But it has only been 13 years.
And I do not know if it just me.......or our neck of the woods........but lately , I have been noticing that things seem to be changing.
In MethReality , that is.
What I mean by that is that it seems to me that the general public is kinder and more forgiving than it used to be.
At least this is what I have noticed.
As an example.......
Our family had a reunion of sorts , this past Easter Week~End.
With some family friends from my childhood.
A few weeks ago , when I was asking my Mom ,exactly WHO was coming.......
She named everybody and she named one more.
HIM? I wondered , as last I had heard , HE had been *kicked out* cuz he could not stay off the *Crack* or *Coke* or Crank*
My mother said to me........*Well. He is THE NICEST guy, you would EVER want to meet AND ,*........she said,
*HE HAS BEEN CLEAN FOR 8 WEEKS!!!*
My mother was so proud of him and so confident that he would make this time....it was just such a nice change from what I remember from times past. She used to live in total fear that I would not ever be able to stop , because that is what she was told.
And , just before they left , I was able to talk with him in the garage...I told him my story and he was floored. You? He said that he could not have imagined that I was a meth addict.
Then , it was like the cat was out of the bag....and my sister in law told me that she hoped that I wasn't mad at her ...but she had just told her daughter~in~law about me , to show her that People CAN give the meth up...as this young lady of 18 has a meth addict father..
And then my niece's boyfriend said quietly.....my father is a meth addict....
And then my niece said to me....my brother and I were meth addicts.....the whole time that I used ...my nephew and niece were using also.
I was floored.
But I really do believe that times are changing . We will figure out the right way to process us meth addicts back into society.
*Assimilation is INEVITABLE*
Could be that enough of us are using our voices to blaze the way.
I gave my Fellow Fallen Bros and Loved Ones our address, here at KCI. I really hope to read them here.
I am honored, really , to be a member of this board.
I hope that it is not just my imagination. With knowledge comes understanding. Fear of the Unknown is a powerful force.
We , who have done that and have been there can help to overcome that fear and to replace it with something very positive ....with just a few simple words.......words like........
.........*Hello. My name is Roxi. I used meth for 10 years...from age 40 to age 50. I am free now, for 2 years and 5 months*....................
