- Hey ya'll,
In this video I am showing you how to spot a person addicted to crystal meth.
DISCLAIMER: These are only points that I've personally experienced. You cannot generalize it and have to see everything within a certain context!
Here are the points that I brought up in the video
1. finding the drug itself
2. drug paraphernalia
3. rash erratic changes of mood or behavior patterns
4. asking for money or borrowing money/ items
5. feeling like the person is hiding something

I was super high functioning no one ever noticed, I was able to play it off for years so sad but I’m finally sober God saved me no lie I turned to him and jesus and over night the addiction was gone.
People knew. Just in denial about it
I think an ex was a high functioning addict
word to i feel this heavy been blasted talkin to my fam so many times no k e ever noticed yet
Jesus aint real man..gotta turn to Zeus....or Allah...or Buddha
Ayahuascas and changa works great
I was in a relationship with a crystal meth addict, he was manipulative, could get violent, emotionally abusive, and the next day extremely charming. It took me a very long time to understand that drugs were involved, he lied that he had trauma in the past and that's why he said he had constant mood swings
May I add, it could be possible that he had trauma as well. I know that most addicts use, due to trauma, but not always. There is no precise specificity, in terms of what compels an addict to use in the first place.
@@JoshBruin77 He lied that he had "trauma" from his ex-wife cheating on him and that's why he said he was abusive to me, constantly yelling and accusing me of cheating (I never even thought of doing it). In the end it turned out he cheated on me with several women, his ex-wife never cheated on him, and he used crystal meth in his marriage and throughout his relationship with me 😑 I get what you said about trauma, but this was just a cunning psychopath addict using fake trauma as an excuse to abuse me and to get his way
Same here and mischievous as the devil can be
I dated a sober guy who would do that
15ish years of daily use, I’ll spill the real beans.
Hyper focused on things that are not important. Either insanely clean or filthy- one of the other.
Super productive and creative, then they’re introverted like crazy.
Extreme weight loss, and get ready for it…. Weight gain. Yes, I gained a good bit of weight. Yes, you do eat… it isn’t just malnourished people.
Crazy amounts of sugar intake.
Does the person smell like new car, leather and kinda sweet? Then they start sweating and they smell like cat urine?
Alarming amount of urination?
Frequent random nose bleeds?
Constant sinus issues?
Insatiable sex drive?
Random small arm/leg twitching?
Burnt thumbs? Raw thumbs? Candles everywhere? Butane lighters? Cotton balls?
Wild anger mood swings from nowhere?
Lack of fear? Not cautious about risks?
Any combination of these are a problem.
This poor lady is trying her best, but luckily she didn’t get too involved, obviously.
When I was a user, you wouldn’t have known unless I told you. I promise. I snorted- shot- smoked every single day for over a decade. No “meth” mouth, sunken eyes, lost jobs, literally anything.
Physical deterioration isn’t from the meth chemicals themselves. Rotting teeth- not brushing. Kidney failure- no water.
Heart/brain issues though… can be prolonged but not forever.
Oh, forgetful of words very often and slurring speech.
I just broke with my girlfriend of 8 years and wife of 1 year. She has been using crystal meth since the beginning of the relationship. I never noticed her addiction. In the end she told me that she gets it for free without having to offer sex or paid for it. She recently left the house because I saw a text on her found from another guy telling her " goodnight! Babe". I kick her out of my house and now she is homeless and leaving in an RV with the person who sells crystal meth to all the homeless addicts. It breaks my heart and I feel extremely guilty. Its just not easy to be in a relationship with someone who is addicted to crystal meth. She was very lovely and very romantic. I missed her very much. I hope she gets better.
What where the signs you noticed
"Meth Mouth" or rotten teeth is caused by the malnutrition and dehydration, yes, but also because of the toxicity of the chemicals used in the production of the drug as well as lack of good hygiene habits. Users either actually forget to shower/brush teeth or they are in a position where doing so is very difficult like being homeless.
Meth users are very erratic, their emotions change quickly. Some do pick their skin, but not all. But they are "jumpy", they don't sit or stand still for long periods of time. Users also have a difficult time with being on time. "Tweaker Time" is the term they use for this. A user could promise to be somewhere by 1pm and it could be 30 minutes to 3+ days before they show up, if they ever do. Weight loss is most common but I've known several men that don't lose weight on meth. But, I've never met a user that didn't have the sunken cheeks, bags or dark circles under the eyes and/or increased acne.
It's mainly cause of chronic dehydration and constant grinding
Severe Bruxism brought on by use of potent psychostimulants also causes tooth decay, chipping, and occasionally tooth loss.
So Bruxism is another reason "Meth Mouth" can occur even when proper oral hygiene is practiced during Meth use
I have all this but it's from anorexia and child neglect 🥺
My ex was a beauty and so sad she been hooked on crystal for like 20 years. Oh and she used to have perfect teeth and used to crunch ice cubes with her teeth and I hated that.
So far I’ve only had acne n more darkening under my eyes. I’m not addicted to meth I have done it like 6 times snorting it but I’m more of a coke addict
Also, if the guy can last like 6 hours in Bed, aggressively, and not be able to finish, he's probably high on Meth.
I was a functioning meth addict for 2 years no one noticed. But i did 2 years sober today
that deserves a lot of respect! thanks for sharing and watching :)
If You used everyday someone out there has noticed.
I been on it 3 years now I want to leave it today no one knows I sniff it I want out
@@dozerhernandez7293 yeah dude you need to stop but you might be to deep already. Snorted for 5 years everyday, all day, just work and bust lines. Fucks up your nose bad and eventually you cant absorb no more and that will eventually get you to smoke it and at that point your fucked because smoking it becomes a ritual and u will wish you started smoking sooner due to all the damage done to ur nose and that nasty ass drip. Its been ten fast years
@@clasicks6670 bro I can still due 20 lines if u put them on the table for me trust it's just been 3 years dude wired shit is when my supplier is not here I can go with out it 3 days but then I start looking for it my nose is still good I just dont want to use it no one I sleep and eat like a normal person u won't even know I mess with it bro trust
One thing I noticed with a girl I was with ….meth addicts are also very dependent on prescription drugs like klonopin (benzos) to ease or calm their urge or high and will over use their klonopin. these prescription drugs are just as bad if not worst then meth or heroin.
They become very functional on klonopin but once that wears off it’s like their brain shuts off they feel guilty and they fall back to using meth. It’s a cycle that an addict goes through. They are nice to you they seem normal maybe even free spirited someone that you can relate to in someway but then they become needy they will use your own words against you make YOU feel guilty then they feel guilty and use meth to coup with it and then take some pills so that they can feel like nothing ever happened and then it restarts over and over.
