Best answer:

Answer by catherine
you can help them by being detached from all of it and impersonal so you don’t get hurt.Narc Anon is the best bet with regular meetings and sometimes every day attendance until they stay clean.This can take years so be by their side while going to meetings as a support system.

Should I try methamphetamines to help my problems?

Question by : Should I try methamphetamines to help my problems?
Even though I’m only fourteen I Think it would help my life as it sucks right now

Best answer:

Answer by Amilkar
Don’t ever try methamphetamine or any drug to try to help yourself. it would only cause more problems than you would already have. Please go see a doctor, therapist, or counselor. If you are religious talk to the clergy or pray. Since you asked this in alternative medicine you could try Chakra meditation.

Question by Bad Mood: i am in a treatment center for a meth addiction and attending self help groups. will i still go to jail?
I was recently convicted of forgery in march and sentenced to 4 years probation and ordered to pay restitution (0) I lied to the courts and said i didnt have a substance abuse problem. I am again being charged with the same crime(i wrote out checks on my ex boyfriends account while i was under the influance of meth). I knew i had a problem because i couldnt stop no matter how hard i tried. After i was arrested in July of this year i put myself on a waiting list at a local treatment center and graduated thier Intensive rehab treatment program after 8 weeks. I go to 5 self help groups a week and attend AA/NA meeting regularly and also meet with a counselor once a week. Recently i excepted a managing position at a cell phone company and am putting my life back together. i am residing in a half way house and have been clean for almost 6 months. The prosecuter in my case wants me to go to prison. my sentencing date is December 7th 06. does anyone know anyone that has been in my situation

Answer by Crystal S
Unfortunately it will depend on the judge if you go to jail or not. You have done everything in your power to get yourself together and maybe the judge will see that.

Good Luck

Answer by DaisyD81
Go to rehab. NOW. Stop looking for money to support your habit. You know that’s the reason why you’re trying to make money.

There’s plenty of rehab centers that are free. Check in with the state. You have bunk immigration status? Grrr…okay, well all i can say is to make some new friends that don’t use. Surround yourself with positive people to get positive results, even if it means losing friends.

I am fighting a strong addiction to meth and desperately want to stay clean. Can anyone help?

Question by montanasky: I am fighting a strong addiction to meth and desperately want to stay clean. Can anyone help?
I have been to several rehabs- I know what needs to be done, but I can’t seem to follow through with anything. Please help me if you know of any websites, etc. to support my recovery. Any advice is welcome. I am to the point where I can’t live with the drugs, and I can’t live without them. HELP!!!!

Best answer:

Answer by compassionate-angel
My husband, fought a fifteen year addiction…and overcame it and has been clean for eight years….the ONLY way, is you need to find out WHY you are addicted, whay is it that you need to feel so good about? Are you not loved,…are you in great emotional pain? Why not give your life over to God and Jesus,…then, maybe the guilt of knowing that you are letting THEM down, and praying for strength to quit..will stop you..your body is your temple, and you must love yourself, and the creation that God made…Love Jesus, and pray, and They will give you the strength you need,…

My daughter is addicted to drugs, it is killing me. I appreciate all of your help, THANK YOU?

Question by gregusedupfully: My daughter is addicted to drugs, it is killing me. I appreciate all of your help, THANK YOU?
My daughter started using codeine when our dentist prescribed it for her. I found out she has been buying it or trading something for it from a person at her school. She is 17 years old, I know that i do not have much time left to help her, she has told me she is moving out the moment she is able too. I think my daughter is addicted to drugs of other types also, i have been finding things in her room that are suspicious, white power on the dresser. little pieces of plastic with burn marks on the ends. broken pieces of metal with burn marks on them, some type of a glass ball with a hose wrapped tightly around it that goes into one side and a frickin butane torch in her room! I do not know what this stuff is, as fast as i throw it away she finds, buys or makes more of it. when I go through her bags she has pills wrapped up in plastic, she tells me they are vitamins but i know they are not. I am thinking about forcing her to have drug tests but i do not want to lose her and i have run out of options. AA did nothing, i think they made the situation worse. teen narconon was a joke. i am so frustrated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer by Maureen S
Sadly, there is not much you can do for her at that age. You can always be there for her when she needs you. You can keep telling her how much you love her.

If you are able to “force” her to get therapy and treatment (I do not know if you are able to legally) then I would do that. It maybe very hard to do emotionally, but in the long run you will have saved her.

However, that being said, if you are not able to do that, all you can do is let her make her own decisions, even the terribly wrong ones. Hopefully she will get so low, that she will realizes what she is doing but sometimes love of a parent or family is not enough for them.

If you could learn to detach yourself from her actions and just be there for her with unconditional love, when she needs you, that is all you may be able to do.
