Crystal Meth Addict interview-Marshall

[@pamelapalmer2832]

Really seems like a nice guy. He hasn't lost his looks or his mind yet. I hope he finds happiness and peace in his life.

[@billymack333]

I’m wary of this dude, you don’t spend 21 years in prison for nothing. He hasn’t lost his mind or looks cause he spent 21 years in prison. I bet you he looked a whole lot better when he was released from prison. I’m just a little older than this dude and I like skating and was very good when I was younger, but at 50 years of age I wouldn’t hang around a skatepark with a bunch of teenagers and young men.

I started smoking crack and meth at age 16. It continued for about 15 years. It has had a very negative impact on my life. It gave me permanent depression, low attention span and extreme anger issues. I have been clean 5 years but I still have a hard time finding joy in anything anymore. It rewired my brain. Nobody tells you that when you're getting high

Let's be real, there is nothing in this world that compares to a crystal meth high. It is in a league of it's own as far as happiness and sheer bliss goes. You could win the lottery jackpot and not even come close to feeling the joy a crystal meth high can give you. From the first time I used meth, all the other pleasures and happiness in this world that I had ever experienced felt small in comparison. It totally out-classed everything. Not one thing in this world is even a close second to crystal meth as far as happiness goes. Not other drugs, not falling in love, not the best sex of your life, not money, not your favorite music, not favorite foods. Hell as horrible as this sounds, not even the birth of my children came close. That's the truth.

Besides we're pretty western so there wouldn't be *that* big of a culture shock, of course there's differences and the weather might be a shock after LA. Every American I've known seem to deal with the culture differences quite well and I guess it would be easier to him since it would basically be like returning to his roots. Language wouldn't be a problem either since all the basic services are available in English and pretty much everyone can hold up a conversation in English (older people little less, like older than baby boomers) sometimes changing everything in your life is just what you need when you're an addict, when everything around you is new you don't have time to focus on your withdrawal and addiction etc. Of course flying here won't be possible without some money and ID.

My house makes settling noises and my water heater will make noises when water is being heated up. It melted my rationality and eventho I know nobody is wasting there time fucking with me I still get paranoid thinking people are under my house spying on me . And the sad thing is I crave that shit cause the high is majestic. It's fun at first and then all of a sudden meth will search your brain and find your fears and worries and exploit it to the point of pure horror. It's not worth the high and it's most def not worth psychosis.

I can resonate with your comment. Jesus Christ silenced my negative thoughts. I wrote this poem after many years of being clean from meth use. *the devil is calling* the devil is calling I can feel him reaching out to me through my veins it wants my soul it wants to take me away it wants me to hold the glass in my hands as wicked thoughts run through my head it wants me to burn the fire and stare at amaze while I feel the rush of power I am about to intake it wants me to inhale the sweet smokes of hell that will spread through my skin and tell me beautiful lies that makes you believe you are higher than God himself so untouchable so hard to reach then exhale that warmth that shelters the cries of your mind and heart and you sit there in the comfort of a burning light as it holds you telling you everything is ok it's the devil calling you he wants you home

[@2passportsandpostcards]

So interesting to learn a bit more in this one about the housing for the homeless and the help that is being offered often times. So hard to put boundaries, rules and regulations on addicts and the mentally ill. For them, most likely, any form of housing under strict regulations such as the Grand would basically be a prison. It’s programs like therapy and drug rehab that would help them first; but if they are still out in the streets, even after rehab and the relapse, it’s a whole new cycle again that gets them nowhere. So incredibly hard to escape and vicious and incredibly dark. I wish Marshall well.

[@claytonjohn6473]

When a person isnt really shown the right tools to dealwith anxietys , people rubbing ya the wrong way, our own assumptions, expectations, there is no easier softer way. Consistency and patience doesnt come easy to those who arent feeling at ease. A person can go drifting with no goals or idea how to get out from under the system.

Different parts of the body, but our spirits are connected through the holy spirit. Gods very spirit brought us to life. God is Love.

