Im at almost 24 hours clean now at home trying to do it by myself and I feel rough af.

20 years on meth initially off and on but the last 5 or 6 years I was shooting up and smoking large amounts everyday. In the end it all got so horrible it was easy for me to quit I was hating my life and just wanted to get away from the meth scene. The worst part of withdrawal was horrific anxiety for weeks while my nervous system readjusted. Cutting off all my friends and the social scene I was part of when on meth was difficult and it took a long time to be able to find enjoyment in normal things again. I'll never go back to it I hate the thought of it.

I am so glad you guys mentioned the different populations that are impacted by Meth, and what that may look like! You are absolutely right about the marginalized homeless women. I would take it a step further and mention that we have noticed the homelessness among youth in NYC who are using meth for the purpose of staying awake for safety.

I did not ever smoke it myself until I became a marginalized homeless woman. Absolutely yes to stay awake and not end it. To survive

I was 10 years clean from meth and then I got caught up once again!! Never EVER think for even ONE SECOND that you stand, lest you fall! We are always susceptible! And it really IS SO TRUE!! Once you've been hooked on meth.. and you finally quit? Even YEARS after you've quit, there is just SOMETHING MISSING that just doesn't seem to return again. Yes, it is definitely MOTIVATION.. but it encompasses MORE then just that. It's the realization that no matter how far away and how much time you get in between you and the last time you did the drug.. you JUST NEVER seem to have the ENERGY and/or EXCITEMENT for life and future that you enjoyed before ever trying meth. And it really SUCKS!!

I know, it just releases an unnatural amount of dopamine that nothing in real life can naturally produce. So our brains assume that everything is less than. But eventually if you continue nothing will be satisfying. So we just have to learn to enjoy lesser than things, because it still is joy! We just cheated ourselves with that poison, the scorpions tail

You nailed it and each time you go back out and relapse that ground zero for dopamine gets harder and harder every time . I read a study recently that was done on a large group of meth addicts and they all were open to taking something IF THERE WAS something to help get off the meth HOWEVER the problems as we know is one: there isn't ( I recently had a my med manager at a behavior management a humored her and let her prescribed me naltrexone ( I am not in that small percentage of people that feel that that's going to help me I tried it for 2 days and said no thank you not for me it made me feel worse it made the cravings worse I don't agree with taking an opioid blocker or an opioid suppressor for my to get off my doc And I can't get on Adderall anyway the other reason this very large group that was the study was done on and it was a very extensive study but this is what stood out for me because it's how I feel and pretty much they were all open to taking something if there was something to help get them off meth however it has to have that energy that motivational feeling it went into more detail about that but that's what it is and without that we have centered our whole lives around our use and when we don't use anymore we've lost our dopamines we don't have that gut feeling of happy and we will never probably obtain it as we did before we were at it but what the problem is is we still want to feel that energy and we are totally lost without it life is so mundane because we have centered our whole life around this drug and I have had times of sobriety long times that I have pretty much been fighting this addiction for 30 and in the 30 years I have had a few different times of sobriety nudge from the judge I am trying to do this on my own this time not because I've gotten in trouble and I'm sorry for the no punctuation I have a really shity phone and it is not doing good with speech to text right now and it keeps stopping and it's just pissing me off but anyway my problem is I don't know how to live my life without my drug I get up every morning and I still do lines and I don't know if I can even say this on here but it's like an extension of me it's like getting up taking a shower brushing your teeth it's part of my routine and without it I don't know what to do with myself and I really liked what you had to say because you kept it real

I'm a single mother with three kids, I'm here pretending to function as I do meth throughout the day in order to stay up and engage, as well as maintain household responsibilities on top of employment. My number one priority is to maintain stability and a home for my children. Unfortunately in order to do these things I use meth. My main job though is to be a mother, I have children who in a small amount of time will be going out into the world become independent members of society. In order to do this I need to quit doing drugs. I'm scared though of when I stop that I'll never get out of bed again. I'll lose my job, I'll sleep through alarms, I'll lose income and my home. I haven't slept for 7 straight days in over 2 years. When I quit meth I turn into an angry impulsive, verbally evil emotionally unavailable SELFISH human being and eventually I just end up calling my dealer because a meth crash turned double depression (I have bipolar 1) is just so mentally painful that I stay high just to pretend to my kids that their life is normal when it's really really not. I know I can do it but God damn I'm just scared and annoyed that I'm even here. If that pen from Men in Black actually existed then Id wipe the joys of drug use from me entire being.