I felt bad for her but mostly very disappointed in myself that I allowed myself to get caught with her lies and manipulation. She would Make it seem like I was the aggressor. But looking back I was mostly upset that she chose the drugs meth, heroin, alcohol, weed, and her prescriptions over a meaningful life. Such a waste. She WAS very talented very beautiful but her sanity was declining rapidly……I just couldn’t be around that anymore. It was affecting my mentality it made me question myself and I ultimately had to let go that no matter how much I try to help or how much I tried to care it was never going to actually help her but rather keep her going back to using over and over. So I left.
At some point ,the addict, makes it easy for you to let go by letting themselves get caught so they won’t have to explain anything to you anymore. They show you who they really are and what they are dealing with. It’s the most disgusting drug on earth and you you have no choice but to walk away from them. It’s a that point when they show you who they really are you will never see that person that you met the same way again you will only see the addict that they are and they will have ZERO respect or a feeling for you.
nothing is harder on your physical body than meth.
I am forcing myself to go no contact with the ex boyfriend addict. He won't admit he even uses.
The pain is more excruciating that narcissistic abuse pain.
Because at least in narcissistic pain you can walk away knowing the person can't love.
In addiction they can love, they're just chosing their addiction over your love.
I'm hurting so badly inside and your comment felt like you were speaking directly to me.
Thank you so much! ❤️🩹
No. We have feelings, and they are real. And genuinely care, but functioning on the same emotional level, consistently as someone not on the same roller coaster, is next to impossible, and the frustration from this for both parties becomes insurmountable for either party. Often times. Everyone's different.
Wonderfully put into words ❤

I’m sorry to have hear about your situation, I have had no contact with my husband for over 1 years. My husband from whom I am now separated began to consume methamphetamine again after being sober for a few years, but this time due to the formulation of the drug he became very delusional and this happened immediately. He accused me of things that I have never done and could never do, he accused me of being unfaithful with mutual friends that we have known since childhood and of being unfaithful with friends of our son, and people from his own family. In addition, the things he would say were so strange and incredible, in general. At first I was confused, but then I realized that I was in denial, in denial that he was back on meth. But when it's your loved one, you put yourself in denial, and you don't see it, and you can't believe it. His parents and his family still deny it, they don't see it because around them he acts quite normal and hides it well, it's not noticeable unless they know what the symptoms are and also unless he unleashing his anger, spurts of anger that he gets sometimes. They tell me that he’s better now, and off the meth, but I don’t believe it to be true, because the only time he would stop meth was when he would be incarcerated and was basically forced to go off of it. It breaks my heart because I was with this man for almost three decades, all thrown in the trash, all because of his addiction. I would like to help him, but because he believes his delusions, he doesn't want to know anything about me, and has cut off all communication with me, it’s been over a year now of no communication. Also due to his drug use our son completely cut off communication with him, because he is so mad at him for using again. The drug definitely affected him differently this time around, he became delusional very quickly, but also this time he actually goes out for a run daily (I know this because his mom has told me) he also talks about God (which is good), but sometimes he would say strange things about God, of which I don't think they are very Christian. But he says that he believes a lot in God and that he leaves everything to God, and that he was chosen by God, that he’s one of God’s warriors, an angel. I don’t know if anyone reading my comment can help me understand, but is it normal when someone is using meth that they speak about God, that they exercise, that he sleeps (because when he used in the past he would be awake for days)and that he actually eats? In the past when he used meth he would not sleep, eat and especially talk about or bring up God. I’m so confused that at times I think I’m the one losing it, this drug is definitely formulated differently now, just to see how quickly it affected my husband and how it affected him this time. I pray for anyone going through this with a loved one, my heart truly goes out to you!
I love that this is half instructional lol. In all seriousness, it's crazy how much we can learn about drugs from other ppls behaviors. Once i learned the signs I didn't know how tf I didn't realize earlier
It's comedy how many people say they are/were functioning addicts. If functioning is merely existing and holding a job down sure
Thank you for taking your time to help your fellow neighbor. It’s a very deceiving drug.
I lost my brother from meth. He is still alive but not in my life no more. I had to kick him out of my life after he tried to kill me. so sad
that is really sad. I hope you are doing well despite that and are able to cope with that loss. lots of love from Germany!
I feel like when they get into meth, they get taken over by a demon. They're not them anymore.
@NintendoGuy67 I did. It's been 64 days no contact
@•HEART BREAKER• I know someone very close to me...almost too close. On the other hand some of the craziest impulsive actions such as killing have came from completely sober people. All I'm saying is that the drug might intensify those feelings but the person could be that way without consuming any substance regardless of being an addict or not.
I wish i could talk to you
The powder form is just the crystal form crushed up. The liquid form is just the crystal form, melted in water.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
This video is really good. You educate in a clear and honest way. I realized how I was unknowingly supporting loved ones to continue their addictions. Makes me feel stupid, but I have learned to stop being manipulated by loved ones. Great job and very informative. I would say this information has changed my actions and my life. Thank you Chantal.❤
Found a meth pipe on the floor of my bestfriend’s bathroom. I brought it to him and he said it wasn’t his. Turned out to be his dad’s. It’s crazy he had been using for years and you never would have known
This is all true I been sober from dope going on two years I used for over 20 years I smoked or ate it I lost all my by the time I was 21 I would get so high I would stay awake for one or two weeks straight an maybe eat one or two meals in that time frame I have disappointed all my family to the point they have turned their back to me if u know any one who struggled with this addiction please don’t give up on they we do need ur help I tried for years and years to get sober and the only way I got sober was the Department of Corrections totally saved my life I have a handful of felony charges from my addiction but I’m sober and I live life one day at a time
He was acting so weird for weeks, he lashed out at me when I opened a drawer to look for a magazine, i found a long tube, but thought it was just for weed. Also, when he would sleep he would do really weird shit, talk in his sleep, in a different language, shake, sweating, different voices, angry at night. He owed me money, never paid it, but bought tons of porn and drugs. After a while I felt like an object that he just used for sex. He wasnt there anymore. Honeetly felt like he was taken over by a demon.
Thank you for sharing, this is heartbreaking. All the best to you and lotsa love from Germany :*
As a meth/speed user we get paranoid and scared when we get caught
I knew someone who got addicted and they def started being obsessed with porn and also turned into a huge conspiracy theorist was so weird
Weird the guy I was recently dating too is a meth user I just recently found out and he also behaves like a demon.
That one's definitely taken over with demons
If the person is down on all fours with a flashlight picking up and eating grains of salt off the floor, that's a good sign too.
That's crack
@@kathleengray4705 you're crack
@@kathleengray4705 and I've always called it carpet surfing.. crackheads are funny af to watch when they get to carpet surfing
@@kevinduffy2502 all stimulant users are familiar with this lmao
Different stimulants have different types of user's, a tweeker and a crackhead are 2 different beast's and then you have the top 3 percenters that do lines .. all you have to do is look at the punishment for coke vrs crack vrs meth..
