    I started doing drugs since my teenage, got addicted to meth. Meth addiction actually destroyed my life. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 3 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

      Thanks for sharing your story. That's rough I sympathize. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health. I will pray for you all.

      Mushrooms are very medicinal. This is why anybody familiar with psilocybin and any other kind of fungi will tell you, "They are alive." They have a very ancient wisdom. To my experience, all mushrooms have always said, "Pay attention to your life. How you think, how you feel, and what will you do with the information that you always knew, but now are seeing in this point of view." This is why mushrooms are so respected in tribal cultures. This mental health treatment works for me too. Half micro doses do the trick for me. At least a few days at a time with lengthy time in between. Never addictive. Thank you for sharing this point!

      I don't know if your 22years clean (now 23) led you to reaching out to help others, but if it comforts you, know that your message has been well received by myself if nothing else, and I am hoping this is the kick in the ass reminder I needed to ditch this lifestyle for the second time.
      After 6 years clean, I recently relapsed and 2 months later I feel I am at a crossroads; to continue with recovery and working my steps through NA; or sink into this devilish mirage that keeps me from having to feel the pain of losing my family. I don't get how it can be that hard of a choice; but just for today I'll remind myself to be a WARRIOR! Cause that's what it takes during the first few weeks/months/..life. And kudos to you and yours. I hope your life has turned out amazingly

      @@maggiewestern7550 I was on it for nearly a decade, so I can relate brother. A clean diet and eventually a large dose of Magic mushrooms had completely changed my behavior towards meth. I even tried to smoke after my mushroom trip to test if I was "fully recovered" and to my surprise my mind was filled with absolute disgust when I held the pipe. Just reminded me of all the paranoia, psychosis, multiple restless nights and days without eating. I'm 1.5 years sober and counting. I only suffer from depression and anxiety now, after a decade of abusing my body and mind I know things take time but I'm hopeful I'll return to some level of normalcy. Anyway, if you want to quit I believe in you , it may feel like you can't but I guarantee you can. Start small, eat healthier , maybe incorporate a lil exercise and you'll see the weaning process will get easier and easier.

      @@MaNuLaToROfficial yeah I still suffer from depression and anxiety here and there (especially if I miss a day of exercise) although it's not too severe. Truth be told, I heard of the carnivore diet in how it relieves and treats addictions, depression and a whole myriad of other metabolic issues. I used that diet initially as a tool to quit meth. Then like I said, I had a profound experience with mushrooms and it had completely cured me of any meth thoughts lingering in my head. But yeah I don't recommend the mushroom trip until your mentally ready. To be in right frame of mind I suggest diet, exercise and meditation. I get that the diet is extreme but If you're desperate like I was.... well drastic times calls for drastic measures. Anyway, I truly hope your friend finds recovery, I wouldn't wish this devil's drug on my worst enemy.

    My sister is back on meth. This has never been a drug of my choice, so I don’t understand her demons or how she’s struggling with it. It destroyed her life before, got her kids taken away and sent her to prison. She turned her life around for a few years and started dabbling in it again. Now she’s someone I don’t know anymore and I’m scared of her, scared of how she looks and acts. I don’t know what to do about it. I tried to be supportive and she gets upset with me for accusing her of different things, even though we know she’s lying through her teeth. I have not spoken to her in months, that’s how bad I know she’s struggling. As sad as it sounds, I have just excepted that this is my sister‘s fate and that the short Time I had with her while she was normal and sober off meth, I will cherish that forever. I don’t know how else to help her without putting me or my family at risk with some of the paranoia and anxiety that comes with it. I can only just pray for her and hope she comes around soon enough, before it destroys her life again

    I am a recovering addict. I will celebrate 6 years sobriety from meth on the 2nd of Feb. Best thing for me because I was spiraling out of control. For almost twenty years meth was my life. By the grace of God and The Salvation Army, I am clean and sober. Thankfully my husband and I got clean together, and recently celebrated 29 years of marriage. We are more in love now than we have ever been. Today, I work with addicts. I love helping people overcome their addictions, and help them become active members of society......

What am I doing. Why am I doing this? My doc was alcohol. Thank God someone was listening because I did stop. What a horrific horrific drug. I've watched it tornado through people's lives that I adore. God bless anyone struggling and anyone who overcame it. Love from Canada.

