Quote: From what I hear, the only solution to meth addiction is to not ever do it more then once. Or twice. Or maybe a third time... ah, who cares I love it. Smoke crack, inject heroin, whatever, it's not going to be as bad as meth.
I am not against drugs in principle and I can say that even some of the bad ones can be manageable - you can quit, and then get through the rest of your life with whatever leftovers there are in your skull.
But, meth seems to be an anomaly. There is something about this drug that really makes it very, very, very hard to quit. It should be reclassified as rat poison, maybe that would illustrate the concept. Mental health professional do not know what to do about it. It's rare that one is confronted with somebody that really cannot be helped.
That said, many people quit. Many people relapse (it has the highest recidivism rate of any drug). But some manage to quit for good.
By the way, quitting alcohol is more difficult then quitting heroin, but I'm sure you all knew that...
Try to keep your friends off meth. It sounds corny, but apparently there are too many people out there who do not know about rat poison.
If you have a friend who is using, be a good friend, but don't leave them alone in your house.
