Re: How to make meth

Bummer - I am highly saddened by that fact that you "question my integrity" </sarcasm>. I am not the one searching "making meth" online -- I also don't control what search engines serve you when you search such a phrase.
Contrary to your belief, just because you are a U.S. citizen doesn't mean you have the "right" to know anything and everything there is to know just because it's online. Last time I checked, that wasn't part of the constitution. You do however have the right to your opinion and to make said opinion public, but it would be nice if you actually read what is written thoroughly before jumping to conclusions and spouting off.
I am (not) sorry you feel mislead in your searches for how to make meth - I am sorry however that you seem so misinformed.

Jeanette your story/testimony is amazing. Thank God you are alive to tell it. I for one am grateful for your sharing this with others. I think that alot of people see those faces of meth photos as scare tactics and don't realize that meth can and will attempt to destroy you from the inside out.

Again - thank you for stopping by and sharing your story.

Re: Meth Detox

You are so right about the cravings. That's why I really like the 12-step program and having accountability as well. Those cravings kill for sure :(
Everyone has different experiences it seems. This is really a kind of generalization of the first couple days, but I do thank you for your input. It's always nice to get stories from others that have gone through the detox process as well.
Thanks!

This poem has been doing the rounds on the internet for years and is posted all over the place. It's become a sort of cult favorite among meth users and survivors. It's very well written and if you are the original author, then you did a great job.

Re: Meth Hot Rail

SomeChick — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 10:58:15 -0000

Maybe I should have said "newly popular". You're right though, I remember a guy that used to do it this way probably 10 years ago. No one really understood why he used it that way, but he swore it was a better way to use.
I am still unsure as to how it's different than just smoking it and inhaling it straight into your lungs rather than through the nose and into the lungs - possibly a different rush, but just as dangerous.
I forgot to mention in the above post about burns to the hands. That same guy I mentioned literally had blistered hands from doing hot rails.

Unless there is something new I don't know about, Clorox (Bleach) is not used to make meth. They might be the worlds cleanest people (hypochondriacs) or have taken up selling bleach on a large scale. (haha ok I'm sorry - I thought it was a little funny :)

Anyhow, your comment got me thinking so a wrote a post just for those like you who may be concerned about a neighbor that is making meth in their house.

I can't tell you how happy I am that you get to have your son back. Isn't it wonderful to see life in his eyes once again?
I pray that he can continue through treatment and beyond to fight the temptation to use. Stay strong!

Re: Free Wallpaper: My life means more than Meth

SomeChick — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 13:28:06 -0000

Firstly, thank you for for the compliment. The message really holds true and it's a message that I believe has to be said over and over in your mind and in your heart if you want to be rid of this addiction.
With a powerful 20 year long story of addiction I can imagine that you have a powerful story to tell along these lines.

Re: Meth Mountain

SomeChick — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 13:24:31 -0000

Awesome Jack! Thank you for sharing some words of encouragement. Getting clean IS possible, but as you said -- YOU have to want it. No one else can wish an addict clean.

Hi artsy, Thanks for your feedback. I always welcome feedback whether positive or negative. I get what you are saying though and as I mentioned above, there are things I would change about it now. But that's OK - I will just make different types with different messages down the road. I'm glad art is subjective -- we can each take a different message from the same piece. Thanks again
for stopping by!

Re: Even Dogs can be Victims of Meth

SomeChick — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 18:15:24 -0000

Ugh that sucks! Poor lil' pups.

I used to have a pitbull - I rescued her as a pup from some trailer in the middle of nowhere. She was bread to fight, but I raised her right and she was the most loyal dog I ever owned. I will never own another breed of dog to be honest. So it pains me that much more the hear about pitbulls in the drug trade. They seem to be the mascott for all that sucks in this world these days and it's so, not right.

I am an avid fan of your blog as well! Thank you for stopping by and thanks for your kind words. I am glad that my point reaches some - my hope is that the point I am trying to convey reaches those that are curious or currently trapped in meth's vile grasp.

First off congrats on sobriety Megan!!
You are so right - every day gets better and better as long as you keep yourself focused.
Stay strong!

