     what is the right way to come down  from meth and not have the cravings or desire to use again

[shakury]

hey i know what you are going through, the best thing to do is loose the phone numbers of the people u get it from. i used it for a little more than two years i had used other drugs  before but none got me hooked like meth i was using it to much everyday sometime even at work. and i knew i couldnt stop when it was to late i was an addict i would call my hookup and sometimes he didnt answer so i would wonder the streets hoping that someone would offer to sell me something i would also look for residue on my pipe or in baggies that i had hidden. it was horrible. when i had it i was out of control i would smoke it till there was no more. first i used it at parties or other places where i was gonna have fun but then i stopped going out i would buy it and hide in my apartment ans smoke i was always alone and i was always afraid of something i dont know what but i always looked over my shoulder.
the first thing i did was get to know the drug, i looked it up on the net all of the things that it does to the body and all those things. i got scared, i couldnt tell no one because to everyones eyes i was a good person a good son a good brother and so on.
but u have to think of ur life and how u want to live, to see ur kid to have a life to play with ur grandkids to get married. u have to look forward to life and be strong cause meth is a strong drug that will pull u in if u let it. sometimes i think i can taste it and i remember how it felt and i think i want it. but then i think about all that it almost took from me and i get mad at it and i never want to use it again. i want to be alive so that i can tell my kid never to use it and if i have to ill share my story with him.
i really hope u get off this drug. i heard somewhere that meth is the slowest method of suicide because it kills u literally every time u use it. so keep strong dont give up and remember that you are better then meth and that ur future is a bigger high than meth.

let me know if this helped and any other questions believe me i have answers and if not ill still try. cause ur not alone and i want u to get out of it.

I don't know if there is a 'magic way' for being relieved of the desire to use ever again. I some one could invent something which could do that, that guy would be a millionaire overnight.
As far as I know, after cleaning up (which I don't know about for the methadone program), you slug it out till the end of your days one day at a time....

I don't know if I have the answer to your question but my husband and I did meth for about a year. The only reason we got off it is because we could not afford it anymore. Maybe we were not "true" addicts because we were not willing to let the rest of our life got to hell just to get the drug. I don't know. It was very hard emotionally for me. I craved it very much. All I wanted to do is sleep. We broke our contacts with the people we used to use with. Actually they stopped coming around because the drug was not here all the time like it used to be. As much as I like that drug, I will never do it again. I read somewhere that the average life dspan of a meth addict(heavy user) is 5 years. I want to live! I look forward to being able to go to sleep at night!  Every once in a while I will think about it, I even think I taste it, but as quick as the craving comes, it goes away just as quick! Meth will cause you nothing but problems. I've seen it with my own eyes!
