Growing up when I was a kid I new that my brother Greg started to smoke. Actually, my sister threartened me if I talked... well anyways, I found out he got into worse stuff then just smoking alone. I knew he was doing weed after ease-dropping on my sister conversations... and my mom decided I was old enough to know that he was and probaly still is mixed up with meth. :(

I dunno... he's just always been... my favorite sibling. He is so creative and he would just of been a fun guy to may a claymation with... I haven't seen him for months and now that I know for a fact that he... was sdoing meth I'm far more worried about him, he is just the one person... I didn't want this to happen to :(
 
He doesn't stand much of a chance...

-All of his friends are into drugs
-He has been doing it for a long time
-He already relapsed in treatment
-We don't have enough money to "take care of" him
-Meth is the most addictive and destructive drug

Addiction is a hell of a thing and I can only imagine how hard it is to abstain from something your body has grown addicted to...but if he REALLY TRULY wanted to get clean, he could do it. He has to WANT to do it, though...that's the problem w/ a lot of addicts, they don't WANT to get clean. :(
 
That's the thing tho I don't think he wants too... he used to do well at everything he tried, art, cars, any jobs even when he worked at walmart, the list goes on and it's hard for more to believe he has been doing meth this whole time... but when I really think about it, it's not.
 
My older brother went through a tough time w/ drugs when he was a teenager. I never would've figured out that he was even on drugs had he not OD'd at the house one night. He spent a couple of weeks on the drug treatment floor of our local hospital and was pissed as hell at my parents, but eventually he straightened out.

My brother used to have a friend named Tommy that got into inhaling Freon to get high. The story was never confirmed, but rumor had it that when Tommy shot and killed himself it was b/c he was high on freon and decided to play Russian Roulette.

I'm just glad I never had the desire to get involved w/ drugs...I've seen too many good people ruin their lives w/ drugs.
 
please dont give up hope. You can't say someone doesn't stand a chance. I was a meth addict for 3 years...i turned my back on my family and friends, and i thought i was never coming back. There is hope. The best thing for him will be to hit rock bottom..its hard but you jsut gotta stand back and wait for it to happen. No amount of rehab or intervention will ever make anyone quit drugs if they aren't ready. Meth destroys your life, but if you EVER had a good life before you started you will get to a point of desperation where you will want it back...I hope it doesn't take him as long as it took me. But there is hope.
 
he will grow out of it. i was (and to some point still am) into drugs... bad drugs.
i was smoking crack and speed at school... in high school.
i was putting lines of coke in the crack in my books and IN class i would do a grip of rails lol. dont worry. he will be fine.

and SRC: yes, people who are artistic and creative do tend to use drugs do further enhance their abilities. some drugs change your thought process.. thus allowing you to do different things.
i do drugs, yes, and i can honestly say that they actually help me in my career. if something changes my thought process then i am often able to think more "out of the box" and therefor solve problems that i would not otherwise be able to solve. i am by no means addicted to hardcore drugs. the only thing i do on a daily basis... which isnt even a drug.. is smoking weed. no biggie.

^^^I agree with the above. We can badmouth drugs all we want, but it IS true that they do give you an edge...they enhance your abilities and almost make you super-human in a way...but of course there is a negative side to it too...for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction...this is very true with drugs.

I disagree w/ the 2 posts above...I think it makes you THINK you have an edge. Unfortunately you're usually the ONLY one that believes it's true.

This is very true.

It's what's in the drugs that alters the mind, hence the saying 'mind altering drugs'. It's not used for the fun of it, it is said becuse that is true.

Re the 'creative' ppl, there have been some ppl years ago I knew of (not knew personally), but knew they weren't anywhere near artistic, yet were on drugs.

It's if ppl have an addictive personality, as opposed to much else, although obviously there are other contributing factors out there that cause ppl to take the drugs they take. ;)

I'm so sorry to hear this.

Don't loose hope though. There are many people that get off of this stuff and go on to lead wonderful lives. I have personally helped and seen these miraculous turn arounds. Find him and stay in relationship with him. Let him know everyday that there is a better way and when he wants to choose that better way you will be there to help him. Love him.

*sending prayers up for you and yours