Re: Petition to Legalize Crystal Meth

SomeChick — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 10:39:06 -0000

Lest ye forget the amount of people in prison on drug charges and nothing more. I am not sure what the answer is, but legalizing something as destructive as meth would do society no good. Do you think people could use meth like alcohol in moderation? Most people that drink alcohol, do so responsibly I would assume - but meth is a whole different beast. I've not met one person who has stated they used meth recreationally who didn't turn to a zombie within months. With all of that said however, I do think something needs to be done about the amount of people in prison due to a drug addiction.
As always, thanks for your two cents Dr. Psych - always a pleasure.

Re: Hawaii: Ice capital of the U.S.

SomeChick — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 11:06:07 -0000

Well said and 100% correct. There is a mis-conception that meth is America's drug. Meth is a worldwide problem. Thank you for your valuable input!

Re: Life after Meth IS possible

SomeChick — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 11:02:38 -0000

I SO admire what you are trying to accomplish. You are correct in saying that many, many professionals fall victim to meth. I have written about a few of them here and read about many, many more; it seems that the common binding factor is pressure to perform on the job.
I'm just counting down the days until your book release :)

Re: Life after Meth IS possible

SomeChick — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 10:54:40 -0000

That's an amazing story Kona. It's tough to walk away from everything you know and start a new life. You are obviously very strong and I hope your story here will also help others just like Dr Psych's story. I am so happy for you both!

Thank you Hanna!

Of course now that I look at it I can think of 15 ways I would change it -- I'm my own worst critic!

Teri - that's great news! I'm so happy for you guys.

Re: Intervention: Tressa - Follow up

SomeChick — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 13:23:47 -0000

This may not be what you want to hear nor will it be the popular opinion; But I believe the bible and I take what it says for its literal meaning - it says that being gay is a sin. BUT guess what - lying, cheating, stealing, and lifestyle choices such as living together while you are unmarried is ALSO a sin and who of any of us can say we haven't done at least one of the above? God doesn't stop loving you because you are a sinner and unless you walk the earth free of sin yourself, then who are you to judge anyone else.
I think Tressa's parents are very conservative and take the "tough love" approach and apply it to how God sees his children. God hasn't abandoned Tressa and her parents shouldn't act as if he has. I know they love her dearly, but they need to stop stating that she will go to hell for being gay -- if sinning = going to hell then we would all be going to hell in a hand-basket.

Re: Babies born to meth addicted mothers

SomeChick — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 13:13:50 -0000

Hi LJ, Thank you for stopping by -- Here is my 2 cents:

I assume that your friend has talked to her daughter and explained to her the harm she is doing to her unborn baby by using drugs. Often times, trying to rationalize with an addict is practically impossible. If she truly suspects that the two of them are using then she should call child protective services and explain the scenario to them - she can request to remain anonymous as well.

Are there other children in the home?

If her daughter gives birth to the baby and it tests positive then at a minimum they will remove the baby from her and probably try and place him/her with a relative until the mother cleans up her act.

There is a life at stake right now and there is really no time to try and talk it out with the mother of the unborn child.
Your friend is more than welcome to come here and ask questions as well - I am more than happy to try to point anyone in the right direction.
Thank you for caring.

Hi Again, I wanted to get you some information as soon as I could, as Matt may not reply to your question. Here are some things to consider:

Get treatment at a local facility if possible as this will make it easier on all involved and will help with the continuing care aspect of treatment.

Understand that you as well as the rest of your immediate family will need to become involved in his treatment. This doesn't mean you will need to be at every single appointment, but try to be as open and receptive to facilitators requests as possible.

You and your family will also need to seek treatment and understanding on how to help your newly-sober son once he's out of rehab. You will also need to educate yourselves on the signs of relapse.

I hope this helps and again - I wish you all the very best!

Re: Meth Mountain

SomeChick — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 11:02:51 -0000

Hi Teri - know you posed this question to Matt, but I wanted to just say that's wonderful news. The first step towards making a recovery is for the addict to want it - as parents we can't wish our kids sober. Thank God he sounds like he's moving in the right direction. I truly wish you both the best and will say a prayer for you and your family. Please keep us updated.

Re: Tweak by Nic Sheff: The twisted journey of an addict

SomeChick — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 12:18:10 -0000

I have admittedly not read it yet. As I mentioned above, I suck when it comes to books. I get 1/4 - 1/2 of the way through and leave them usually. It takes alot to get me to read a book all the way through. I litlerally have 5+ half read books on my nightstand - haha!
I have heard alot about the Crank book though and I will possibly pick it up someday :)
Let me know if you like Tweak!