​@@randykemp751How are things going?

In my past research I came across a research that was being done about how the brain can repair itself over time from the damage from meth use. The study showed based on one's diet by eating the right food and staying away from the bad food can speed up the brain's healing process. If we only consumed seeds and nuts and live foods like fruits and vegetables which is what the body is meant to consume and stay away from soda and cake all that's considered junk food. Cause they are a big factor in causing a person to wanna relapse like coffee and cigarettes. The body is very resilient and when given the right nutrients can greatly speed up one's recovery. There are some free inpatient recovery centers that don't take the accountability to only serve healthy food and cut out most of all the junk food. Which will greatly reduce the relapse or to keep the drug cravings down to the minimum and to help maintain a healthy diet for recovery.

is everything they said the truth..?

I replaced my Adderall with meth when my insurance dropped. I'm a person with BPD and MDD also PTSD all diagnosed at 15yo. Raised by a bpd npd schizo effective mother and went thru consistent on going sexual abuse by my step dad from 7yo to 17 yo. I talked my way into getting Adderall from my Dr bc I was so depressed in high-school I couldn't function and didn't know what to do. I didn't smoke weed or cigarettes or drink or have random reckless promiscuous sex . But I slept through every single class and immediately when I got home thru the night to the next day. I thought microdosing meth would help although I knew better. Considering It was as early as 2019 when I started . I learned I was making excuses again. After CBT and DBT and all the programming and all the intense therapy I still found a way to justify my use by convincing myself i was doing it the right way. I slept every night. I ate 3 meals a day. I didn't hang out with people who used. I kept my use under the radar. I used it orally by filling empty capsules with the same amount in each one. I was "in control". 🙄😬🤦‍♀️😬 not so much huh? Then I got scared to quit bc of my BPD. But I honestly think that the therapy and the treatment I received for my BPD helped me with my sobriety 100%. Bc I've been familiar with my low lows and I've learned how to come from the gray area rather then the initial black or white. Rest and hydration and support from family or friends is so important. Mindfulness. I got a 'Sober Journal' from Meijer. I downloaded and printed a weekly mood tracker. I started a routine and I also allowed myself the balance of strictly sticking to my routine, with the understanding and acceptance of some days needing more rest than others. It's a struggle every day with mental illness and substance abuse. And for me with my BPD the intensity and the extremes of my emotions I was so scared I'd lose my mind and all my work would have been for nothing if I couldn't apply it when I needed it most. And it didn't fail me. The DBT and CBT and all the therapy I've had really came through for me in my recovery. If it takes weekly mood trackers and DBT/CBT worksheets and limiting socializing and with who and being honest with myself and my support system is what it takes then so be it

@@saramarie8180 I'm SO SO sorry I'm just now seeing your comment/question. 😬🤦‍♀️ so, my BPD lows are felt daily if not every other hour frfr. I feel like I experience every intense unstable emotion possible within the span of a day. Even within a hr I may go through a high and low a couple times. It's manic and erratic and scary and damn near crippling. This may sound too simple or easier said than done, but what I do to get through those lows, and maintain routine is mindfulness. I try to remain in the present. Bc I disassociate so frequently it's easy to give into my lows and get off track. I try to keep at the front of my mind that I'm already beating the statistics by still being alive today. Death by suicide in pwBPD is very very common. And I've tried. A few times. But the last time I tried was 10 years ago. See, when I'm low, I'm low. It feels like I'm stuck in purgatory trying to escape the void in my soul. The emptiness is like a black hole. Like it's always there even in my happiest moments. It's the same emptiness I felt when I wanted to die, that I feel today. Only, Ik better now. I went and did DBT and CBT therapies. I write. ALOT. I try to ground myself. By going outside and counting my senses. What can I feel, what can I smell, what can I hear, etc. I try to remind myself that the mind is so powerful and that only I can pull myself out of my lows. And to be honest sometimes I just sit in it. I sit in my pain and my sadness and I reflect (sometimes longer than I should probably) and all while doing this, I'm telling myself that I'm okay. I'll always be okay. There is hope for me. For you. For humanity. So I may be a dreamer and some would say a little out of touch with reality, but we need more people like that in the world. Hope for the best pray for the rest. Not hope for the best prepare for the worst. Prayer is preparation. In a sense. Listen. Know that you aren't alone. Ever. Even when you feel like nobody in the world could possibly understand you or your pain. That may be true. It's not for others to understand. It's for you to accept and also not allow to define you. Accept that there will be days or weeks or months when you're stuck in a low, but keep faith and hope and remember that if there is a low there will be a high. Follow me on quora maybe there's somethings on there that may help you out. I'm sending my love to you Sara Marie.

