I'm losing one of my best friends to this drug. I'm not a violent woman but if I ever catch hold of the man selling meth to my friend you may hear about me on the nightly news. Dry

sorry to hear it.

Sounds like it is serious enough for you to take drastic action if she means that much to you. An intervention...authorities...whatever it takes. There's endless dealers out there. Stopping her is the only answer (if there is an answer). Good luck and sorry to hear of your situation.

Understand that the drug has a pull that can't be described unless it has had you in it's grasp. I can relate, 15 years sober.

She is addicted...It's a word so widely used, but so mis-understood.

I met Jill, from episode #49 on intervention...the showed saved her life. You could contact them. She said the treatment changed her outlook, and she now works in rehabilitation.

One drug dealer is not provider her. There are several.

Something can be done but it takes effort.

Go save her life.

Good luck

Its amazing what kind of a power this stuff has over people. They will do anything for a fix, including robbing their own grandmothers. You wouldn't believe the shit my brother did to our family. Last I heard, he was homeless and wandering the streets. This is from a guy who growing up, all he wanted to be was a cop. he got hooked when he was 17, and never looked back. I haven't seen him since my Dad died four years ago, and I hope I don't ever again.

Wow.
Strong words.
I've read much on addiction - and have seen some nasty articles on that drug. Fucked up for sure.

Sorry to hear about your bro. Sometimes you gotta get to the very bottom of the barrel before you even think about going the other way.

You know, there is a very interesting article in the new playboy with Dr. Drew and he talks alot about addiction. I found it really interesting. Might give some insight where to start with your friend.

Seriously.

Sorry about your friend, it is always a shitty situation to watch somebody deteriorate like that.

My aunt has been in prison for almost a year for fraud and stealing over 200k from her job to cover her addiction. All she talks about is getting out and finding her real "friends". Fucking grown ass woman, 50 years old, I spent every summer at her house growning up.

I found out she had warrents and drove up to her house as I hadn't been there in a couple years. Place was a shit hole, fucking kids in there 20's walking around all strung out.

How does it get that bad?

Fucking pathetic.

Dont let her in your home... you'll be robbed.

Let her go unless she wants help... she'll hit rock bottom before she asks for help.

Sorry to hear the news.

By the way... this is one reasone why I dread moving back to Vegas. Vegas is the Meth capital.

Meth is everywhere. My brother is a deputy in a small county in Iowa. The largest town is 25,000 and it's mostly farms. He spends a good amount of time raiding labs out in the rural areas.

A few weeks ago me and several friends cleaned out 15 bags of garbage from this persons house. We used shovels to scoop up all the crap on the floors. It smelled horrible. I could tell stories about how it's affected my friend. Her house destroyed, holes in walls from fits of anger. She thinks she has it under control, and that I just don't understand. Shes mad that I am "judging" her.

I grew up in Fontana in the 80s and 90s that shit was everywhere. Saw alot of good kids waste away and a few relatives too. One thing I learned is your friends slowly die and another person takes over. As difficult as it was I had to turn my back on a few people. Told a buddy "When you want help I'll be here but until then I don't want to see you". The guy got hooked by some chick he used to date and I haven't seen or heard from him since. Last I heard he was stealing copper cable and old hot water heaters.

Meth dealers should never serve time........they should be executed on sight. AZ has a big meth problem as well...........they cook it out in the desert, then they recruit middle school kids to give it away. Get the kids hooked young.

Was a woman in Phoenix last year..........she was forcing her 9 year old daughter to hook to feed both their meth habit.

Once somebody does meth.........they're done. They are never the same. They never get off it. They may be clean for a few years...........but they eventually do it again. Meth is terrible.

In Galesburg (hometown) there were tons of articles in the paper of how it was getting worse, and more and more labs were being discovered.

People driving around with labs cooking in the trunk of their car and stuff.

I find it crazy something can be THAT addictive, THAT fast.... insane.

That's BS. God is still working miracles everyday and I have the priviledge of being one of them- never did meth but done enough coke to float a battleship. 5 years clean.

Meth, booze, crack, pills- their all the same- what hooks me may not be what hooks you but the power over each is the same.

I just don't understand why someone would be so stupid to do drugs in the first place. Everyone knows they are bad. Everyone knows they can fuck you up. Why do it? I hate to say it, but I don't feel too bad for someone who fucks themself up with drugs. They did it to themself.

My ex saw my half-sister lit up with drugs and saw my step-brother's problems.

Yet she got into drugs at 29. She is really messed up and nobody knows what to do for her.

I worry about her some days... but I worry about the people she may hurt more while intoxicated/high.
