Little off topic but hopefully seen to have some value. I'm a recovering addict of meth and heroin. I hahe cut heroin out but have still had battle with it. I have become such an outcast in my life that I started to only find joy in learning and researching Q. I learned to accept combining the two because it helped me understand Q more. So having the truth shown to doesn't always cause u to change ur view and just step over to the light. U find other Vises and work from there. What I'm curious is does anybody have anything they can share that can help me help others when there world is turned upside down, to not have to go down the path I went through where I started to use addiction to drugs as a tool to accept things I was learning. Alot of people will be lost when the arrest happens and it easier if we can guide them to us with little stops fighting each vise and just blaze right past them. I know not feeling part of society can cause great pain and I'm just wondering if anyone has ideas or thoughts about personal or second hand experience with this.i want to have as much input as possible to prevent what I went through from happening to other

Meth had ahold of me for a few years but I’ve been sober for over 15 years now. The only way I was able to get away from it was to cut all ties with my “friends” that were on it. If I saw meth or knew it was around me, I would walk out and not come back. You have to actively avoid the drugs or you will not become or stay sober.
It will take years for the cravings to go away but they will. The first three months was the worst for me. Over the next five years I slowly got to where I didn’t think about it. When it comes up now, I’m just glad I was able to escape. I have no desire to go back to the hell I was in.
After I stopped, I didn’t even know who I was. I was a shell of a person. I was lost. I was empty. Looking back, that was not such a bad thing because it gave me the chance to become who I am now. My best advice is to stay sober no matter what and improve yourself. Improve your situation in life. Fight to get back to being happy. Figure out what you enjoy doing. Figure out who you want to be and be that person. You have the rest of your life ahead of you and, even though it might not seem like it now, you have a clean slate to build on. Don’t ever give up and things will work out.
If you still have supportive family, ask them for help. If they don’t want anything to do with you, then realize you can do this without them. They will likely come back around after they trust you again anyways.
The most important thing (other than staying sober) is to stay busy and productive. That will make you feel better. You also need to take care of your body. Eat as healthy as you can, get exercise, and find someone you can talk to. You have to heal.
Now is the time to start your life again. You are well on your way because you know what you need to do. Make a plan for tomorrow and do it. Do this every day. You will get to a place in life where you are happy and this is all just a memory.
This may not be exactly what your looking for but I hope it helps. Don’t EVER give up and things will turn out great.
