience to calm the spirit and endure as the choices made on your behalf run their course. Eventually the craving will subside like waves washing up on a shore. With patience you will find clarity. Clarity of how you got here and the paths in front of you. Patience and clarity lead to prosperity.

you can go to the military, they have treatment programmes for substance abuse.

if you dont want to go to the military look up Narcotics Anonymous meetings in your area and go.

all youve done is replace meth with alcohol, you have recovered or been clean from anything.
you need help. so go get it.

Get help. Substituting another addiction is potentially as harmful as the original is not going to get you anywhere. What I hear you saying is you’re addicted to alcohol, you’re so emotionally dead to the world you’ve hurt what should be your most important relationship, and you’ve lied to get to the position you are now. Buddy, it might be hard to get much lower. But a low spot is a great place to start moving upwards, and there is tons of help out there for people in your position. Find an anonymous support group and counceling.

Hey..I have stuggled with a similar problem (Heroin) and I am clean for 2 years now. The best advice I have to you is to think about all the bad things that your crystal meth addiction produced. Also, think about the positives you have in your life and the people you care about. Set goals, and work towards them. Urges are only natural, we are only human and we cannot control the fact that we crave something. But we can control those cravings. Everytime I feel like I want to get high, I think about my little brothers and how it would hurt them. Then I go for a run, lift weights, or play guitar. Find a positive outlet, something theraputic, and use it when you feel like using. Best of luck to you.