[@Skittler]

Meth ruined the person I was going to marry. It robbed us of happiness because of her addiction. I tried so many times to help get her clean and let her know I loved her but she chose to bounce around from house to house and sleep with other people for drugs. She came back a few times saying she wanted to get clean but any time we had even the slightest argument she would run off and go back to it. She would turn into a monster and say she hated me and that I was a POS and spread awful rumors about me. She would block me when she was using for a few months then suddenly unblock me when she was cleaned up. She's currently clean and just unblocked me for about the 10th time and apparently she has finally entered rehab like she said she would so many times. I hope she finally can shake this awful drug and get her kids back into her life. I haven't talked to her in three months and I probably won't until she finally follows through with everything. I know she always wanted to get clean and the last time I saw her she said if she doesn't stop she is going to die. She's been raped a few times and beat and robbed by two men and beat unconscious because she also sells. I don't want the person I love to die but I'm not going to stick around and watch her kill herself. I hope she finally makes the changes she always wanted to make and the next time I actually do talk to her I want to see her blessed and happy.

[@roxannerodriguez7075]

God that has to be hard for you to see or hear about. Loving her so much and wanting to help her save herself, but it just isn't enough. We can't control others, even when we have good intentions. I commend you for putting up and holding boundaries, but also still caring for her, and wanting to see her succeed. There's a fine line between putting our foot down/setting healthy boundaries and abandoning completely our loved ones. It doesn't seem like you've abandoned her. Protect yourself, but never give up hope. That's how I like to look at it. Best wishes to her and you both. 💜

It's not easy watching a person go that road. A friend fell into meth and it was really hard to be blocked/forgotten/remembered & then pick it all up as though nothing happened. They were just a friend and it was not worth it. Couldn't do that life with the love of my life

Spent two months in Finland. Literally ( I barely ever use the word because it is misused so much) no one talks to each other on public transport and pretty much every where in public. I sort of like that because people don't disturb you. In the States, seems like if you don't talk to everyone peeps think you're stuck up or socially inept. There's a good balance in between somewhere. This man is super interesting. I hope the best for him.

[@ilarious5729]

Yeah, no talking to strangers, respect personal space (even before covid) don't sit next to someone if there's empty seat or you can stand lol. Talking to strangers is allowed on public holidays (which there are many) cause you're expected to be drunk. (Nah not really, we're not as bad drinkers as people think, especially the younger generations)

[@ilarious5729]

@cameo yup, have to agree with that. I wouldn't be alive if it weren't for the free (and top noch) rehabs and free suboxone treatment combined with psycho social rehabilitation. Lots of Americans try to shit on the health care system "cause you have to wait forever to get treatment" but I just booked an appointment for a cardiologist and it's in 30 days, and this is just for a check up, nothing urgen. Bet there are areas in US where you can't get into treatment in that time, or you have to drive hundreds of miles for it.

[@MomsRoots]

No reason to not have insurance with affordable healthcare. Bunch of excuses. I currently have it so I know the process and it’s really simple. As far as the Fin, we don’t wait 30 days for a cardiologist. SMH people these days.

That was an incredibly harrowing ending. What a story. Mich love to you mate.

[@unicoh972]

First time I tried it , it was a small hit and so it really didn’t have much of an effect on me. The second time I tried it I bought it myself so although I was taking small hits every 15 to 30 minutes I was like damn it lasts longer then crack because the high lasts longer from each little hit but I started noticing that it was messing with my anxieties. Long story short it was not for me and I left it alone. I’m so glad that I didn’t get hooked on it

[@puddles3759]

The fact that he’s as lucid and reflective after an entire adult life of drug use and incarceration is testament to the fact that the life doesn’t define the soul x Best of luck man - I hope you get to use your obvious abilities to find happiness and security x

One of the first interviews with a "meth addict" that they aren't compulsively lying the whole interview. He doesn't have all these far-fetched stories, like most do. You can tell this guy still has his head on somewhat straight... There's still hope, there's always hope if you want it bad enough.. Good luck, praying you find your way out of that lifestyle..🙏

I see his moms path really has stuck with him. He feels badly for the woman out here. If he could fall in true love and begin his purpose- I believe he would be on the correct path to do “right”. I think he just needs “that purpose”. Thank you Mark. Awesome job!!

[@lilaworley8935]

@@tinahassani2065 you fight the flames for yourself and you create your own family.... Family is what we create. It doesn't mean blood. Self differentiation from the toxic family of origin. Re-parent yourself. Join a support group. Get into therapy. Ask for help .... And accept it when it's offered. Join ACoA and work the 12 steps.
