Welcome Home.

God Bless. I hate that devil drug.

As I posted I lost my sons father to it, luckily he cleaned up 15years sober and not even an occasional beer after work and back in good graces with the Lord.

Prayers answered, from what his mom told me over the years as we prayed he went as low as you did living in tool sheds shooting up.

He was the most handsome blonde haired, blue eyed butterscotch skinned man I ever laid eyes on.

LOL Now he is just a bald old fart.
But a sober one.

My best friend, Charles, was even more addicted to meth than I was--and that is saying something.

VERY long story short: In 1995, he was on a week-long meth binge, became depressed, and pulled his 30.06 deer rifle from his closet, saying something about committing suicide.

His girlfriend came over, and she tried to get the rifle away from him. While they were struggling, the rifle went off, hitting her in the abdomen.She was dead before the ambulance arrived.

He went to prison for manslaughter, did about 6 years. He got out on parole and tried to stay away from meth. But, he couldn't resist. Two years ago, he was caught breaking into some place to get the ingredients to make meth. He was busted and his parole was revoked.

Today, he is in state prison and will likely be there for at least two more years.

"But a sober one."

Same here, not bald though. I toyed with meth in the late 60's, nothing serious. Ironically, at the age of 50, I was diagnosed with ADHD and they wanted to give me Ritlin, I said, no thanks.

Hi OP,Had two friends both were tweekers this was back in the 80's.
One of them lived here in Ore.busted cooking the junk up out of the trunk of his car.the other was a dear friend of mine in Lancaster,Cali.She went from the crank to the crack,stole my money, my car,and believe it or not my teacup cocker spaniel.
I prayed for her all the time but couldnt take it and told her as long as she was using to stay away from me. I wouldnt be her friend inless she cleaned up.she was so bueatiful a model for Pennys and Sears made good money. when i last saw her she was a skeleton no hair no teeth. shes now up in Chino corectional for women for murder of a man,she will be there for the rest of her life.
my friend here in Oregon spent 5 yrs in the state pen had a meeting with jesus and now works for ODOT and is married and happy. myself,I dabbled just enough to know that wasnt what i wanted to do with my life and walked away thanking the Lord for saving me from myself.