Your video helped out alot. Thank you for just clarifying everything.
Yu
I was on it reason because I was homeless it's not safe sleep in the streets at night never know what going to happen either get hurt or rape and belongings gets stolen but now am off the streets now am recovery right now it's really hard right now.
I hope your recovery is doing well and thank you for sharing! Lots of love from Germany :*
too many people do not understand how homelessness so often leads to addiction and not the other way around. I got addicted to it after becoming homeless. been clean for over 3 years now, but lost over 3 years of my life to it
I hope you're still on a good road to recovery
I love when people talk about drugs- and have no idea about them
Yeah shedint know nothing....you deff can't smoke or snort or break down or shoot up the crystal form smhf
Thank You for sharing and best of life to you in your recovery and life!!
Everything, everything you mention is something I experienced with someone I dated last year. I was clueless until I found the tiny bag of drugs in his jeans pocket one night when he was on a bender of note. I felt stupid, betrayed and angry at myself mostly. All the signs were there including the manipulation and lies - I didn't know about drugs and what to look out for then. That was MY mistake AND ignoring my intuition. Needless to say, my eyes have been opened. I thank God that toxic relationship ended before it was way too late for me. Thank you for sharing this video. Stay safe everyone and remain vigilant.
and use protection, just in case!
I perked up to the part about choosing the drug over you. It hurts.
This is interesting, and your American accent is amazing. My kid got mixed up with this. Glad he grew up before it was too late.
I work at a liquor store and I tried to help these people and respect them and I learned my lesson. These people have lost their soul they will do what ever to get high hurting you, robbing you, lying to you, tricking you. Whatever I don’t hate them I just hate what they do. They come in 10+ times a day, and I feel bad but these people are animals. I don’t say this lightly I have to defend the older drug addicts (almost all are veterans) and they don’t care what happens they will turn tricks for meth or stab you for it. They are people but they are DAMAGED they will hurt you
you are so right , I remember myself before I can't control and I don't feel sorry for anyone i was literally psycho until now I'm fine and I have friends and a good life after I stopped but I still don't have empathy like before it , now I don't hurt ppl I never start a fight or something but! because I really don't care 😐 I will never get my feelings back
Not true
They haven’t lost their soul, every human being no matter how low they have been laid has one. I am sorry it is rough to work with.
That simply not true. Maybe so for some addicts, but I've never done anything immoral to get high. Been using for 5 years. It sucks, but I will never compromise my morals for it.
I think it has a lot to do with how young you are when you started using. The younger you are your brain is developing still so if you start using it becomes wired to want the drug much more than if you started when you were older. IMO if you start younger, your brain wants it and will do anything to get it.
A person can easily display none of those 5 signs. Some people can completely have their ducks in a row aside from the usage. Some addicts/habitual users can play out their habit/addiction by being impeccably in order. They may prepare you a delicious dinner while meticulously and quickly cleaning knives, cutting boards, measuring cups etc... between cooking steps so that everything used to prepare the dinner is clean and put away before it is served, concluding with them taking your dirty dishes away and washing them immediately after eating before wiping off the dinner table. The inside of the refrigerator can be spotless and organized, floors, sinks, and countertops all pristine and wiped down with Dr. Bronner's peppermint soap to keep insects at bay. Then they do a quick once-over wiping down the entire bathroom to provide a clean relaxing environment for you to relax in as they draw you a bath with eucalyptus epsom salt, lavender oil, and 1/4 of a mildly aromatic foaming bath bomb. Afterwards you emerge refreshed from your bath and head to the bedroom to climb under the perfectly wrinkle-free puffed up comforter. You go to sleep, and they come to join you sometime around sunrise.... unless of course that particular night is "romance night" in which case you will also be up until the witching hour and happily wake up late for work a couple hours later.
Reading this like a page from my life lol
The problem is that everyone is told that being an addict is bad. Most people have this precinceived notion that addicts hate getting high. That they don't really want tobe high and that's just not true. Addicts get high because they want to. It's not wrong. It's just how one person deals with emotions and specific life situations. Everyone thinks addicts are bad people and someone everyone should steer clear of. Which couldn't be further from the truth. When you meet an addict know that you are meeting one of the strongest people you will ever meet on this planet. The people that are always saying to stay away from addicts and that addicts are this or that. . . Those people have most often not had any but of a rough life. Rough lives are what makes someone incredibly strong. Think about it. The ones that have had life just easy. . . That's the weakest link. Addicts are true warriors of the world.
Informative, articulate and very brave? My abuse only last less than a year but I still wake up terrified I’m using again or that my brain will never change. You have done well!
I had those dreams for 5 years almost every night, so vivid and realistic,it started to occur less and less for the next five Untill I couldn't remember the last dream I had about using.
The ways I identify my stepfather’s meth addiction is with mostly psychological symptoms. Physically he doesn’t lose much weight or have decaying teeth, so you wouldn’t be able to notice it from sight alone. Instead, he becomes emotionally colder, argumentative, sees everyone and everything as a problem in his life, cleans excessively, and goes several nights without sleep. His personality changes dramatically under the influence of this substance and has caused great damage to relationships with most of his family.
Oh dear, yes that also happens with most users... I also didn't see the physiological signs with my partner that time. It was mostly psychological. Stay strong and all the best to you
@@Chantalthiel I appreciate the comment. At least in your case they were more charming and friendly. All of my stepfather's pain came to the forefront and out in the open when he was on meth. He also would not stay at home with his children, which is obviously quite common when you're addicted to most substances. The addiction and people that came with it became his life. I will stay strong through all of this. I have learned how to handle him when he's behaving that way until he cleans his act up or has to move out.
@@BrendenNichols Yeah I agree with you! Don't get me wrong though, my ex was super toxic and behaved really badly.. sometimes he would keep me up all night until I gave him money and other days he would bully and belittle me for having friends and a life... We also had a lot of physical altercations... I wish he was just deteriorating from the outside instead of within.... What about you moving out or are you too young still? I got that comment too tough and I always thought I can't get away or move out or that I have to push through when I really didn't have to...
@@Chantalthiel Yeah, meth is a horrible drug that changes a person from the inside out. All of the things you described him doing to you is what my stepfather would do to my mom. He would get paranoid and grab her phone. He would leave the house to go “run an errand,” when all he really wanted to do is get high with his fellow addicts. He would lie and constantly deny about his drug abuse, then suddenly blame the stress others put on him as the reason why he relapsed. It’s a lifelong battle for those with addiction, but myself and anyone else dealing with a person like this has to look after themselves. An addict will fight tooth and nail with you to protect their addiction and continue using their drug of choice until they are sent to rehab or you walk out on them. Everyone’s rock bottom is different. Everyone’s triggers are different. I try to understand that about him as best I can because it helps when there is support around them. He’s caring, likable, and comfortable to be around, but when that other side comes out after using again, it can be a living nightmare. I’m so sorry you had to endure all of that, but I’m really glad you did what was best for you. It’s always important to take care of yourself first.
