"I was a long time meth user (17 years) off and on. The last six years of my using was just about every day. I thought I could 'handle it.' Was I ever wrong, I ended up jobless, homeless, friendless, & broke. There are many stories about meth. Not everyone has sores all over their body. Many people that are using seem like everyone else they are just better at hiding their addiction. This stuff is everywhere, school teachers, coaches, lawyers, nurses, police, I know because I have used with all of them. When this monster gets a hold of you it is hard to get away. It will ruin your life, some die quick others endure the pain and madness for years. I have had to bury almost all of my friends from this monster. It even took my brother and I still couldn't stop. It is pure evil, it will steal your life. Please stay away from this demon. I am grateful that I got away. It was the hardest thing I ever did in my life. Please don't start, if you are using please get help you don't have to do it alone. There is help and hope. Clean and free for 3 & 1/2 years."
