If you can reach deep down and get through the next several weeks, you'll never have to experience this again.

It is possible... I'm proof!!!

....Thanks for coming to my defense.  He is mad at the world today, so I'm not taking it personally.  I posted for several years on the crystalrecovery board, and then my life took a turn for the worse, so I stopped posting.

.....I know how hard holidays are for the families of meth addicts, so I put an ad in a couple of the local newspapers last week saying "Do you know a meth addict who needs help, but won't listen to anyone?  Call me and I may be able to help."  I thought if I get any calls I could talk to their addict to see if they really wanted to quit, and if so, then I would offer to help them to get clean, and stay clean.  Sort of my way of helping my community.

.....I haven't posted here in 5 years, so I thought that I would check here to see if I could be of any help to anyone here.  Christmas is always hard on the families of meth addicts.  I normally show up at the meetings this time of year to reassure the families that it is not their fault that their loved one is a meth addict.  I was surprized at how few of the old timers are still posting here, so I decided that I would hang around for a bit, and answer any questions that I can for anyone.

.....You and I, and many others on this website are proof that change is possible.  Thats why we are here.  I just hope that I can help a few more people here while I'm around.  Carol
