I started using Meth as just a drug I would try cuz i was into the whole experimenting with drugs. I believe i was around the age of 15. I wanted to try everything. When I finally got to trying meth I loved it and couldn't seem to get away from it. It was the best feeling in the world and I never wanted to come down but as I fell deeper into addiction it started to kill me. I used for about a year and some months. I did some god awful things. It ruined everything I had. I went from 135lbs to 85lbs in my time of using. I was a mess. It took my sanity and my soul. My best friend was my tweaking buddy I loved him with my everything and I always will. I watched it kill him right in front of me. It was the worst thing to ever happen to me. I couldn't believe that this drug that people make and sell to others just killed my only friend. The only person who really loved me and understood me. I attempted suicide 3 times. I finally got clean but I still struggle everyday with recovery but when I start to feel I can't do it anymore I think of my friend and know he is watching and looking out for me. I suffer from horrible sleeping problems and issues with my body from the effects of the meth. I relapsed twice in my 2 years of being clean.
