i am the author of this blog and i have to ask is the using meth worth the loss's you suffer?

some suffer being homeless, losing thier families and children, being labled, everything you worked for, and or death? is it really worth it. what on earth would make you want to give up things that are not yours to take away? the loss of my mother hurt and this month on august 28th is her birthday yet she is not here for us to celebrate it with her.

and tonight august 2nd is national night out almost every community is doing something so please look into it

they usualy have fun free things to do for the kids and have a march at the end to march against crime and drugs. so i ask anyone of you that have read or read my blog to please if you have lost someone to drugs or know someone that uses them or are and addict or ex addict please take a stand and march with the national night out campaine. its not gonna hurt.

thank you

hello, yeah its me again. just wanted to put it out there. some of you may have a opinion about me but im here to let you know i dont care. everyone has a past and skeleton in thier closet. but i have nothing to hide and yeah i regret some the things ive done but atleast i can admit to it most of you cant. atleast i chose to write about something heartfelt and important on my blog and my experience.that dont make me less then you or you better then me. but unlike some i forgive and can forgive cuz its in my nature.whats in yours?

do you have the courage to write about something like this. have you even lived this life and know what its like. well unless you have even walked a couple steps in my shoes dont judge me thats not for you to do. anyway if this blog gets to you good i want it to wake some peoples ass's up. you know alot of drug addicts dont look at what they do to the people around them because they are so selfish and self involved. and they  dont look at the burden they put on the ones around them.

hello again. i remember once when i lived in tacoma, i went to a convienence store and as i was walking out this guy approached me asking me if i wanted to buy some crystal meth i was like hell no do i look like a tweeker to you. i got home wondering what i should do like an  idiot i did nothing. if someone like this comes up to you please report them this is a way to fight the meth epidemic. if you have had loved ones friends or people you know effected by the addiction either death, prison, or loss of everything they own. report the sellers the dealers the pushers this is our way of fighting back. the only way. so please i urge you to do this. if this story makes you cry, sad, depressed, or makes your heart ache report them.

thank you

the effect meth had on me

Hello my name is Misty. I recently lost my mother october 2004. it was a great loss. but she died because of meth. not and over dose but because of the length of time she did it. it killed all her organs in the end, the only good organ she had was her lungs and those werent even fuctioning on thier own. you may think this is stupid, but tell that to my aunt, cousin, and grandmother we were all there in her time of death. and we had to make the eary choice of taking her off life support. it was horrible. she had been in the hospital since early august. and i knew then her fate wasnt gonna be good. but the doctors stressed that all this was happening cuz of the I.V. drugs she was using. methanphedamines. she had a serious chronic drug abuse problem. and its sad when it says on her death cirtificate that cause of death is do to chronic intravanious drug abuse. i felt bad, she left behind 2 sons and 1 daughter. and 4 grand children actually 5 the 5th witch was her oldest childs first child wasnt born till after her death.  and if you wanna see another side to this. her boyfriend also a meth addict ended up in prison. so as you can see no good can come of this. they both tested positive for hepititus c. i also lost a step uncle a few years back to meth, suicide. and now we have another family member that has turned to meth she left her kids and belogings behind and now is in unknown parts. we dont even know if she is alive.

meth is a big problem in the place i live. and its hard to watch people you know that are good people suffer from the addiction. i felt bad when i had to put my mothers dog down cuz not only was he too old but she wasnt able to care for him no more. i also had to pick up what belongings she had witch was a total amount of 4 suitcases, thats not much for a life time of things. one of her sons she hadnt seen in over 9 years and he didnt come up till after her death so she never got to see him and he never got to say how much he cared or that he had missed  her.  her mother my grandmother took it the hardest. she almost fell to the ground at the hospital. my aunt her sister couldnt bare it and still cries herself to sleep at night. so this has had a big impact on my family. nothing good could ever come of doing these kind of things and its not a good life style to choose. I also had a best friend pass away back in march 2004, her death was caused of a disease she had that she had no control over meaning she didnt choose to pass on. my mother had an option. well if anyone that visits this site has a story relating to meth or any type of drug addiction i strongly suggest you put it on my page for others to see and learn from thank you and hopefully this can do some good

Me and my brothers have suffered from this our whole lives. we had to be raised by our family members, my older brother was raised by our grandma and i thank god that we had our family to cling onto me and my little brother were left to fend for ourselves.

but the point is this effects people and if you are reading this and are an addict think of those who love you, care for you. you may think no one does but there is someone out there. and think of the things that you will miss. thank you for reading this and keep the comments comming we have to help people.
