Hello, I'm new at all of this~especially admitting I was a user!
I'm not too sure, but as far as i know- this site is mainly conisted of the youth, and I am a 27 year old who is actually a mother of two young boys! I JUST left a VERY bad relationship with my son's father, who is a multi-user; HEROIN,Crank,weed,crack & just about any pill he can pop.
Thank God I had one & only one Drug of choice, Crank,but of corse, that is BADD as well, so here I am getting clean off of it- its been 9 days- HEY its a start right?
Please wish me luck & pray that I only stay strong & stay away from jo- (I only use when I'm with him)!!

Hi Pookie,
I just wanted to say that you are making the best decision of your life to stop using meth. I was addicted for over a year and it nearly ruined my life and destroyed almost every friendship I had. I've been clean for 4 years now. I wish I could say that after a certain amount of time you wont think about it anymore, but its going to be a really long battle. It does get easier though. Everyday it gets easier.
I thought that I was all alone, that no one understood the hell I was going through, but I wasn't alone and neither are you. You can do this, you really can. Just cut yourself off from every temptation and get through one day at a time. I'll keep checking on you. Your life is worth more than that crap. Take care....eat allot of ice cream...

Congratulations, pookie!!!! You must feel really proud of yourself, and it brought a smile to my face to read your post! You have gotten over a really big hurdle already, and you can keep on going toward a future with your kids, clean!
I know what you mean about most users being younger- I used for 6 years and have been clean for 4 years now. Kind of like a geezer; I have you beat in age by a decade, sweetie! Like your man, I had varied use, and like you I found my drug of choice. If I think back at all, it is to be amazed I lived to tell the tale...
Again, I wish you further strength, and courage of conviction to continue! As a mom now, I can't imagine how difficult the past must have been for you. It takes So much to be a mother and So much to stop useing... You are awesome, mama!