I would like to chime in I’ve been in opiate abuse with myself an got sobriety. In 2018 I got into meth an at 46 I lost everything including myself spiraled out of control couldn’t stop until I ended up in a state prison.this by far is the worst drug to stay away from its devils candy. I’m almost 3 years clean now. It took at least the 1st tour of being clean for my mind to even begin coming around to starting to heal. I enjoy watching you Dr. B thank you

Im doing meth i started in 2017, I want to quit, i know it's making me feel sick, and I don't always feel sick, I already have high blood pressure and I'm diabetic, I stopped taking my meds for that, im 59 and I live in my car. I moved back home from Texas and things didn't go like pland, that's a whole other story. But what i did want to say is, when I woke up today i looked on KZread to see video's, and I seen this decided to watch and listen a little bit, and I like what I was hearing. But when Parham is speaking, i can understand him totally but when Dr B is speaking, i can understand some of what he's saying, it's probably because it seems like he is not making eye contact. But I also know that he's not in a personal video with one person, I just wanted to put that out.

Hi I’ve been using off and on for 30 years but really steady since 2016. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2018. I truly believe that it was the meth cos it doesn’t run in my family. The other reason I could have gotten MS was from a huge infection which I did have bacteria in my blood and lung but the other cause is being exposed to certain chemicals and the chemicals the cookers use to make meth might have been the cause. And I’m still using but today is day 1 clean. I’ve been trying to quit but have a hard time detoxing

@Sunshine I am just going to say that if you feel dumb then we all feel and are dumb because we have that “security blanket” that is keeping us from getting help. And I have always said that we are allowed to be anything, dumb, bad, smart, kind, anything. It’s our decision to “be” and what to be really that determines our life path.

I’m maintaining my lame existence on t and f, about 1.5 g a day of each. I’m on the juice but I’m titrating in hopes of transitioning to suboxone. I hate being dependent on drugs but the depression/fatigue/anhedonia I experience with abstinence is unbearable and crippling. I never used to be a depressed person and I had hopes of my future. Without speed I have suicidal ideation, no reason to get out of bed. It’s encouraging to hear your message of hope even though the amount of time and effort I’m gonna need for even a chance of healing is daunting and overwhelming. Good times

I hear you. ❤ everything is obtainable, with little steps, a couple of crashes backwards, just never give up. There are plenty of reasons to get out of bed, there is a whole world out there to explore. However depression sucks and to find motivation without a stimulant for help, is really hard when you’re in that dark place. If you are using 1.5g a day, here where I live in New Zealand you can pay 500 a gram. 400 if you are in the know. You would have a 750 dollar a day habit. All that money up in smoke, do you want to throw your money into making you even more depressed. The sooner you start on your journey of sobriety, the sooner you are to dealing with the old trauma that caused your addiction in the first place, then the sooner you can head out and explore all of the incredible opportunities offered to us, picking up that crystal is only delaying the true healing , growth and wellbeing. Good luck I really do hope you are doing ok, if you gave in, then get back on that horse and move forwards ❤ blessings xx

I took alupent, primatine, broncaid inhalers, then was prescribed Marax at age 10 1x daily. At 12 I started abusing white crosses and black beauties. At 16 I graduated to crank, then crystal meth . I am 57 . And have been actively using this time for 13yrs. The last time I stopped cold turkey I went through emotional hell. I was clean for 6 years before relapsing.

​@@BEAUTYnIQI think the original poster clearly loves themself. As was said they got clean for 6 years. At this point addressing the underlying issues that caused addiction is pretty low on the priority list, and chances are they already know the reasons, but the mental aspects in terms of anxiety, insomnia, lack of dopamine were such a huge factor that after 6 years they still went back. To be honest, hearing all the possible ramifications a person would endure from stopping use, I guarantee some people see continued use as the lesser of two evils.

