Shadow people

Having come of age in the 70's I had experimented with almost every drug there was. It was not until late in my life I tried meth. At first it was great. Like the little white cross speed pills we used to take. I had boundless energy and was able to get all sots of things done. The insidiousness of drug is almost beyond perception. I found myself using every day. It did not take long for the psychosis to creep in. I was seeing shadow figures out of the corner of my vision. Within six months I was having full blown hallucinations. I finally realized I was in deep trouble. I had sores over most of my body from the toxic chemicals leaching through my skin. My family stepped in and I was able to pull out of meth use cold turkey. This stuff is poison. It is powerful. It can and will kill you. If it doesn't the people you must deal with to score it just may. I am 59 years old. Freaked out? You should be. Drugs are not answer to why you don't feel right in your own skin. Whatever they do in the moment the long term cost is really a bad deal. Deal yourself out of the meth game. Get help. Talk to friends and family. Get real with people who care for you. Get real with yourself. Your worth it. Life goes by really fast. The less life in front of you the quicker it seems to pass. Don't waste it with drugs. There's a better way and it's inside of you. Let it out.