      Stop being a drama queen. It's only bad because you are living up to beliefs about drug use that society has put into the world via Bill Wilson and his cult. I honestly wish that fucker never had come into existence, let alone start the 12 step AA trash. Antiquated, non-scientific, religious (yes, it is religious, deal with it. Fact. The little "spiritual not religious" game has been done to death and tons of people aren't buying that little bullshit move and there's a reason why). And, yet it's a real medical disease (apparently). And the solution or treatment for said disease is to give it all up to a higher power. This is such a disconnect and it is a massive disservice to humanity. That, plus the attention seeking, cry-me-a-river, "look at me, I've been clean for 3 days!" substitution nonsense. It's no coincidence the most prevalent personalities I saw in meetings were people who would fit right in at a sorority or fraternity. Disgusting. I'm simply not convinced. When everybody is chanting the same things or saying the same things, and independent thought and critical thinking are fucking nowhere to be found, we got a problem. And I smell bullshit.

      2. It IS a disease, and like most other diseases, people are worried about putting a " band aid on a broken arm" and would rather sweep it under the rug than to deal with it.
      3. You'll only get and stay clean if it's YOUR idea and if you want to be clean. If it's trying to be forced on you, it'll NEVER stick like it should.

  • @benbryant5499
    @benbryant5499 6 лет назад +158

    This is a little poem i wrote......
    To all my sober friends,
    If you were one of my friends during my addiction that I left behind
    please forgive me.I am sorry.
    I wasn't in the right frame of mind
    I was too focused on my chaotic life, I wasn't available to be there for you
    please don't judge me based on who I became and what I had to do
    Some of you may not understand what it's like on Satan's dance floor
    before the devil found me, remember who I was before
    Some of you know the combination to unlock the demon's vaults
    knowing the secret to walk away instead of being in a never-ending waltz
    To all my sober friends, you possess a strength that I admire
    some of you found joy in life again, some of you never fell into the fire
    Just don't blame yourself for my actions, I made my own choices
    I knew the game, I took the risks and listened to the evil voices
    I was once that sober friend who was always getting left out
    I could never grasp what hold the drugs had and what they were all about
    Embarrassed by the slave I'd become there was only me to blame
    I knew all this but still I took his hand and walked right into the flame
    It wasn't a conscious decision it was one that was vexed
    It was based on who can inflate your ego and where to score next
    I could ask anyone who's felt the flames to listen to what I have to say
    But addicts hearts won't listen, they always need to learn the hard way
    We need proof that it will ruin our lives to the darkest parts of our souls
    we need to see it with our own eyes, we need to feel the holes
    We broke our promises that we made and took his hand to dance
    even though we wanted to rest the devil continued to prance
    Dragging us through every waltz, tango and two-step
    when we fall he comforts us like a friend he's always kept
    All along it was us, we were the ones who needed to let go
    I hope you never dance with him, i hope you never know
    I pray you never understand, I pray you see me for who I use to be
    when I let go of his hand I hope you'll be there waiting for me
    Hold out a hand for me, be someone that makes the bad things run and hide
    not someone that I allow to drag me, be someone who walks beside
    You give me the hope that I can be strong and let go of the devil's hand
    there is a better life than dancing to the devil's evil band
    You're my prayer I say each night before I go to sleep
    please know that you crossed my mind when I was in too deep
    I didn't want to be embarrassed, if we didn't talk you wouldn't know
    if i didn't see you then there would be nothing I had to show
    I wouldn't let you down like I let myself down every day
    thank you for being who you are, it's for you I pray
    Continue being the light because one day I won't be at his command
    I will see you again even if you choose not to take my hand
    Even if you're not there waiting know that with your help i grew
    I hold no loathing towards you, you just did what i could never do
    It's not the life I wanted, it's one I wouldn't have picked
    with kind regards,
    from yours sincerely,
    your friend the drug addict

I have given her love , I have tried to Tell her it’s ok that she is still my daughter and I’m here for her. But she refuses my help. She is a complete stranger and cold hearted.
    I wish my daughter was the one I raised and I wish I could see her regain custody of my granddaughters.
    She has blamed me for her addiction, it hurts me.
    I wish I could take it away and have her see how this has destroyed her.

    Where are the positive comments about this video? It's amazing. I have never personally used meth or anything like that, but this documentary is extremely well-done and hopefully will open some eyes as to what it's like to be an addict...of any kind.
    Muncie is where I make my home, and it kills me to see that there is so much of this addiction going on. It used to be funny when a fire truck went by and people would say, "Are they on the way to a meth lab?" but it's not funny anymore.
    I want to be safe in my town. I want to know that my friends and family are safe. I want to be PROUD of my town...not ashamed because we're #1 in meth production in the state and country.
    If this documentary helps even just ONE addict, or manufacturer, or casual user stop using, producing, or contributing to this phenomenon of proliference of methampheamine use and manufacture, I would say it's worth viewing.
    And well done, Ball State Students. VERY VERY well done.

