How do you stop using crystal meth and never go back?

Fighting an addiction is a lifelong commitment that only another addict can possibly understand. I have been clean and sober for 4 years this August 20 and it has not been an easy road. I am an addict and will always be one, this I know. It is good that you acknowledge that you are in fact an addict, the next step is to truly want to quit. The fact that youve gone to Rehab (that is if youve done it on your own and it wasnt court ordered) is a good thing. ANY drug is not only mentally addicting but physically addicting as well. Im sure your many trips to rehab have taught you this. NA meetings allow you to vent and to listen to others', but in reality dont really help all that much..at least they didnt help me..they just kept me busy and the more time I spent there, the less free time I had to sit around thinking about calling my slinger. I just kept telling myself I had kids that were gettng older who were bound to start realizing what was going on, and thought about the money spent, and put myself in such a mindset that the thought of getting high actually made me nauseaus. It still does to this day. But I had to do it myself...not all the rehab or pleading by the family or anything else did it....just me wanting to be done with it before my kids got old enough to know better and me wanting to just do it cuz I had enough. Its hard, but it can be done....Weed your garden of all those who you THINK are your friends, cuz they really arent....theyre just getting high buds...they really dont wanna see you doing good, have you noticed that yet? Are they still stopping over to see if you wanna catch a buzz despite the fact that they know you were in rehab? Ill bet they are. Get rid of all of them. Distance yourself from anyone and everyone who ociates with drugs. Find other things to do with your time. Continue your NA mtgs. Get a sponsor. But most importantly, do things to keep busy so as not to think about it constantly. Good luck