My situation is bit more complicated than most. I’m physically disabled and have nowhere else to stay currently. I don’t feel like he will harm me but being around his destructive behaviors is extremely unpleasant and stressful. I’ve had conversations with a couple of my relatives if things get out of hand again, so I’ll go wherever I have to in order to stay safe.
@@BrendenNichols I think that you have assessed the situation quite well and are very aware of the ups and downs and kudos to that! I wasn't nearly as clear as you are back then. I hope things will get better for you and should you ever need to reach out or need someone to talk you, I'm here :)
My partner is supposedly sober,but lately she’s been constantly asking for money. One day she’s super nice, the next day she’s angry or emotional. It messes with my head. We’ve been in a relationship for 9 years and nothing changes. I am emotionally and mentally drained.
That seems like a sign she might still be using. You probably can feel it too. The bigger question is, what is stopping you from leaving and are you the reason she isn't sober? Not the reason as in you are pushing her to do it, rather maybe you are enabling her because you support her no matter what. Support sometimes comes while taking care of yourself first. When she is ready to change, you will support her. Hope that helps and lots of love from Germany
It sounds like you are going through a difficult and exhausting situation. Communication and understanding are crucial in a relationship. It may be helpful to have an open and honest conversation with your partner about your concerns and how their behavior is affecting you.
Wow, I never knew any of that stuff. I just learned a lot from you. Thank you very much for the educational video now it all makes sense.
Hi. I'm a daily crystal meth addict I use it intravenously and shot up 3 times a day. I want to quit but the problem is whenever im trying to quit, ill be throwing fits of anger at anyone, binge eating lots of carbs and having weird dreams. I don't really mind the anger as long as nobody purposely get my nerves and the dreams, but i can't stand the binge eating. I was overweight before using meth and primary reason for using meth is to lose lots of weight. I did lose weight while using meth but im afraid of gaining back weight.
Hey there. What makes you afraid of gaining weight? It's a normal part of being sober, at least at the beginning. Try to focus on sobriety rather than your weight, since that is always temporary. Maybe find a way to balance it out with workouts, different past times or different choices of food while you are staying sober. All the best to you!
Most handsome guy on Earth i have the exact same problem, but i just use amphetamine
Man I started doing meth for the exact same reason! I’m obsessed with getting fat. I guess this is more common than I expected!
If they're doing something it's not the drugs falt thouse actions are in that Pearson already you can never assume that everyone is the same many many people are descent drug user's the moral background is important for any life style don't lose composure be accountable be truthful be respectful and a desent loving personality
Some people, who have personality disorders already, use drugs, alcohol and other addictions to feel something.
How to know if somebody you are close to is taking jt ? Right after taking it the most significant sign is stomach making weird sounds almost as if the person would be starvingly hungry :)
I shouldve listened to whole thing before last comment. My bad. Her personal experience I have no question about but her facts in beginning were off. I applaud her for making the video as it seems to have been of help to many and there;s nothing wrong with that. Wish I could delete my first comment. It's probably difficult for a non addict to make such a video. Thumbs up.
Thanks for that! I already deleted it ^^
The great sex is the hardest (no pun intended) thing to give up, and may be a reason for relapse for some.
I’m not addicted to meth, but for some reason I like watching video like this one bc I’ve dated many meth addicts that hid it. So I consider myself smart and wanna know what I didn’t know about know and didn’t understand about someone on meth.
With your experience, maybe be you can enlighten me. I have had no contact with my husband for over 1 years. My husband from whom I am now separated began to consume methamphetamine again after being sober for a few years, but this time due to the formulation of the drug he became very delusional and this happened immediately.

In the past when he used meth he would not sleep, eat and especially talk about or bring up God. I’m so confused that at times I think I’m the one losing it, this drug is definitely formulated differently now, just to see how quickly it affected my husband and how it affected him this time. I pray for anyone going through this with a loved one, my heart truly goes out to you!
I love how people in the comment section and people who use drugs in general say I used drugs and nobody knew.
Allow me to say that people do know and they are aware that you abuse drugs, however it’s not for us to judge or mention it.
Secondly it’s your own life to live and nobody cares if you do or don’t do drugs.
I can tell if someone has used and will never say a word about it or let on that I know.
The other persons drug use has nothing to do with me.
either way if it makes you feel better about yourself of others don’t know, then so be it.
This video seems strange to me. I live in very rural area. And I suppose things of changed dramatically in the years since you made this video. The meth cooks have disappeared since Mexican cartels have started supplying it and it is all cut with fentanyl. The tweakers here…you can spot them as soon as you see them. I was away and they broke into my house and relived me of about $250,000 worth of property. Thus, I have been going out and interacting with them. It is fascinating to me how similar their personalities are so similar. They simply cannot tell the truth about anything and even when they are spun and seemingly uncontrollably manic, just a bit of aggression from me turns them into simpering wretches who can do nothing but try to make me feel sorry for them. Strangely, my anger has subsided and I do feel badly for them. I just lost some stuff. They are losing their lives.
A lot of the time people use straws. I would find cut straws on the ground in bathroom stalls while cleaning indicating someone used in there.
Mt husband waking up after 3 day sleep, he gets sick aggravates he will start to give me talk but change n life, n there I know he's looking 4 it, when he's on he's very talkative sweet attention to detail he's great , but after few first day , he will start hear see the world different, husband never has monet we have bank and we have been shared account but I had there for his allowance he wasn't working.

I opened a case that a weed pipe was supposed to go in, I always knew there was something up with my mom I always sort of knew that she was on some type of drug. I opened the case because I had smoked weed at the time and it was a meth pipe. I had opened it in front of my mom, she started crying so I asked what it was and she said it was meth. Now I’ve done research on it and realized that now she probably is off of it like she says
But her boyfriends hasn’t gotten off of it 💀
Unfortunately, even if you are aware, you can't help them. The other issue is, they can also start stealing. It's a terrible situation when you know. And especially if they are blood related. When you have to watch their moves and set up security systems. Help!
oh absolutely! Thanks for your feedback :) Lots of love from Germany
I never stole when I smoked crack and still have yet to steal for meth.
I only party when I get money
Thank you it sure makes sense to how I remember someone I once knew.