      No it's not well done, it's candy coated and you are endorsing it because you are a reverend. Keep it real 'Rev'. The comment right beneath mine (oopalonga) said it best "not much substance. No one said "it wasn't the drugs fault, it was mine." Because that would've been the truth of the matter. How is it that one female can use and not sell her body and another woman use and never sell her body? According to the experts, the libido is one the prime targets of the drug. Not unlike alcohol, one person can drink and want to fight everybody. While another person drinks and gets comical or sad and start crying. What is in you is in you. Using simply opens the gates to let 'it' out.

    Been clean off of Meth for 16 years! Put myself in rehab on my Birthday, December 12th, after my drug dealer/ boyfriend busted through my bedroom window, sodomized me & choked me until I stopped moving. He left me there knowing that my mom and my four-year-old daughter would walk and see me waiting there on my birthday! I flatlined three times and somehow I made it! I know it's possible! I smoked and snorted a 8 ball and a 1/2 a day, and that was just to feel pretty much normal! I told myself at the beginning that I won't/can't get addicted cuz I'm too strong of a person to ever let that happen and I always had control of myself! All it took was a person blowing it into my mouth to start the downward spiral that I couldn't control! So if you think it's not possible believe me it is! And the proudest you feel for yourself is the most beautiful feeling in the world that never goes away!

I overdosed and died. They brought me back. Told me to my face I should be dead. Four days later I found out I was pregnant. It was my first and last time.

Smoke a good Joint and it will stone your ass! Meth can't even give me goosebumps! Poppers will do way more than meth for sex, like 50x the effect. Waste of money.

    I hear for some it is an incredible struggle to get clean and to stay sober. I hope both of you have each other to lean on when it's necessary.
    My husband and father of our kids chose addiction over family life. It's heartbreaking to see how each of my kids were affected and I feel very sorry for my ex-husband for all of the time with some of the most amazing, intelligent, charming, compassionate, responsible people I know (and just because I'm describing my own kids, doesn't mean I'm not doing so objectively). Everybody who cares and loves someone who is a slave to addiction suffers and it's exponentially more painful to watch your children experience that, in my humble opinion

Sending positive thoughts to all who are struggling - I hope they know it's possible to get better as long as they don't give up on themselves. This drug ruined so much for me...almost 3 years later and I'm still trying to get my life back to "normal". It'll never be the same again but I'm so much better off now than I was back in 2016/17.

    Currently on my 4th attempt to quit after a year of on/off functional use…1st attempt lasted a day; relapsed. 2nd attempt right after that high was over lasted 3-4 days; lapsed. 3rd attempt again right after the previous attempts high, lasted a week, drank like a moron, lapsed on meth.
    As I come down from the absolute bonkers amount of meth (I think between 2.5-4 grams in a span of a day) I’ve nasally consumed in this current bender…I watch these to ready myself for this final, 4th, successful attempt yet~
    To all of you trying to stop or who want to stop…You can do this~

Went from 188 to 128 in a years time.. very dark and disturbing place.. if it wasn't for my parents and my babies momma and kids, I wouldn't of made it.. I did it without jail or rehabilitation.. you get to a place we're you start to see and feel death and watching everything evaporate around you.. The combination of everything was finally enough incentive to walk away.. that was 4 years ago.. I wouldn't of survived another year of use. Thank god some of us manage to see the light before it's too late.. good advice would be don't do meth.. and they say not even once for a damn good reason.. some try it once and never touch it again.. but most aren't so fortunate.. doesn't matter how strong willed you believe you are.

Do the steps, 1-12, in order to get the best results, then do them again. First and foremost no matter what don't pick up!

    • @jcarter3238

      Colton S keep going! I am ten years clean from it and it took almost 4 years before I was 100% confident I was back to feeling all experiences the way I did before crystal and I no longer had drug dreams, was just completely done with it. No chance of going back. It's truly a CHOICE. I never did NA because being around users and being that deep into the connection of it just wasn't healthy for me. I decided not to go the 'disease' route and in fact realized it's not a disease. It's simply a choice you have ultimate power over. Once I did that, there was no turning back. But it took so long to balance out chemically speaking after depleting my hormonal sources and up regulating so many receptors in the brain. I firmly believe staying away and just dropping that life and being patient, as well as learning to cope with emotional problems naturally is the key to sobriety. Wish you the best!!

    Probably a good thing because I liked enough I would have just kept using it over and over again.

Dont enable their addiction, enable their recovery.
