For one, I've never even SEEN that much, that's at least $200-300 worth of meth, and to make me picture that during my 2nd day of quitting, that's evil. We all know that you were the uber tweaker, high for 20 years, cook, etc. etc., why do you have to rub it in people's faces in EVERY comment that you make? Congrats, you're better than us. You came from worse and you've been clean longer than Anyone here. Are you validated yet? I appreciate that offer of friendship, but I can't help but think that it's wrapped in the tweaker equivalent of a rich person snobbishly serving food to the homeless while not daring to touch them or actually care.

.....Sorry if that was counterproductive for you.  I'm glad to hear that you have never seen that much.  Lets hope that you never do.  I was never a cook, nor have I ever known any cooks, but yes I was an uber tweeker.  You may see it as rubbing it in your face, I see it as giving you a look into your future if you don't quit now.  I'm not rubbing it in with my posts, I am introducing myself and telling my story to people here because nobody here knows me, or knows where I have been, or what I have been through.  I'm not better then anyone here.  Nor, do I need validation.  Getting off of meth, and staying off of meth, gives me all of the validation that I need.  Just because I came from worse, and have been clean longer then anyone else here doesn't give me any extra brownie points.  It just means that I was dumber then everyone else here, and I was lucky enough to be able to break free of it.  I know that you're feeling lousy today, so I'm not taking what you say personally.  Feel free to fire off at me any time that you want.  I have broad shoulders and I can take it.  The offer of friendship is genuine.  You can take it or leave it, that makes no difference to me.  Its not wrapped in anything, its just an offer of friendship from someone who HAS walked in your shoes.  Here's hoping that you have a better day tomorrow.  Carol
