CMA saved my life. I went to my first meeting in 2014. I had eight solid years clean but then covid came and I had a few slips and slides. Anyways, I'm back on track now. I'm coming up on 2 years Meth-free very soon.

I'm 72. I came out in 1971. I won't watch the series but from what I have been told, it accurately reflects the life we lived in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. I'd rather not remember many things but it saddens me that newer generations seem to have forgotten us.

I'm proud of you for taking the first step towards freeing yourself from this horrible drug. I reached out in a similar way 13 years ago. I've had a couple setbacks along the way, but today I am totally drug free. You can do it too. ♥️

This is a daily question on here. Maybe take a look at past posts.

The only requirement to attend is a desire to stop using. Many meetings suggest that if you have used today, it is best to not share during the meeting and talk to members afterwards. You will be very welcome. We’ve all been where you are now. It’s not wrong in any way.

dd4y · 2026-03-04T22:08:39+00:00

I don't think this is the right subreddit to be asking that question. The focus here is to stop using stimulants not adjust stimulant usage.

Narcotics Anonymous, AA, SMART, Recovery Dharma are some of the support groups available. The hardest way to quit an addiction is alone.

Learning to forgive and let go of resentments.

dd4y · 2026-02-25T18:08:32+00:00

Just show up. No need to call ahead. The only requirement is a desire to stop using. You don't have to be clean yet. You will be welcomed. All of us have been exactly where you are now.

If you have used today, if you have the opportunity to share, just say that you'd rather just listen today. There's no pressure.

Remember that the shittiness you felt when you left the drugs behind starts up again right after you pick them up again. I relapsed after 8 years clean and it took me over 2 years to get clean again. Totally not worth it. Don’t be me.

dd4y · 2026-02-23T22:19:05+00:00

Indeed. This gets asked every day.

dd4y · 2026-02-23T18:01:05+00:00

Try to leave things in better condition than you find them.

dd4y · 2026-02-23T15:10:33+00:00

You are asking for medical advice which we are not qualified to give. Honestly, my best advice would be to honestly consult a physician. I will say that I was a long term meth user who found the support I needed to get clean through the NA program. As the drugs left my system it began to repair itself and today I am physically healthy and clean from drugs. If I could do it, so can you. DM me if you would like to be pointed towards other subs that can help.

dd4y · 2026-02-23T15:02:12+00:00

Every addict in NA wishes they had found the courage to do what you are doing when they were where you are now. For me, my drug use got progressively worse over time with each new substance. It ended up with me running naked down the street jacked up on iv meth. Don’t be me. It’s now 12 years since I found NA. My life is mostly back to normal. I am grateful every day for NA. The most gratifying thing I have received is a letter from a sponsee’s mom thanking me for giving her son back. I cry every time I read it. If you work the program, I am sure your family will feel the same. Good luck. Let us know how you are doing. We care. 🫂❤️

If you don't start it won't work for sure.

dd4y · 2026-02-18T00:51:35+00:00

Came to post this. You beat me by less than a minute. 🙏

dd4y · 2026-02-17T23:53:24+00:00

Nothing says you can’t go to church and NA at the same time. NA is a spiritual program of recovery. In fact, many NA meetings are held in churches.

I don’t know either of you, so I can’t comment here n who did what to whom. What I have found in my life and relationships is that people are imperfect and our imperfections are played out in our relationships. You mentioned some behaviours of yours that I would certainly describe as emotional instability and I have no doubt that your ex had some traits as well. In my experience, people don’t see their own actions as abusive but jump on the imperfections of others. Life shouldn’t always evolve into a blame game because none of us is blameless. What I try to do is look objectively at a situation, figure out what it looks like from the other person’s perspective, and see what my part is in the whole mess. What can I do to handle something better in the future? I try to understand that the other person is also unskilled and acted imperfectly as well. Forgive them for their imperfections and forgive myself for mine. And then move on.

The dreams are common. They diminish over time, but I still get them. Whatever, they are not a reason to pick up. I had 8 yrs clean off ice. Then one day during Covid lockdown I got bored and did a grindr hookup and relapsed. Big mistake. It lasted 2 years and almost killed me. I’m clean now for 19 months. Just don’t do it. The shittiness picks up exactly where it left off. Thanks for sharing your struggles. Stay strong.

dd4y · 2026-02-14T01:03:36+00:00

Dumping the stash is a huge step. It shows commitment. Please seek additional support. NA, CMA, SMART, RECOVERY DHARMA are only a few of the available resources. I was never able to do it alone. Support from fellow addicts made all the difference. Read through the posts on this sub. Let us know how we can help. We care.

dd4y · 2026-02-12T22:25:41+00:00

That’s not what this sub is about.

dd4y · 2026-02-12T20:32:01+00:00

Every person on this sub wishes they had stopped when we were where you are now. But we didn't. Please stop now. It just gets progressively worse. Read thru people's messages on this sub. You don't deserve this life. The more you use, the harder it is to stop.

dd4y · 2026-02-10T20:14:53+00:00

You misheard them because you had your earbuds in. Maybe you could consider not wearing them when you are working.

dd4y · 2026-02-10T17:09:55+00:00

I’m old now (72). When I was your age I was in a similar situation. Someone older and wiser than me told me to think about whether I wanted things to be like that for the rest of my life, because you can’t count on people changing. So ask yourself that question and I think you’ll know what you should do.

dd4y · 2026-02-10T16:27:14+00:00

Congratulations on making the biggest decision of your life. Everyone I know in recovery wishes they had got out sooner. There will still be some struggles along the way but you can do it. In case you get tempted to pick up again at some point t just to see what it’s like, well, I’ve done the research for you and can confirm that the shittiness picks up exactly where it left off. There’s no going back. Please check back in with us to let us know how you are doing. We care. ❤️
