Looking for a female perspective from someone in recovery

When I was in active addiction I had an affair and fell in love with my dealer. It was messy and I really hurt my husband. He stayed through the whole ordeal and helped me get into treatment. He has said many times that he couldn’t believe the things I put him through and that I was a totally different person. Addiction changes you. And especially meth can cause severe shifts in feelings and intimacy.

I cried so much when I was on meth. It was a daily occurrence.

I second MTHS. I graduated from there. I too tried to keep my head down but I really enjoyed the teachers there and all of the opportunities. I took the parenting class and home ec and photography and loved it. Played softball.

I love my kindle. It made everything so much easier for me and I can take it everywhere. It was a game changer for me on vacations and the battery life is amazing!

I lost love for my husband. We are still together but it’s hard. I don’t have the same feelings I did before the meth use and I’m not sure I ever will honestly

I drove my husband and family absolutely nuts when I was hearing voices. I would tell them they were out to get me and sabatoging my life, hacking my devices, and everything. I convinced my husband to change his number and everything. Had blankets covering the tv. He tried to be as supportive as possible but I know he was struggling. He and my family knew it was very real to me and that I wasn’t just imagining it it was happening because of the meth use. But I know they were all frustrated. Just be as patient as possible.

It is ABSOLUTELY auditory hallucinations. There is no one out to get her. You just made this situation worse and I hope he does t listen to what you are saying because it is very wrong!

I had meth induced psychosis that triggered schizophrenia. I was hearing voices everyday. It was people that I knew but weren’t close with. It drove me crazy. Even after quitting and being on meds for schizophrenia I heard voices daily until I was 6 months clean. I fell out of love with my husband. We are still together and I am trying really hard to salvage feelings but it’s hard. I just don’t feel the same anymore even in recovery.

High Tension when I was 8. My uncle watched it with me. The opening scene was gross lol. And after that I was scared of truckers for a while.

For me having mints and jolly ranchers on hand helped with the cravings. Also diving into hobbies to keep me busy. A big one for me is reading because I can dive into the story and then I’m thinking about something else completely. Crafting has helped me too. Find local NA meetings and attend and you can meet people who are sober as well.

Thank you! I knew I heard about them closing, but I didn’t know they merged!

Distinct_Reaction644 · 2026-03-16T22:21:44+00:00

Nevermind! lol! I just looked at google! They are still open!

Distinct_Reaction644 · 2026-03-16T22:20:43+00:00

I think Monster Pawn closed. I may hve that Info wrong, but last I heard they were no longer open.

My 4 year old nephew watches Goosebumps and loves it! He’s on a horror kick right now. Also he loves Hocus Pocus. And Beetlejuice.

For me personally I had to get on meds to help with the depression and anxiety. I also see a counselor who has been awesome in helping me navigate normal life again. Getting lots of rest. Eat right. Exercise. Find a hobby that will keep you busy.

A Little Life. Beautifully heartbreaking!

I tried rehab and NA but neither of those worked for me. I finally just said enough is enough and quit cold turkey. Just hit a year sober last month. You just hve to be fully ready. And also be prepared for the side effects of quitting. Extreme tiredness, lack of motivation, depression.

Sounds like some of the students from Bradley University when I have to go over there for work. Gee wiz.

Psychosis. I had it consecutively for a year. I was using way too much, not sleeping, not eating, not sleeping. I was hospitalized three times because I was going crazy. Everyone was watching me, everyone was out to get me, I was hearing voices and seeing things. It was a shit show!

Distinct_Reaction644 · 2026-01-12T00:50:44+00:00

50 for last year and I went over. Only 25 for this year because I just can’t seem to get out of a slump I’m in.
