Speak Up

I'm not a meth user, but I have seen my friends and family use the drug and transform into totally different people. I know people that think that it's okay. My uncle used meth for 15 years, he has had so many health problems, with his bones and teeth, and his mind. it took everything out of his life. he went thru the years hiding it. but we all knew. he would sweat all the time, talk loud and annoying, collect old cell phones, spend days up without sleep. among so many other bad characteristics. he got arrested 2 yrs ago for possession of mdma, meth, controlled substace and marijuana. he got lucky and god gave him another chance cuz he got 9 yrs of state probation. 1 year later his probation officer knocks on his door and he pissed dirty for marijuana and meth...he just got 120 days...lucky again. having got out 3 days ago, he vows to stay away from it but knows how hard it will be. i hope he does.

my fiance did meth for a few years with his ex girlfriend. he was drunk one day and late for work. he said he wasnt going so her father said" i got something that will pick you right up" in a drunken stuper he says " hook me up doc" and he shot him up for the first time....that was all it took. he was addicted to meth for three years and hated his life and wanted to kill everybody in it. he never saw his family. he avoided them because of shame. his girlfriend at the time was also shooting meth. they constantly argued and faught. their house was a disaster. living like animals...then they stayed in motels...disasters there too. he stopped using...left her and has been clean for almost 2 years now. he says he still thinks about it because the feeling was great but it made him a horrible person and its not worth loosing everything.

there is a guy that i was friends with years ago, that was strong and atheletic, healthy and fun to be around. he started using meth about 5 years ago and has been arrested for shoplifting, possession, domestic violence, and many other reasons. in and out of jail. he always has sores and constantly picking. i was dating a guy about 3 years ago that was his best friend. this guy and his girlfriend came to our house at the time and was trying to cook some fake dope in our microwave. his girlfriend was 5 months pregnant and had bruises all over her body from his abuse.she found out what he was doing and said she was leaving. he grabbed her and told her she couldnt leave. she tried to get in her car and switch it on. he jumps on top of her and takes the keys, holding her against the center console with her belly pressing against it. orders her to get in the passenger seat and grabs and slaps her. speeds off with their 2 yr old in the back in a carseat.the drivers door was still open as they drove off....i felt so scared and afraid for her and called the police. they never caught him and she is still with him and luckily didnt lose her baby. He keeps her confined and she takes up for him because she is scared of him or what he will do. he has robbed people and all kinds of stuff.

If your using meth or know somebody who is or may be....please get help...you can or they can lose everything....family...friends...possessions....kids...health...or even life....please do the best thing for you or someone you know....god bless