My mom was addicted to meth for like almost 10 years and I was taken away when I was like 10 and eventually stoped then got me back then she relapsed and lost her job and house when I was 13 and we lived with my grandma and grandpa we literally had nothing then I lived with my brother and she stayed with my grandparents we moved states out of nowhere and she wanted to get better then we got an apartment she got a good job and a new car everything was good for 2 years I am now 15 years old and she’s acting weird now and I don’t know if she’s using again if I ask anything relating her using she gets all defensive and is always sleeping but she works weird hours but I’m not sure if it’s a sign or not please reply to this comment for advice
hey there, I am sorry you have to go through that! And I think your fears that she might be using again might be true. When she is gone try to look for paraphernalia like sachets or a pipe. I think someone who has nothing to hide wouldnt be defensive. Follow your gut feeling and maybe ask for help with your grandparents or brother. Be strong and I know you can get through this! Lotsa love from Germany to you!
Wow u r right in middle of it, so smart to look thus up. The time will pass, u will grow up so sorry hun
As someone who uses Speed for my Eating Disorder I feel it’s so hard I am trying to quit but I feel I can not quit my ED is the one that decides I am seeing help with NA and substance use workers i hate that someone I know told my friend when they promise they wouldn’t also you forgot when they start carpet surfing or spraying the bedroom with air freshener
Is 9 mo use consider long term I want to quit to regain control of my life and sustainability. Desperate, I lost control of my whole life.
Hi there, anything used longer than a 6 week period is considered long term, but I think that doesn't really matter.. what matters is that you fulfill your wish of quitting and regaining control. All the best to you!
+taly cali Don't get caught up in "short term", "long term" or any of these qualifiers. You know using is a bad decision, so it doesn't matter if you're doing it once or for 10 years straight.
The good news is that you CAN quit and get your life back! You just have to truly want it, and - more importantly - be willing to make the sacrifices and changes needed to get clean. That means staying away from all drugs and alcohol, and staying away from people who are getting high (which is one of the hardest things you'll have to do).
I don't know you personally, but I KNOW you can get clean! Trust me; if I could do it, anyone can! I believe in you, and I'm pulling for you. Be strong and best of luck!
get cha shit together girl
It doesnt matter if its 9 mon. Weeks ,days, hours or even minutes. Just the fact that you got lost at all is to long to go on. Some people can do the drug while others the drug does them. .. So quit regain control and never look back.
I been smokin meth since I was 15 still got all my teeth except two in the back… I’m ready to quit while I still got some left fr
I been with my partner for about 6 years.. she been clean off it for 4 years and the moment she picked up this summer. it was one time turn into numerous time. I was normally smarter then this because I would normally be able to find out if she was using. I ended up confronting about her but every time I confronted her she thought I was lecturing her but when all I was doing is helping her better herself . But short story short. she ran off with another dude. and is keeping my kid away From me. it amazing what this drugs does
I am so sorry to hear that. I think the drug brings out the worst in people but only if they are capable. There is always a reason for using and maybe she wanted to escape her responsibility and blame you for everything because it's easy....I hope that you will be able to get your kid back or at least see it. All the best!
First of all let me just say I’m sorry for what you went through. I myself is dealing with an addict. My husband doesn’t seem to hear anybody out that he has a problem . Don’t know what to do anymore. He’s missing out on our kids lives. Hope you can see your kid again
So former uses may gain a lot of weight cause the this stimulant metabolism falls away.
Hi Crystal. I’m the only member of my family not using what they call ICE. I recently broke up with someone because they started using again. Why do I keep finding myself close to people who use even though I’m sober? Is there anything I can do to support my family if they want to get sober?
Hi there, that's usually trauma talking. Our system looks for patterns that feel safe. Abuse feels safe so your system will feel familiar. Familiar doesn't mean good in this case. The best thing to do is to support yourself first and make sure you are stable so that you have the capacity to help if they are serious about it. Love - Chantal
Change your 1st name
This video is the worst kind of dangerous. Mainly because this lady has absolutely no idea what she is talking about. She is wrong about so much so go ahead and listen to what she says and you will never be able to spot a meth addict.
I'm new to your channel, definitely 👍 enjoy the information I'll don't do drugs, had a girl friend that lived with me that became addicted to Herion and putting up with her was not good, thanks for sharing this information with your audience.
aw thank you for watching! Lotsa love from Germany!
Why doesn't she have any Lateral incisors? or incisors? Is she using a Mask Filter?
My. Wife. Stared. Using. Meth. After she had. Covid long covid left her depressed and affected her behavior. Apparently she stared taking. Meth to give her some energy and fight depression.
She lost her. Job. Then people. Stopped coming around two months. Aftee she lost her job she violently. Attacked. While i was sleeping. Then there were otter voilent. Episodes. I started leaving. Whenever. She started. Acting. Strange. Then come back laterd and things. Seemed all better so i left one time when i felt things were about to get dangerous. I came. Back. And found her dead from on overdose. I had know. What was going on after she died a friend of hers. Said she knew about it but. Wasn't going to tell me. Because. She. Wanted not to break her trust. If only she had told me. I may. Have figured out a way to help her. I miss her so much
I'm currently a high function . No one knows to this day
For how long at this time?
The crystal form can be snorted..its called a Hottrail..by heating a glass tube on one end with a torch
Or you do it the Tuco way💯
TIGHT TIGHT TIGHT
This is basically a narrated episode of COPS. I work around tweakers everyday, just look for repeated jerky movements and funny dancing.
I’ve observed the same whenever I’ve been around people who are dependent on meth.
The number one thing I’ve noticed about the way they move around is how they kind of jerk & twist while walking or shifting their posture.
Its difficult to describe to anyone who’s never seen it, but it appears as though their torso is ‘lagging’ behind their hips/legs when the move around, & their arms somewhat flail around.
my story is the same as yours i had never been around anyone or seen any meth so i was 19 and met my brothers friend we started talking then we ended up going out (i guess i should of thought something when i first met him he was in a full body cast and his jaw wired shut cause someone had beaten him up and left him for dead basically) but anyway thats beside the point i fell so in love with this guy and he was 10 years older and had already been married and divorced but then he started changing he always wanted to argue with me or yell and i would leave pist off because i was so confused then a few days would go by id call and his mom grandma would say oh honey hes sick and has been sleeping for days and then hed call and say sorry and id go see him and everything fine for a day or two and i would think about breaking up with him but wouldnt then one day we went swimming and i went to take a shower and in the bathroom was a bag of meth i had been researching because my friend had said he was on it so my heart sank to the floor i was so mad at him i flushed it down the toilet went and threw the bag at him and told him don't call me again and i left...long story short we went back and forth a few times but nothing ever changed but we are still friends after 20 years but still nothing has changed..
Hey thanks for sharing your experience... sometimes nothing changes but you are in control of your behavior and you can definitely change that :) Lots of love from Germany!
My uncle has been using a lot. I dont what to tell him. What should I do. I'm afraid hes going to overdoes he had kids. Please help😔
Do you have relatives you can talk, to get support and help from them? It helps when you are not doing it alone!
