A few weeks ago, it was suggested that there should be help available to addicts that cannot keep control any longer. In lieu of that, I will be doing an AMA for the next few days.
I am a recovering amphetamine addict. I began using amphetamine two years ago in the form of focalin and the occasional addy, I then upgraded to "parachuting" or bombing strait amphetamine. It did not take long for me to begin snorting it, and for almost 6 months everything was OK.
I then began to have too much free time and too much money, I also had others I was buying for so I had an "excuse" to overbuy. I began to lose control and the speed began to control me. I required it, and I was lost without it. I stopped exercising because I knew my heart couldnt take it, I slept 2-4 hours a day at the most and it began to show.
Details aside, I came to my senses a month ago and decided to put it down for a while. I may put it down forever, but it honestly does help me focus, in the correct dosage.
I would love to answer any questions you guys might have.
Edit: No, I have never done and will never do meth. No judging, but it just isn't for me. Thanks for all the questions!
Edit: hey mods, perhaps we could follow through with a weekly sticky on taking back control? I know its not super on topic, but like I said below, think of it as Preemptive PR and just looking out for people.
Edit: I also forgot to add my occasional use of the OTC benzedrex as a sub.
Did you have a full-time job? How does one have too much money and free time? I go on binges, but it's mostly weekends and whenever I have free time. The only thing keeping me from being in the same type of situation is that I'm always busy and don't have much free time.
