God Is Showing Me The Light.

Thats just a Pink Floyd song./ I have no cravings and I know when God is working cuz I can feel His strength in me to resist.

The first thing you have to realize , is the cravings for meth are going to come , thick and fast and they will not let up for a while, sure you'll have many periods when you dont crave , but they will always come when you least expect it. The cravings are born from a decrease in dopamine and other brain chemicals linked to pleasure and reward and sadly meth is similar to heroin in the sense it will deplete these chemicals that are necessary for feeling good - so not only do you have to cut contact with any users or dealers , but you also have to be aware of your triggers that will lead to relapse. The triggers will not always be obvious but they will be there 24/7 for a while yet. It takes months for your brain to readjust and one thing that helps enormously in restoring the balance is exercise , regular daily exercise - you can talk about it all you want but it takes a lot more than talk , you must also be aware that at times even talking about can trigger you into wanting to use

I recognized the Floyd lyrics... if you have no cravings why were you using?

I used cause my depression was so bad that I was going to do something about it. I used prolly once a week for three weeks so what is in my favor is that I heard my inner voice screaming at me to stop. I don't know anyone else who has it and I don't like to make new friends unless it's at church. I offended and prolly scared the other guys so bad that he doesn't want anything to do with me. Good points for a God that knows how to keep his child from falling away. Oh and my depression is still bad but I seriously have no cravings for it and I have been thru this before so I know what to expect if I do want it. I know a single session of meth can take months to even years to recover. I just hope that he moves out of town and I'm free from whatever backlash may come my way since I told him off like I did.

I'm ready. I told the guy to lose my number. I am finally seeing the money wasted. All the destructio...

I would encourage you to focus on your own problems and don't give any mental energy to thinking about your dealer.

I hope you can choose your way to freedom.

Meth creates a powerful addiction.

Take advantage of the human help that exists.