I never did meth but marijuana is my drug of choice and alcohol . I no longer drink or do drugs .proud I'm drug free and alcohol free i had to get help
Look at the eyes
And how he/she moves the body
Yes!! Pupils dilated and lose their shape.. they(pupils) look black fried eggs
Yeah my eyes give it away instantly and my voice cracks when I get paranoid
So the pupils will appear bigger/wider when someone is using meth?
yes, but a lot of other drugs or substances do that too... There are also people who naturally have wider pupils
I don't know if you will see this comment, I have been searching for what meth smells like? and You Tube suggested this tonight, but your description of its smell didn't tell me much. When my windows are open at night I smell an acrid rubber chemical smell occasionally, im trying to figure out what it is, and meth or crack is one of the many possibilities? Can you explain the smell of meth better so I can either rule it out, or continue on? Thank you for your time.
go buy a can of starting fluid for vehicles. spray a large burst and sniff. it will be similar but way less noticable
@@slongger Really I'm not looking for the smells of manufacturing, but the smell of its use. I worked as a mechanic for my father at a young age I know what ether smells like. This is a burnt rubber type of smell. I knew someone who smoked crack but I only smelled them smoking it once, I don't think it smells like that, so I think it might be meth?
Hi there. I found out last week that my daughter is addicted to meth. The smell I queried with her was similar to your experience. Like burning plastic. Definitely chemical. I would ask her what she was burning and she told me I'm delusional. Sad really. 🌻
Seems like the same thing that happened with oxycodone is now happening with Adderall. The pills dried up & users are seeking alternatives in the form of heroin, fentanyl, crystal meth etc. 🤔🤔🤔
I'm about 6 min in and I am waiting to hear from the German here about how Hitler popularized this drug back in the day.....
What if someone is trying to hide their addiction? What are the signs? What are the initial signs on the early stage of using meth?
Hi there, my ex tried to hide it a lot but the problem for me was that I met him when he was already addicted so the behavior seemed normal. This is where it comes down to gut feeling or physical signs like picking on skin or not eating much, not having to sleep. You will find many more online. Also initial signs are not as evident only that the person may seem more energized and can get a lot of things done seemingly. Maybe they might ask for money but many can also afford it initially. I hope this helps.
Straight up this is the truth. I would know.
- long trips to the restroom
-many lighters or torches
-hyper response to everything
- obsessed grooming
-nocturnal schedule
- isolation
-cold and empty emotions
Clasick 66 yes exactly this.
Just had an idea. Going to start a kick starter for a new edition of an old game. Guess Who : Meth Addict Edition.
Im in a relationship with a meth head and all those symptoms are true. He's very sensitive, always lashes out, starts fights for no reason, never touches me or hates when I touch him and super paranoid etc. He recently told me he's never sober, but I'm confused because his eyes are never dilated, he eats a lot and doesn't steal. Also has a very low sex drive...
Hey there, first of all thanks for watching and reaching out. Not every person needs to have the same symptoms, maybe his body is so used to the drug that his eyes don't dilate that much anymore and I also know people addicted to meth who kept eating. Stealing is always a sign of desperation to me at least and it has a moral component. A person could be addicted to drugs in general and never really have to steal a penny in their lives. If someone already tells you they are addicted to meth just take it at face value and work with it however you see fit. My ex tried to hide it for a long time, so he must trust you :) All the best to you!
@@Chantalthiel Of course :) He did keep it a secret for a couple months until i had to find out for my self with all the symptoms and his erratic behavior, blaming me for everything and it sucks because i always try to help him and talk him into quitting but hes very hardheaded and stubborn and says its the only thing that makes him happy. I know i should leave him cuz tbh its been a living hell and theres so much hes done i dont even want to mention cuz its super painful but its very hard for me to fathom that and i love him so much especially seeing him through all this hard ship. Im just hoping and praying he changes one day
@@Kim-dz8lh there are so many things I'd love to share with you but also so many things I'd like to ask. feel free to email me via chantalfantasyfiles@gmail.com... I'm sure it must be a rollercoaster ride for you but at the bottom line; your life is about you and the more you take care of yourself the more it will either be his loss or the more he will live up to the man he should be for you. It's his full responsibility that you shouldn't carry an ounze of and also if drugs make him happier than spending time with his significant other you might be surprised how many fish in the sea there really are.... You have to make your own decisions and your own experience as well...you may have to be pushed to the edge to really see what's in front of you or you will really see why you stick with him and which fear is really holding you back from leaving...again sooo many thoughts but I dont wanna impose too much... take good care of yourself!!
@@Chantalthiel sorry for the late reply ! Barely seen your message but yes it has been A rollercoaster ride. Id love to hear what u have to share with me and please feel free to ask away ! Feels good to know someones whos been in the same situation and so i dont feel so alone.
I think the guy I'm with is on it. I just thought he was crazy... Then realized his skin was so bad suddenly...Then realized he has dentures. At such a young age. He looks so much older. I actually feel so bad for him.
You can absolutely inject the crystal form if it's dissolved in water and you can absolutely snort the crystal form if you break it down with a credit card.
yes, but is that necessary to mention when you just want to recognize a person who uses?
@@Chantalthiel well absolutely yes. Sorry if I've offended you but you were the one who was talking about how certain forms were used and now you come across as if I was missing the point or something. Come on. You're video came across that you were not clear on what you were talking about anyhow and heaps of holes in it. But thanks for the video 🍻
@@salvatorespalato3503 Yes you are also right, sorry for that as well :) Thanks for adding value.
@@Chantalthiel ❤️🇭🇲
Or a hard paper too I do it when i crush it you can smoke the crushed crystal form
You know it's ok to say addict. I was taught years ago that once you are... you always will be. My Dad taught me when he was an alcoholic.,.. you will always be...it just depends on how you react. Someone that doesn't use that word only means you're sweeping the problem under the rug .
The meth pipe you spoke of, I do have 1, but I only smoke weed out of it.
I used to be addicted to heroin for close to 15 years straight, but today I don't even want to take a Lortab if I had surgery. Not even some small part of me.... it just upsets me to think about. I'm no longer a heroin addict. You can leave addiction behind. The only reason people tell addicts that they will always be an addict of this drug or that drug is because 12-step programs tell them these things erroneously. You can put opiates in front of me and I will reject the opiate 10x out of 10
@@jellyrollthunder3625 yes... but a lot of people that if they have an occasional urge.... and don't act on it.... it's bad. Those things will happen.
