I felt it was good to start a thread on this as methamphetamine addiction has become one of the most abused drugs in our society. Unfortunately, from what I've heard is it is relatively cheap to make , not as expensive as other drugs, and highly addictive once a person is " hooked" they have an extremely hard time getting off it. Crank or speed as it is called makes people highly aggressive, mean spirited, and can make them violent. My 2nd marriage broke up because of it. The woman I was married to was highly addicted and kept it hidden from me for years before I found out, her finally admitting what made her so aggressive! She did not want drug counseling though, so the marriage would not work. I've never done one drug, but I have seen the damage it does to lives , the lost relationships and co-dependent relationships it creates, with innocent victims ( the abusers relatives ) unable to decipher how to deal with an abusive drug addict.
So, do you know someone who is addicted to drugs ? Meth tears your body up, teeth eventually fall out, will make you age 20 to 30 years ahead of your time, and kills your body from the inside, out. Even addiction to " lesser" drugs can be a problem in people's lives , resulting in inattentiveness, lack of motivation to accomplish anything successful . So to protect our lives and those we love, let's show concern for those who have these addictions. Help them see the need to get off the drugs ansd start really living again ! So what experiences do you have with overcoming drug abuse ? How have you seen Meth or other drugs destroy people's lives. It might be good to share so we may help others see the dangers involved so they can avoid the pitfalls and help others too ! look forward to your responses ! Peace out to all , Mr. Flipper
