Is Recovery from Methamphetamines Possible

Is recovery from methamphetamines possible? This question is asked a lot in today's society. As a recovering addict myself I would like to give you some facts on the subject.

Methamphetamine is the legal name for it but there are several names on the street for example ice, crystal, tweek, crank, glass, and many more. Meth is a very addictive drug and hard to get over. There are different levels of high it all depends on how you intake it in your body. You can smoke it, snort it, eat it or shoot it. I personally have never shoot up but I have seen many people who have although no matter how you do it, if you have gone that far it is less likely to recover with out relapse.

Meth is an upper and can keep you up for days at a time. Chronic use can cause paranoia, hallucinations, repetitive behavior (such as compulsively cleaning, grooming or disasembling and assembling objects), and delusions of parasites or insects crawling under the skin. Users can obsessively scratch their skin to get rid of these imagined insects. You don't eat so you lose a lot of weight fast. The drug eats at your muscles and teeth. A long time user normally won't have teeth or they will become black and rotted.

This is a schedule 2 drug which means even the residue in a baggy is a felony charge. Having more then a sixteenth can put you in prison for years. Trafficking can put you away for life. It is a drug that has ruined many lives and families, and recovery as I have said is very hard.
