A good friend of mine is in rehab. He's addicted to crystal meth. He's been in and out of jail since saturday when the cops first picked him up on the weekend. I was with him that night, the night he freaked out and the cops came for him. On the way back home from the city this week, he tried to pull the E-brake on the highway going 120km/h to kill himself and his mom. I should have known. He's only been using for about 2 weeks. But when I look back on things, I should have known. I should have asked. I could have helped him. I think I've lost all faith in finding humanity. I'm so hurt, and so confused. I worry, and I am scared.
CrystalMeth is Evil, it will ruin good, healthy people. Glad hes in Rehab maybe it will help. All you can do is support him.Check out NA meetings and tell him about them. Good luck.
Drugs are incapable of evil! Meth is NOT evil nor is crack or pot or heroin or anything else! sometimes people do evil things while on drugs and that means they can't handle them and shouldn't do them but you CAN'T blame all your problems on drugs and get away with it. I'm really sorry about your friend. That really sux. I kinda know where you're coming from: My mother got really bad on oxycontin and morphine(injected) she was a straight up junkie and it was disgusting and embarassing and came to a head when she finally ODed in her bathtub one morning. I happened to be there that morning(thankfully for her) and heard her friend scream and run out the door and when I went to check she was stiff in the tub and I had to give her CPR until ER arrived and it was nothing sort of a miracle that she is alive today seeing as she was dead at the scene. I hate oxycontin, morphine and the like but I DO NOT blame the drugs for what happened to her. She knew what she was doing, she knew it before it got bad and she did it anyway. DRUGS aren't EVIL.
Well, now tell us how you really feel. You're rant sounds as zealous as a jesus freak preaching the bible.
That's very sad about your friend. Don't feel guilty, what could you have done? Sure, you could have pleaded with him to stop........do you really think he would have listened? Sometimes, people have to hit rock bottom before they will seek help. Just be there for him as a friend, and support and comfort him and his family. Look after yourself. Peace & Blessing.
I dont know anybody that can handle meth! once you get twisted in that game is rare you win. so yes IMHO meth is evil! true you know what your doing once you start but like i said once your in the game and dependent on a drug its not easy just to walk away, mentailiy , physically, emotionaly, and spiritualy you crave it.unless you've walked away from a heavy habit you dont know. i bet it was hell for your mother to kick.
I have never met one single solitary meth addict who was not a fucking nutcase or violent or a thief .Usually they are all of the above.Meth warps your peception of reality to the point that you see and hear things that don't happen or you will forget whole entire incidents. I hate it. Meth has ruined my marriage of 7 years and it almost destroyed my brother. My best friends brother has just died due to meth. It is the Devil incarnate anyone who says otherwise is dilusional,or doing it themselves. i swear my life experience with meth has left me bereft of any sympathy for it.
dude's point is this: you can't give a human quality to an inanimate object to make you feel better about what you did or deny responsibility. hackets, guns, and cars are not evil but put them in the hands of the wrong human....well. I kinda feel him 'cause my dad was a crackhead for a number of years. When you have been that close to it, you tend to have a different perception. Sunnie, truth is, although you feel bad, its not your responsbility. I'm not saying don't care about the person. Just realize that everybody is walking their own walk in life, sometimes you trip over a rock, fall, and hurt yourself so that you will know to avoid a even bigger rock. People learn their lessons by themselves. The fact that you feel guilty shows you have a good heart, but for real, there was not a damn (legal) thing you could have done. (kidnapping might have helped but then YOU'D be in jail)
thats how I really feel there lil' missy I just tried to give an example so you might better understand my position. people shouldn't blame their problems and short-comings on drugs drugs might cause weird reactions in people but the people choose to take them
There are alot of closed-minded individuals who's say that about marijuana as well. You said you'd never met a single meth ADDICT....that's different than someone who uses it occasionally. As far as that goes, I can say I've never met an alcoholic was wasn't a wife-beating, thieving bastard. I've known people who shoplift cigarettes, but I bet alot of you people still smoke.People kill for money ALL the time, much more than they kill for drugs and all, but I'm sure you ALL still use it. Meth is evil, meth is the devil's incarnate? Show me one crime METH has ever commited. PEOPLE do stupid shit, not the drugs. And it's stupid people that allow themselves to get that way. You don't do meth and start going out and killing pholks and robbing your mother. You put yourself into that position. People gamble too much sometimes, and lose their cars, families, homes and what not. So does that make a friendly game of poker between friends evil? Does an alcoholic that wrecks his car and kills a family of four mean that a guy who has a beer during a football game is an eeeevil person? Funny how you can claim to be "bereft of sympathy" for an inanimate object. There are alot of people who cannot control themselves but it's not the fault of an object. "guns don't kill people, people kill people." It's cheesy and overused, but it has a very good point. By the way, I don't use drugs of ANY kind. No smoking, no drinking. I'm not defending the shit for my sake. I just don't like it when people would rather ignore their own personal responsiblity and always blame their own mistakes on something other than themselves.
