Does meth change your life forever?!
Question: Does meth change your life forever?
Even after a meth user has quit, is their life ever really the same psychologically? A few months ago, some very close people in my life had started using. They say they've been clean for about 4 or 5 months now, but I'm curious... Do they still think about it everyday? Will their meth "mentality" stay with them for the rest of their lives? Does this drug ruin your life - way of thinking, beliefs?

YES . . very much so.
Let me explain . . 1st the experience of hanging out with a bad bunch of people changes your perspective and not for the better.
Many times drug users don't change their lives . . and continue down the same path over and over . . justifying that they quit before and the monkey was no longer on their backs
They as a result rarely live good productive lives due to the setbacks and false starts created by drug use.
People who were "addicted" usually face problems, in that they have an affinity to addiction, and it's very easy to go back.
Many drug users are emotionally stunted and continue to deal with things in a childish manner and act out and hurt themselves and others.
If you haven't already started . . may I suggest Don't Start.
If most of your friends or the people you hang with are drug users . . then my advice to you is pick new friends
The choices we make in our youth affect our lives from here on out.
Don't be a Loser
Watching extended family members, friends, and associates ruin their lives and families lives due to drugs and alcohol. Witnessing and trying to help those people on and off for the last 30 years.
You Don't Want to Go There.
it does change your life for ever. i was addicted for 10 years. i've been clean for 2 years. i feel like i'm still very far from being recovered from it. i frequently have horrible dreams that i'm getting high. i still think about it every day.....i hate it, i hate myself for ruining my life and hurting loved ones around me.....for the past two years i've beed depressed, constantly feeling guilty about my past.....i don't feel motivated, and the worse thing is that if someone gave me meth - i would do it again. i stay as far away as possible from my "addicted" friends......because i know i'm not strong enough yet to walk away from it.....by the way i quit by myself with no rehabs.
Honestly either she was lying about starting or she is lying about stopping. Meth is not some drug you just quit. It takes many trips to rehab to fully quit and even then many people relapse.
..yes
