Q&A: how come I didnt get addicted to meth?
Question by E: how come I didnt get addicted to meth?
I did meth for a few months on the weekend with my boyfriend. How come I could stop doing it. I dont even want to do it anymore. I thought once you did it you would be addicted for life? My ex could never put it down and I have not touched it in over a year. I do not have a desire to ever do it again..Is it because I have a good life and great parents and I dont get addicted to stuff?

addictions are caused by many things and greatly vary from person to person. just because someone has a happy life doesn’t mean they wont get addicted. some people are genetically more likely to have a psychical need. some people have odd behaviors so they obsess in their own heads about certain things and what it did for them making the next time that much better, its like pure satisfaction to some people. this is a huge long argument of nature vs. nurture. in this case by nature your boyfriend may be more likely to want to do meth AND he may have had a life that would have trained him more to become addicted. while you may not have the natural disadvantages and have positive influences in your life.
one way or another, addictions creep up on people and its harder to quit than what was previously thought. thats what causes some people to never want to stop after the first hit.

You got lucky. Your body apparently did not develop a physical dependence on the drug – meaning that you did not get lingering adverse effects that are relieved by using more meth. You also did not develop a psychological dependence, which may be due to having a good life and great parents, but good parents may not have made any difference if you physically craved the drug.
This is what makes drugs a risk – you can’t predict who will get addicted and who won’t.
