I started using meth when I was 18. And it robbed me of many years. I'm married and have 2 kids. Every so often I just get that urge I have to go... when I go I don't come home for weeks sometimes months. Having 2 kids and a husband is guilt enough for me to keep running. I have been hospitalized for methamphetamine psychosis. I have never been to jail... considering where I've been in the game I am lucky. Right now I have 100 days clean and I'm home with my family and I don't ever want to use again I'm getting old and I don't want to be one of the ones that keeps this habit for life. I want to be one that beats it. I was only gonna use once... now I'm fighting to stay clean for life.
