Kayla,
Yes, it's true I was up for 6 days sometimes more and sleep for one and get up and start all over for 22 years. No, my brain is not fried. Why? Only God knows. No STDS, Scars? Yes, emotional scars mostly GUILT and a few from where I tried to kill myself, right there where I have to be riminded everytime I put my watch on. Kalya, I started doing meth at a time when meth wasn't that popular. And it wasn't being made in every other house on the block. I think it was much cleaner when I was using. If that makes sense to you. I can see a huge diffrence in how it effects people today. I am also a very stubborn, strong willed person, and even being a drug addict always had an unbeleivable desire to be better than the people around me. ( a drug addict with a few morals) funny! I honestly think there are more people who have gotten clean and are living *normal* lives, but wont admit to being a drug addict, for the fear of maybe losing their job or just the embarresment of it. If more people came forward, it might give other people like yourself some hope. I have so many horror stories, and if I can tell people about them and then tell them where I am today, maybe for the 5 minutes it takes them to read it, it will take that sense of hopelessness away if even for a minute. There is life after meth.
