I have a problem with meth and want to quit. The other problem is that no one knows and I dont want to go thru a rehab and have my fam find out what has been going on. Is there anything natural I can do or take at home to help me thru this. I have been doing this for about 3 years daily so I really dont get to high now I think it has even become part of my chemical balance so getting off scares me as to the side affect of the chemical inbalance. I dont need to hear how stupid I am for doing because I know that what I do need is to find help.

First, congratulations! I am proud of you for trying to take this step. You are right, it is a tough thing to do. News flash - if you have been using for 3 years - they know. They might not know your poison of choice, but they know that you are using something. Go to in-house treatment and be done with it. It will be tough. You will have to swallow your pride. BUT - going on your own will be a BIG deal to your family and friends. Meth is not like giving up pot... it is MUCH tougher and relapse dangers are real. You can't do it on your own. It is much too dangerous. You CAN do this. Hang in there. You will make it.

Its an uphill battle!! Im glad that you are seeking help.Honestly, you cant do it by yourself. The drug has affected your brain&way of thinking....somehow you will find yourself weak&want to do it again....you will need to talk to family, they can help, try first by spending time with them... you cant be high around them sp maybe it will help you stop. Your will power alone may not be enough...good luck.Please find some one in the fam to talk with!!!

I'm not sure this is a drug you can get off without help. There are serious medical side-effects. You need someone you trust and who can support you. the first few days are going to feel like death. You need somebody strong there to keep you strong. You need NA or AA meetings to get support from people who have been there as well. If you do not have a support system you need rehab for one. I think support is the second most important aspect of going clean...number one is desire to be clean.

I applaud u 4 recognizing that you have a problem - and also being saavy enuff to seek help quietly - what i would do is go to a library - on a computer there, search for drug abuse sites similar to AA... (try whitepages.com or some other similar on-line phone book 1st, that is probably the fastest way to pin down some addresses or phone numbers) then, contact former users who are now in recovery/speak to them to see how they overcame their addiction - the best answer is going to come from people who KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE - not"know it all's"or preachy"sob's"- do it fast, and do it NOW, while you have the courage - and, good luck, honestly!!