@@evamoore2297 perhaps it will for some people but I think a big part of that is this 12-step culture of addicts telling themselves they are "addicts for life". I honestly don't think that fixating on your addiction 24/7 makes it any easier. All it did for me was keep the addiction alive even though I wasn't using. Being able to distance myself from the addiction and the other addicts who came with along with it was the best thing I had ever tried. I went in and out of 6 different rehabs that just kept pushing me further down this 12-step road where I'm sure to be told I'm completely powerless over my addiction and that that I'm and addict for life, and how medically assisted recovery was "just trading one addiction for another", etc. But once I left NA I finally realized that the program was WRONG about all those things because I relocated away from stomping grounds, started taking suboxone and the rest is history. I'm coming up on 12 years without having even a single temptation to used heroin. The hardest part is just getting to that point where you can distract yourself from the addiction long enough to forget it was there.
This broad is a ding bat!
Husband had all these , the guitar music sad
Another sign is extreme dry mouth
Addict meaning physically bodily addiction...then after shock mentally is a difference, depends upon length of and means of usage...I never got hooked on it,many years ago did have a year long binge while working as a a busboy at a busy restaurant...was a long time ago...I am to this day glad I quit before ice crystal blew up...I have good lifetime friends who have literally lost to one foot in the grave
...and that is why stick to weed and beer ...ha
@@josephhickman1306 same
Thank you for this video it was very informative. Makes me sad and upset that my husband is doing this drug . He’s missing out in our kids lives
+Jasmine Blue I'm so sorry to hear that! Hopefully, he's gotten clean since this message and started making positive changes in his life.
If not, please just try to remember that hard drugs like meth will make people do and say things they normally wouldn't otherwise. I know that can be difficult, especially when the person is hurting you or your loved ones with their actions. Hopefully, when and if he does get clean, the damage won't be irreparable and you'll be willing to forgive any mistakes he'll have made.
I never was strung out on meth, but I was badly addicted to heroin and cocaine for many years, and I did bad things to people I cared about (mainly my family, and mainly involving stealing money or stuff I could sell), things I would NEVER do now. It consumes you and pretty much controls you, to where the only thing that matters is getting high. I imagine meth is the same exact way.
It took a while to have a good relationship with the people I hurt, but they gave me a second chance and I've been so blessed to have them back in my life. A lot of people never get clean and never get a second chance with their family and friends, so I know I'm lucky.
I just hope your husband gets through this and still has people who love and care about him. Judging by your message, it sounds like you do care about him and want what's best for him. Best wishes to you and yours!
U are right wat u just said and it hurts me to know that I'm missing out also on my sons life ...I cry everyday and miss him evryday and do to that im slowly getting better and better in recovering evryday......thank u for ur life reminder comment I am a step closer to reuniting with my family and recovering from addiction
I really appreciate this honesty.
I tried it a few times off and on with my (ex) best friend.
Thank you for watching! How did it make you feel?
@@Chantalthiel It made me miserable, paranoid, anxious. I wanted to eat so bad but it hurt. My lips & mouth would get dry. My urine disgusted me.
My fingernails were dirty. Every thing about it was dirty. I’ll never forget the taste. We used via smoking, snorting & parachuting. I have never used needles/sharps. The people we came across always told me you never want to stop once you hit the veins. I think that’s the only thing that kept me from going that way.
@@misstaylor4064 that sounds awful! I'm glad you gained distance from it
How was your experience!?
Thanks for the advice.
No one knew I used for over 10 years and still don’t know!!
Me too. Thought I was the only one. 😬
We can be pretty sneaky, but also, I think everyone has a different chemical balance. So when they give ADHD people adderrall , it doesn’t necessarily make them tweak, it actually calms them down. I think I may have had ADHD actually I think mine was ADD, I had a hard time focusing and when I do this stuff it helps me focus and get stuff done. It’s basically like taking a diet pill, like phentermine. And I don’t party like most, I work a lot. So that’s my reason for using, what was or is your reason? Was it to have fun or to lose weight? I first started it to help me drop the baby weight from having 3 large baby boys , 10lbs, 9lbs and 8lbs.
Nice talking to you and have a great day!!😉😃 look forward to hearing back from you.
@@melkm74 We may think nobody knows.
Both of my parents are doing it due to a friend persuaded them to do it now they won't stop.
that's so sad, let me know if you need someone to talk to! lotsa love from Germany :*
well you can't blame the friend. They do it because they choose to do it for themselves. And regardless of who ever introduced them to it, it's not that persons fault. And can you really ever classify someone as a friend, when they bring poison into another's life?
*All in all, i liked the vid and that it was super informative but then i also noticed that you paused a lot, thinking what to say next, especially towards the end there.. So one advice that I'll give you here whenever doing such videos, especially when recording yourself, talking infront of a camera, giving such long detailed interviews on stuffs, is to always prepare in advance, a list of things that you'd be saying during the talk.. Like you may just write it down on paper, just note down all the main points there, and whenever you'd blacking out, just have a quick peek at those main points that you highlighted there and you'd then instantly know what to say next or know the things that you missed, which like this the moments of you taking these small embarrassing breaks to think and all, would be pretty much non existant hehe.. And i know that you had well prepared yourself up ahead, of all the things that you had to say for this particular vid here, you had all the things memorized and maybe you practiced couple times before but then when it came to doing the actual vid, when time came for you to record yourself and getting into it, you just happen to black out from time to time smh, which is very understandable as not all of us are blessed with some super brain skills and very good memory, so there's just no shame into writing down all of your main points, if not literally everything in details on paper and then checking them out from time to time, just so that you'd then be able to do a very good video of you talking infront of the camera on such topics..* 🙂🤗
I’m nervous I have been getting many of these meth vids in my feed… but I am nowhere near meth, as far as I know… what is my phone trying to tell me!? Who am I around that might be searching this or this might pop up with?!?
The term ‘Functioning Addict is a temporary term. Addicts either quit or continue into a chronic progressive disease which is addiction.
What about wanting to have sex 24/7.
And the best way to find out is keeping eye contact.
U will notice no cuz they red or wide open
But becUse there's something different that can be spot if u put close atention
Thanks for sharing this 👍 great information about people and drugs 💉
Yo cant snort a meth it's so bitter, in the phillipines they use glass pipe or aluminum foil then heated with a lighter and smoke it and then boom it's like son Goku super Saiyan lV but after the effect they're like a rotten meat loaf
I found a meth pipe in my step dads suv n i have been having panic attacks about it since
Oh dear I hope you'll feel better soon! First of all observe and only confront if you feel like he displays erratic behavior. You'll be fine and breathe!! Maybe talk to a friend or family member that you can trust and see what you can do together...its not your responsibility to carry as well...Lots of love from Germany and let me know if you habe questions!
How do you know it’s a meth pipe?
@@sashahoh2843 i saw it fully, a lot of my family on my moms side are heavy drug users, I have a good idea of one looks like. They don’t look anything like a crack or weed pipe
Just want to say to make this better informative.. crystal and powder form can be smoked, injected, or snorted. People even eat it and "boof" it. Not explaining the last one. There are many ways to do it. Dont be fooled that if someone has powder or Crystal's that they aren't shooting it or snorting it. It can be crushed and mixed with water. You do NOT have to have any items in order to use meth. Theres also hot rails which can be done with the stem of a pipe. If your stomach hurts or you're not hungry and notice feeling antsy it can be a sign you've gotten contact from someone smoking around you. But you do NOT have to have a pipe to smoke from a foil. Very good video however. Thank you for bringing more awareness.
