Please take the time to read and give your advice or input its greatly appreciated and i really need it. was i stupid for doing meth? very. regret it? yes. addicted? not even. i feel like i have to share this with someone; and im ashamed to talk to my parents, friends, etc. so please take the time to read and try and give some adivce. its greatly apperciated by the way im 16 turning 17 in one week well this is my story. i first tried crystal meth about 2 years ago. i decided to start one time because i was a big guy and i had heard that it helps u loose weight when you smoke it, so i decided to try it. after my first time i didnt do it again till months after. again my 2nd time i didnt do it again till months later.. well straight to tha point; i did it about 5 times in a year, then didnt touch it again till a week ago time had passed.. and well a week ago me and my friends got together for a smoke out session (weed session) a week ago, and my friend brought crystal along. so we did it. after that we sold the weed and bought an 80 of crystal for four people and we did it- that was on friday 11/ 7/ 08. after that i bought a 20 for me and two friends on tuesday 11/ 11/ 08. again this friday(yesterday) we did it again. right now im still high on it with no type of hunger and about 4hrs of sleep. like i said im not addicted at all. i can live with out drugs i dont need them to survive nothing like that. the reason i think im not addicted is because i have a strong mind. i always take charge of whatever it is im doing, from school to my job to my personal goals and etc. now i want to know if im damaged badly in any kind of way from the times i abused crystal meth? and does crystal meth really help you loose weight? if yes how much? and how? also should i force myself to eat just a little bit, so i wont have a headache? and well to the ones that took the time to read and give me some advice or your input- positive or negative, thank you very much

Well being addicted is a disease, it doesn't matter if you are a strong person are not, you most likely will get addicted to it, if you continue using. If you stop now, or only do it every once in a while, you might be fine, but if you continue using every day, your most likely will become addicted. i hate to say it but thats what most people say who are on drugs, that there a strong person and won't get addicted. honestly i would just stop doing meth, its a bad drug, just stick to weed

If you want to lose weight make a doctors appointment and see what he/ she recommends. Drugs are not the way to lose weight. Meth can make you lose your teeth and develop mouth issues. It's known as 'meth mouth.' In bad cases acne can worsen to the point where you start to pick, and the picking leads to nasty abcesses. In the long run of your life, doing meth isn't going to help you with anything. You're almost 17, get some help for the drugs. And like I said if you need help with weight see a doctor. There are options available to you.

You're probably ok, lose the drugs.

Honey, if you were as strong as you think you are, you wouldn't be big in the first place. If you want to lose weight, the place to start is your mind. Make your mind up without any doubts or hesitations or mind altering chemicals to be in a place, and there you'll be.

As you haven't used Crystal Meth all that much there probably won't be a lot of damage to yourself if any at all. However if you are just wanting to lose weight as much as drugs do help keep the weight off it isn't ideal or recommended. You may be as well speaking to your doctor about your weight issues and first of all make sure you don't have any medical reasons for being overweight. Also try other sources for weight loss ie going to the gym and checking your calorie intake. Do not regret the decisions you have made so far as regret willk keep playing on your mind.. Put it down to experience and move on. Good Luck :)

Very loaded question and i have been in your shoes but not for your reasoning yes u should force yourself to eat something right now your body is really running on empty...... which is one reason it may help you lose weight it causes u to loose your appetite... yes it is very addictive and though u may not think u are if u continue to do it it will catch up with you..... it will cause nasty sores on your body good luck with the weight loss but i really dont advise this being the way to go.....

First off you seem rather intelligent, intelligent enough not to be doing ANY drugs. This is what I know about meth. Long term users teeth start to rot but if you don't have strong teeth anyways it could help in the early decay of them anyways. Second Meth makes you loose weight in a most unhealthy way and the weight loss from it usually makes it visible that you are a meth user. Your eyes darken because of the lack of sleep and give you are rather unhealthy look. Third Drink lots of water when you are coming down it's the best way not to get a hang over. Don't over do it, just enough to keep your self hydrated, stay away from caffeine and soda they are not going to help. Fourth, Drugs kill brain cells, don't do any more. Meth is a horrible drug and very dangerous. Oh yeah and you might not have noticed it but from what I have seen when people are coming down from their high they are really nasty and mean. You might not notice that you are but others around you might see it. You want to loose weight the next question you should ask is what would be a good routine and diet for you! Good luck and set a good example!

