Each day I drive by, I see folks out for a walk, or just sitting out in front.

For those of us who don't know what it is like or have chosen not to check into a center, is it possible to ask what a normal day is like when you are there?

What does that mean?

It means that meth is usually a lot of fun at first. It feels good. It makes life so exciting and seems to have nothing bad about it.

I am speaking as a recovering addict, husband, father and forum member. These are my personal peer-to-peer opinions only.

Each and every relationship is unique and the things that apply to one, may not apply to another. The only time I strongly recommend staying with a meth addict is:

I am so happy I found your site. First I need to say I am not a user. However, our family has been destroyed by Meth.
Could someone please tell me why Users dig thru trash cans at Walmart?
The adult user was doing this.

For me I will have many questions, so that I can educate myself and have a better understanding of this.

Thank you ahead of time.

How does a family decide what their financial limits are in the quest to secure treatment programs considering the high rate of relapse etc.? Would you stop at 1, 3 treatments or 5 or no limit etc.

Let's say "you" have a 32 yr. old son living in a crack cocaine house. He is on a 2 yr. probation for a minor felony. He has never been clean for longer than 10 months since he was 16.

He, of course, has been in and out of numerous treatment programs.

I wish I had a script to refer to, words that I knew wouldn't do any harm, might even encourage her to seek help.

After I thought about it for a while I decide to ask these two questions on this board.


Question 1
In your experience, what percentage of recovering addicts tend to dwell on and talk about the unhappyness that they experience rather than focus on and tell people about the positive that is happening in their lives as a result of recovery?


Question 2
Also, I have heard it said by... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (sdmsanjose) http://methamphetamineabusediscussionforum.yuku.com/topic/880 Fri, 07 Dec 2007 23:05:27 GMT http://methamphetamineabusediscussionforum.yuku.com/topic/879/t/Can-you-remain-in-meth-psychosis-paranoia-.html I sort of worry about my daughter still being delusional. When I think she says some "out there" stuff, I remain silent, thinking, "this too shall pass."??? I've said this many times before, but I have to keep remembering what our addiction counselor told us: It takes 18 months to 2 yrs. for the brain to "reset" itself from this drug.