Thanks for adding that! And yes you are absolutely right! Lotsa love from Germany :*
Yes that's right
Boofing meth is bad it makes you bleed you can parachute it
You are brave and beautiful i love this thank you
the word "addict" is condescending? that is literally what a person **addicted** to drugs is....an **addict**
you don't like the name of what people **addicted** to drugs is? then don't use drugs
Facts 100 dude u are the best guy lmao
Totally don't get what she meant by that, I'm a recovering addict and that's how I label myself - I don't see how it's condescending or offensive when it's accurate?
Just because you use drugs doesn’t make you an addict
I think she meant that they are still a human first rather than being downgraded to addict
Yes exactly, some people use it condescendingly and others might identify themselves as addicted but might clinically not be so. I just wanted to focus on the person that is addicted to a substance.
My sons father is addicted to meth I’m not with him anymore because of it he hides it so well very dangerous
thanks for sharing and for watching! I hope he will recover some day and you are right its dangerous :( lots of love from Germany :*
Im a user right now i want to quit but i cant my brain and body keeps telling me to i need to smoke it and i cant control it my family dont know im suffering from addiction
I tried to keep out of it for a week i feel weak and sick
Hi there, that's totally normal because you have withdrawal symptoms. Maybe it's easier for you if you get professional help. If you don't want to tell your family, you can always say you are currently sick and seek a treatment facility that can support you in your journey. For some it also helped telling one family member that won't judge or shun you, but yeah family can always be difficult about it. All the best for your recovery
@@Chantalthiel thanks for the advise i'll try again if i can do more further until i can manage to stop 😢😢
Im the same as u bro. Grandparents have no idea about my meff use. Ive relapsed multiple times but im gonna try again tomorrow and get rid of all my meff
I’m in recovery and also congratulations on your recovery but question I see so many recovering meth addicts and their teeth are still great like are they dentures veneers?? My teeth are so bad I’m 43 but also I’m on methodone I know that’s played a role
Look in the eyes and feel their soul. A meth head has lost touch with their soul they look hurt and dead inside. It’s a lot easier than you think
Someone I was romantically involved with was secretly doing meth and I had no idea. It's amazing how I didn't see the signs.
I have a person lives right next to me whom smokes crystal meth everyday non- stop smoking crystal meth 24-7
That's a lie it's harder to over dose on meth than other drugs but you can overdose on meth easily so there is no way he could smoke meth all day I was a drug user off and on through 9 to 28 i stopped but I hate when people lie about shit because it's judgemental and your joking around about reality people struggle with addiction and it's sad please don't lie about shit hope you make good decisions God bless you

You remind me of myself, I was in a relationship 4 years ago.. he was a user. I was oblivious to his "secret" at first but then found out, started with his attitude changing. Then finally found the drug, the pipe, baggies and so on. Now I've done so much research on this drug, trying to understand how this affects someone and the people around them.
So glad you did research I keep giving links on how to support as a speed user that wants to quit
@@goodra999 thank you
I can relate. My now estranged husband started doing meth again after being sober for a few years, but this time due to the formulation of the drug he became very delusional and it happened immediately. Accused me of things I’ve never done or could never do. Also the things he would say were so weird and unbelievable, in general. At first I was confused, but then I realized I was in denial, and that, that I’m educated and have a degree in this subject. But when it’s your loved one, you put on your blinders. His parents and family are still in denial, they don’t see it because around them he acts pretty normal and he hides it well, unless you know what to look for. It breaks my heart because I was with this man for almost three decades, all thrown away due to his addiction.
So I just pray he can get the help he needs to get off this drug and recover. 😢
It costs $20,000 to clean an apartment just from a little meth smoked in it. We had to rip down the drywall and dispose of appliances. They told us that the chemicals longer years after on objects that are penetrated with it. So imagine what it does to the body it’s nasty stuff.
On the contrary, I wanted by ex-finance’ to stop using he was so abuse physically especially so I NEVER wanted him to get back high because when meth users are high there is that phase stage where they are a beast, not themselves, it happens every time he got high! So absolutely NOT, I never wanted him high when he was coming down, I know I would have to pay the consequences he fathomed in his mind!
My husband hid it well , he’s gone now . He was only 55 years old
I’m sorry to have hear about your husband. I have had no contact with my husband for over 1 years. My husband from whom I am now separated began to consume methamphetamine again after being sober for a few years, but this time due to the formulation of the drug he became very delusional and this happened immediately. He accused me of things that I have never done and could never do, he accused me of being unfaithful with mutual friends that we have known since childhood and of being unfaithful with friends of our son, and people from his own family. In addition, the things he would say were so strange and incredible, in general. At first I was confused, but then I realized that I was in denial, in denial that he was back on meth. But when it's your loved one, you put yourself in denial, and you don't see it, and you can't believe it. His parents and his family still deny it, they don't see it because around them he acts quite normal and hides it well, it's not noticeable unless they know what the symptoms are and also unless he unleashing his anger, spurts of anger that he gets sometimes. They tell me that he’s better now, and off the meth, but I don’t believe it to be true, because the only time he would stop meth was when he would be incarcerated and was basically forced to go off of it. It breaks my heart because I was with this man for almost three decades, all thrown in the trash, all because of his addiction. I would like to help him, but because he believes his delusions, he doesn't want to know anything about me, and has cut off all communication with me, it’s been over a year now of no communication. Also due to his drug use our son completely cut off communication with him, because he is so mad at him for using again. The drug definitely affected him differently this time around, he became delusional very quickly, but also this time he actually goes out for a run daily (I know this because his mom has told me) he also talks about God (which is good), but sometimes he would say strange things about God, of which I don't think they are very Christian. But he says that he believes a lot in God and that he leaves everything to God, and that he was chosen by God, that he’s one of God’s warriors, an angel. I don’t know if anyone reading my comment can help me understand, but is it normal when someone is using meth that they speak about God, that they exercise, that he sleeps (because when he used in the past he would be awake for days)and that he actually eats? In the past when he used meth he would not sleep, eat and especially talk about or bring up God. I’m so confused that at times I think I’m the one losing it, this drug is definitely formulated differently now, just to see how quickly it affected my husband and how it affected him this time. I pray for anyone going through this with a loved one, my heart truly goes out to you!
The term is.. how to spot a tweeker..
In Europe where? Maybe in the east Europe. Hard to find on the western part.
You can find a lot sold in Germany in the cities that are near the boarder to Eastern Europe ;)
