Everyone has heard about the awfull things that meth and other drugs are doing to people and alot of people even witness the affects drugs have on the addicts who consume them. But very few people want to do or say something about it. They chose to see and ignore what is going on instead of takeing action. They may say to themselves that there is nothing that will make it stop or go away and in their eyes justify their choice to remain quiet and idle. However, I think that if everyone would have the courage to face this haed on, we might be able to save another person from the slow death that is the outcome for so many addicts. When I was active in my addiction, I wondered the streets at all hours of the day and even the night. I wasent scared to go into public places like wal mart or even the neighborhood stores where everyone knew me since I was a kid. I guess deep down I wanted someone to do more than to look at me knowingly and say nothing. But no one ever did. They all knew what I was doing to myself and the pain was always there but Noone cared enough to ever tell me to stop killing myself. I am not feeling sorry for myself only trying to get my point across. If you know that someone you know is on drugs or even someone you just met, dont think about whether or not they will be angry, just tell them you know what they are doing and that they need help. Tell them you care and they are not alone. That whatever they have done in the past is not important but what they do today is. Take action to stop the drugs that are takeing over the lives of so many loved ones, and freinds. Speak Up.

Misty,
Thanks for sharing..
I can remember when this meth craze came about.. it was first said to be not addictive.. then on the local news we were walked through a meth lab step by step and shown how it was done.. For those that needed to fill in answers to questions had the green light then...
Then it went from the "bathtub" to the backyard !
Now it is supose to be the most addictive,dangrous drug...
I am not sure how you were introduced to the drug and that is beside the point.. The point is it takes more than arrests to make it right.. And more than one person to make it better.. But you have a great start and maybe more will join in and make a difference.. In the mean time i am here if you need a friend..
You are strong and i admire you Misty hang in there!
