You all are alive, they are all happy recovery stories and beautiful. I see each life after meth as a miracle and seeing more miracles helps me keep moving forward.

The idea of admitting and accepting is firmly implanted in my head and my heart as a good and healing thing.

I live my life as someone I am proud of and someone they are proud of. I try not to look back as it hurts too much. I find that living in the now is much better for us all.

Now, see, that's a beautiful way to live. X, you have created a life beyond a meth addiction. That is hope for those still thinking they never can.

It's a happy recovery story.

luv

I divorced about a year into my five (or six) year meth binge. I never had children. The man I currently live with, and have a great relationship with, would not be more than "just friends" with me while I was out there using meth. So with all that said I guess the people I hurt the worse (besides myself) were my parents.

I never broke contact with them during those years. I would sometimes go a couple of weeks at a time in-between talking to them (which is not normal for...

With all due respect, I was "middle age" when I quit, after 13 years of meth insanity.

Luv: my heart goes out to you, and all the loved ones.

Just as there are no two of us alike; just as we are each unique and one of a kind; though our stories may seem to be universal, they are, indeed, as individual as we are.

I gotta go to work. Have wonderful day.

How long was it until you could face your loved ones' pain and how did you get past the pain?

I'm not sure. It helps that I've NEVER stolen from my family and I've tried my damndest not to lie, just say "Dad, you really don't want to know the answer to that."

How long until you faced up to the hardest of pains you caused and how did you get through it?

I'm still not over being...

Actually, I haven't been in contact with the meth addict x, wouldn't be except for his chickies evil voicemails and the fact that I have things that "used to be his" that are very Large and I'm still liquidating them slowly. I don't plan on having anything to do with him except to protect myself from he and his criminal meth friends.

I just don't have a picture in my head of how I want to act when he gets out of jail....you know, how to deal with him...

may i cut to the chase? i don't know how long you guys were together or how old you are, you and your ex.

i am 45 and my ex meth friend is 56. he's been on the stuff for years. i had quite recovered from my time with him until he starts to
pop up in my life again. this time i am ok because i've got a real strong game going on and one he admires. we are on an equal footing right now. i am much less vulnerable.

i admit i've seen him several times now...

it took 2 months to get over my own pain.

How long until you faced up to the hardest of pains you caused and how did you get through it?

How long until you could even speak with a significant other or parent or child that you knew was hurt terribly and how did you find the courage?

How did those people act towards you when you first communicated with them?

Do you wish you would have said or done...
