If you live in Georgia go to Ridgeview in Smyrna. They will detox you so you won't feel the withdraw from the roxis. I have done it and it was the best way to go. No matter what insurance you have if you tell them you feel suicidal they have to take you. I have medicade. They take that. It is a short term detox. Lasting 5 to 7 days. They are great.

Go to Ridgeview Institute in Smyrna Georgia. They will Detox you so you don't have to suffer from withdrawal I loved it it helped me they accept Medicaid insurance. But if you don't have insurance just tell them you feel suicidal they will have to take you they can't say no so give it a try it's a great place to go.

I may not be the best to talk , considering I'm struggling with a clear addiction currently , I am only 17 a female and my whole family does drugs too , any kinds my cousins mostly heroin my uncles and aunts meth ,and my perants used to smoke clear , but I recently picked up the habit , and now at 17 I have smoked ciggerettes for 11 years weed for 5 years and meth for about 6 months , every two day or so
But if you want to feel happy again and you want to be with your child and husband best thing you can do is confide in a group of people including your husband , deal with the withdraws , and make the promise to yourself to never let yourself feel that again , and it's the hardest feeling to get through thas why it's been hard for me.
But best thing you can do is ask your husband for help , tell him you want to change .
And make the promise for yourself and for your child to quit , look at your baby's face and make that the modivation , I know what it's like to have perants with drug issues and it's what messed me up early in my life , you don't want that for your kid trust me go out with your family be clean and experience your life again , get to be yourself again

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I too share the similar struggles im my everyday life. Ive been addicted to Meth and Weed for over 15 years. But on the outside i look very normal and im a true story of "functioning addict". Although lately im really tired of fighting and i want more then anything to be clean. Ive been to programs and have the tools i need, its just putting them into reality is not been easy for me. I find that mediation and spending time by the water helps quite my mind. Hearing your story gives me hope and lets me know im not the only one. Hang in there and have faith in the power of the universe.

My friend has COPD and he smoke meth and he don't know where to smoke it or snort it

All I can say is thanks for sharing. I've been a Junkie my while life. Started taking pills and smoking weed. Then powder, then hard,morphine, meth. I'm also a full fledge alcoholic and I can feel the horrible effects the alcohol a d drugs do to my body. I'm 37 yo female. I can just say I understand.

I know ecxactly what you mean. I was saying to myself ice is the worse drug. I had been sick addicted for 5 years. Kicked it for one year. And i been relapsing. I reasoned for 5 secs of happines. That thought "5secs of happiness" hit me hard made me reflect why would i say that and seek happiness from the worst thing. So i realized if im seeking happiness then i must be sad. So the reasons why you USE are the opposite feelings bugging you leading to stay addicted. So if you can figure out what your looking to escape from. Then you can target those areas and fix them healthier. Wish you the best. You deserve it. Thanks for your post. It helped me see some things

Yes you f*****g can. I quit f*****g meth I'm 19. I quit Oxy and percaset (same thing) and I quit all the other pain meds I was on. The pain Meds were easy to quit the withdrawals were horrible for like 2 weeks then I never thought about a pain med again, it's just the f*****g flu. Your saying you can't quit because if you stopped it at once you'll die? That's not even true your almost gaurinteed to live. Saying that you definantly don't want to die, which you mentioned you did right? Your not a 10 year haroine addict are you? Stop being a f*****g p***y and learn to be a man or woman, not a f*****g boy or girl. That's what it really takes to quit. if you don't know how you gotta f*****g learn because it's never impossible and never easy but it is simple. Stare death in the face and tell me you want to die. Have you ever overdosed so bad you knew that you were going to die then tryed to stop it? If so you definantly don't want to die. If you wanted to die you'd be f*****g dead meat laying on a corner with flies and worms or maggots eating your body

A doctor gave my daughter Methadone for her back pain then just stop giving it to her without weaning her off of it so then she started getting it off the streets. We finally got her into a 5-day treatment that got her off the methadone but then they put her on suboxone which she and I both regret now because the suboxin is so hard to get off of and now that she doesn't have the insurance she can't find a Suboxone doctor so now she has to go to a clinic and pay a lot of money to get the suboxin but she desperately is trying to find a place that takes her State Insurance so that she doesn't have to take it anymore. I would suggest that you go into treatment because she said when she got off the methadone she felt so much better and happier, the Methadone cause her a lot of depression and as far as the meth goes I have watched my older sister that is 57 years old smoking meth and snorting it to for many many years she's even done jail time for it twice. My suggestion would to be, you are so young and beautiful inside and out don't lose it get into rehab and get rid of it all and start a Happy New Life with no lies. Good luck to you!

Hey how are you doing these days..its been a while and I have read all that you have wrote. Just wondering. If your even out there?

I was clean for 10 years, "WAS" then when my life spiraled out of control I started using again..it seems like the methods in making it have changed, its way more powerful , i started noticing annd was able to identify other people that were on the more powerful batches that are going around town, they are going crazy ..a few days ago i saw the news that a dear friend of mine had been in a police standoff..he was a humble, kind , warm hearted guy that was like a brother to me..yet someone tried to rob him and he shot the kid several times in a meth rage ..he then fled the scene and baracaded himself under his house with a duffle bag of what they call the superlab ice..the police sent a k-9unit to try to flush him out but he beat the dog up..then they deployed a tear gas bomb ..that didnt work neither.the police said they witnessed clouds of thick white smoke billowing from under the house..my bro was amped out to the max and hit after hit his heart finally exploded. When they finally got him out he was gone..now im in a comatose type of state..while im trying to make sense of all of this i feel so bad that I'm ever going to smoke meth again. Rest in peace bro.

Jesus Saves. Read the bible, pray, and you CAN overcome. Getting outside helps along with exercise and eating healthy foods. Also if you smoke cigs it can make it harder to quit. You can do this, God bless.

Can ou provide any hypnosis links?

wow i did not know that