@@BEAUTYnIQ That's an awful lot to lay on someone who is trying to get to that jumping off point. Even though she had 6 years sober, she's now considered a "new comer" again, meaning she needs to keep it simple and take it one day at a time. While the comment you made may have been intended to help, it might have a negative effect on how soon she gets the help she needs.

I am glad to hear this . I want my life back . I'm tired of the lie .

You were echoing anyhow Dr B I told my counselor and my class about you I think your amazing I am an addict and need other help as far as becoming clean

So true that it’s everyone , I’m still suffering with active addiction and a friend of mine that just relapsed said he was offered meth by the district manager of a major pre paid phone company ….it’s sad how many lives it ruins.

I started doing it because i was depressed and had no motivation to get up off the couch but i had an appointment i had to be at. I called someone and the brought me some. I was not doing it before.

Good information!

im so glad i found yall guys im interested in learning how to stop settimg RESERVATIONS AND YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS MATTER!!!!!!! 56 year old meth user

How are you now

Where should one start if their life is mostly ok with daily use of meth? I like alot of things about myself these days, I was a angry person with no patience with my kids and then when I started meth all that stopped and I'm afraid of going back to that angry person.

Your exactly on the point ☝️

everything parham said from 20:25 to 25:10 is like he was reading my life Book n kno me better then I kno myself great video

thankyou for sharing your knowledge I listened very closely these are FACTS I KNOW HOW TO USE THE DRUG I WOULD LIKE TO LEARN MORE CONSERNING WAT THE BODY GOES THROUGH DURING USE. THANK YOU FROM THE ADDICT

Thank you.. this video is helpful.

I am new to this but I must say that you guys are helping me to understand this addiction much better than I thought I already knew. I had 22 years clean from meth until three years ago when I got bored and started using with cocaine first and then within two months went back to meth. I am 56 years old and have high blood pressure and weight problems and I know this drug is not good for me. I also suffer from Bipolar Disorder so I know that Depression is going to hit when I am finally clean. I need to get help in my local area for mental health, not to mention have my heart checked for damage. I am currently struggling with no motivation without the drug. I have too much to lose and I need help! Do you know where I can find help in my area? Without me having to go to rehab I have a good job that I do not want to lose.

@rondamollenkopf This is exactly the problem in the USA that MUST be addressed.... professionals stuck within the cycle of addiction (hate that word). Seems the only way available is to taper off. It takes militant discipline to progressively cut down; but it is a do-able challenge. It IS possible. Example: get ur final 2 or 3 grams, and try to make it last, using less & less over a few weeks. This allows symptoms to degrade slowly along with less & less doseage... manageable way to abate withdrawal f/x over time. It took time to develop a tolerance, it takes time to come down as well. You can do it. And without the stigma of "programs" or public scrutiny, which can threaten ur job status, or relations, or etc etc.... godspeed. It IS POSSIBLE

The man on the right is the recovery guru for meth. I'm impressed..

As prescribed for extreme allergies and asthma patients as young as age 3. Required just to breathe and proven to get rid of phenomonia and tuberculosis. Several STDs, used as a nerve blocker/pain management for many spinal cord injuries to ease the pain as well range of physical movements to make it through the minimum required assistance physical therapy in order to walk or regain use of paralysis in limbs

Ease if access is the gateway. Also memorizing a dealers phone number makes it unbelievably hard

I don't get this other guy.On one hand he says to move your body and move your body by walking 30 mins 7 days a week then he says the prescription is rest and relaxation.Ive been addicted to meth for 6 years and it's got me by the throat and no matter what I do to quit,no matter how hard I try I can't.I can barely walk to the kitchen or get off my bed when I try to quit.Im so addicted now that I can't even try to quit.The withdrawals are to severe and I always give in.Ive done every drug under the sun in my 62 years of drug abuse.Ive been able to detox and get off every drug and stay quit except for meth.The severe depression,anxiety, fatigue,loss of bodily functions.body pain headache nausea and severe craving is just to much..God help all meth addicts