Http:/ / drugfree.org/ Portal/ DrugIssue/ MethResources/ faces/ photo_5.html YOU ARE ADDICTED! did you know that meth has a 98% addiction rate.....sure it helps you lose weight, but thats after months of use.....I lost 50 pounds popping exstacy and smoking crack for 6 months, but after that amount of time your so hooked that you look/ feel/ smell like shit .....I suggest you go on "you tube " or "google " and look at before and after pics of meth users.....meth will make a beautiful girl look like an old hag within 3 months! if you want to lose weight there are better more natural ways to do it like diet and exercise......meth will make you into a disgusting person inside and out! it will come to a point that you will care about nothing but your next hit....you wont even care about yourself. drugfree.org/ Portal/ DrugIssue/ MethResources/ faces/ photo_5.html I would really suggest you seek some kind of help before you end up like I did....homeless strung out and doing everything and anything for drugs....no family....no real friends I had nothing.....I got pregnant so my bf and I moved across the country got sober and now have a beautful 11 month old baby boy! we still smoke weed now and then, but the hard stuff ruined our lives and to thias day we are still paying for our mistakes!

Consider yourself a meth addict. No one who you see on the page of meth addicts see if you can find the before & after pictures, every said they were an addict they just did what you have done. I don't need drugs either so I don't do them...so you saying you aren't addicted is a bunch of bull. Anyone who goes & does something that stupid doesn't not have what a normal healthy person has which is the sense to not touch it. I suggest you stay away from your friends completely & hopefull you can ask people on here to help you get on a healhy diet. The only good way to lose weight will take time & a balanced life. My son's birthday would have been Monday he would have been 29 but he was like you. He was a wonderful person but he thought he could just do things & he was in control too. He died 2 weeks after his b-day. So this time of year. I have his birthday & all the holidays & in Dec the day he died but he was missing for 13 days before I knew he died. So you have some things you don't understand about drugs if you think that anyone can challenge drugs they can't. So don't try it that is insane. Would you run out in traffic on a busy city street. Your chances are better of surviving if you do that cause with drugs you get so messed up it happens so gradually you don't know what happens & you keep saying you can stop at any time, you keep saying that..find the pictures of people to see the before & after. The worst part you can't see. How can you do this to your family? This is selfish. there are kids who havelost their parents to drugs. there are people that need people & you are going to just throw your life away to lose weight. That is ridiculous. How many kids do you think you could help if you just went out & because a counselor so you could teach self acceptance. You have so much you can be doing with you life. I don't care how much weight you need to lose. I am being mean just make a commitment to stop this not doing it again. Just study & find out what you are good out & use it to help others & everything else will work out. I hope you can stop & have a happy birthday.

Crystal meth is a dangerous drug It will turn you into a skeleton and also cause mental problems

I don't think you did any damage to yourself from the abuse of crystal because you haven't been using very long. If you continue to use it you can damage your body, relationships, job, and or school. Your life will become a mess. yes you can loose weight from doing crystal in the beginning, but the longer you do crystal the more immune you are to it. You will eventually be able to eat while on crystal. No more weight loss. All that leads to buying & doing more. If you want to loose weight there are other ways to do it. Exercise and diet. If you don't eat right and get enough sleep you will not feel good. Your body will shut down on you. The best advice I can give you is to stop doing crystal now before you go to prison, loose everything or even die.

Let me get this right: You've gone from occasional use to using every 3 days. You are deluding yourself for the reason you're doing it. You say it's to lose weight, and you are a "strong person ". If you are so strong, why aren't you sticking to a healthy diet and exercise regimen to lose weight, rather than a highly toxic life-ender like meth? Do you have even the slightest idea what that sh!t is made from? My friend, you are on a very slippery slope and need to stop using forever, and that needs to start TODAY. If you don't, you might as well commit suicide right now, because if you don't, you'll die a very horrible death by inches. I've seen it happen, and it ain't pretty. Google Images for "meth user ". It will scare you straight (I hope to god it does). Don't ruin the lives of everyone in your family by going down the meth road. It will break their hearts.