@@Reuvenification ...And yet, All the same. I've attempted to quit several times (with full conviction) the problem is meth completely alters the chemical balance of the brain. It triggers the release of dopamine (the reward chemical in the brain responsible for feeling joy, excitement) far beyond normal levels. The brain counteracts by closing the receptors, thereby limiting this over flow of dopamine to be accepted (the reason if you are a chronic user, you can only get so high no matter how much meth you do) In fact, continual abuse destroys these pathways severely limiting normal brain function to the point that those whom are addicted must continue drug use in order to maintain a limited amount of dopamine flow. This "brain damage" is what makes recovery of this drug Absolute Hell, and the largest failed recovery percentage of ALL drugs. Without the minimal amount of dopamine provided by continued use, normal brain functions fail. The severity of depression goes beyond a feeling of bleak hopelessness, It's Black, Dark, constant dreadful misery. You can't even get out of bed, the thought of facing life makes you sick. You just want the world to go away, each hour seems an eternity... Although you are convicted, You will beat this. days turn into weeks, Two months, 6 mo's have past! there must be light at the end of this tunnel... it never comes. Finally you decide, If this is how it's going to be F***THIS! Let me state this... I take full responsibility for my addiction. Not all addicts are living on the street zombie walkers. I've been using daily for 30 years, maintained a job, have all my teeth, live a normal life. I am writing this as a testament, or advisement to any young person who may think addiction can't happen to you, think again. Nobody wants to be addicted. If you're not, Be grateful, not hateful.

I use meth only to go each day. I sleep every night. I eat everyday. Been smoking it since 2005. I want to stop. I really do. But the withdrawal keeps me from it. Help me please.

Does this also works with regular amfetamine I'm trying to quit but I got ADHD and it's so hard

(Slightly) off topic but - if you want to cure your echo problems, what both of you need, is a pair of headphones / in-ear monitoring (even ipod headphones will do, and direct per-subject microphones - something like a lavalier is fine. You should have no open speakers anywhere, except for your in-ear monitors - so there is not the oppertunity to create a feedback loop, or 'echo' as its generally refered to as. Essentially, the video conferencing software you use is designed to be able to have someone sit in front of a laptop, and generally have an 'ok sounding' conversation without any echo or feedback loop, and uses all types of voodoo to mitigate what it thinks is your direct sound vs. extraneous and background sound. Problem is, every listening environment is different, and dramatically effects the sound of your voice to the other party. Sometimes these systems have trouble discerning what is 'you' and what is background noise, and the 'echo' that youre hearing is the intermittant failure of these systems to effectively separare the sound of your voice, with the sound ot the other party being represented by your speakers and so this leads to all kinds of horrible sounding stuff. Your best bet is to eliminate it entirely, by using in-ear headphones and a directly placed microphone near the subject's mouth, and make sure all open speakers on your laptops, respectively are OFF. I hope this helps. :)

I have a few questions. 1. How much baking soda per oz of water to administer it, properly? 2. How long do I need to wait before taking the test? 3. What is my window of opportunity?

why post these if the quality is such that you are stopping every few to hear right with the echo...what exactly can we focus on here?

I can't do treatment or get help in jail all it does is cause and time away and a loss of at home to pay bills and when I'm in jail I can't pay rent or my bills which puts me behind gives me further away from being ahead so how does this solve a problem being in jail

This is such an important topic, and I am so thankful for the reminder that a "monkey can even write a prescription." I am afraid the number of stimulant prescriptions , doses, and number of tablets being prescribed and dispensed by some "pill mills" could fuel a methamphetamine epidemic much like the way prescription opioids contributed to the opioid crises and overdose deaths. Like Dr. B pointed out, even though both prescription narcotics and stimulants have a legitimate place in therapy, we need education along with closer monitoring, especially when first starting a medication or decreasing or increasing a dose. Thanks again for bringing awareness to these important topics, and keep helping others with kindness and compassion!

For example he is a 49year old married man with 6 kids of ages that vary from 14 and down my mother took him against his will to help get him sober he stayed basically locked in this place he told me if he answered wrong to his care providers he would get slapped like I'm talking about an adult man slapping another adult man for refusing anything with his complete strength. He shared that they tried to sexual ly abuse him also that they fed them carrots breakfast lunch and dinner for 2 years no calls no connection just basically rehab jail and torture.
