I was reading on one of the websites about the statistics on people who are using Meth and I was pretty surprised. The biggest majority of users are young parents of young children.
It seems they can't take the stress.
Wow.
So... they stick something in their arms, or up their noses that's made with matchsticks and nyquil and stuff like starter fluid or nail polish remover...and other nasty stuff..
...I dunno, but.. the warning that just once will hook you is bad enough, I'm not interested in that crap.. but more than that.. I just.. don't think I want starter fluid running rampant in my veins.
What the hell is wrong with this picture?
The tale tale signs of a user - big ugly black sores all over them, (watch for long sleeve wearers in the heat of the summer and take a second to wonder why) the chemical smell that's washed over them like some nasty perfume gone wrong, the way they stand there scratching themselves, pupils dilated, their hair (if they still have hair) greasy and matted.. this wild look on their faces... awake for days, sleeping for days, thin as a rail, you get the feeling if you were to startle them right fast with an unexpected BOO, they'd jump spang up to the moon like the coyote does on that old cartoon..
Meth for stress management eh? Jesus. Whatever happened to a Calgon bath, or soothing music, and a cup of hot tea, or ...a long walk in the woods, or...
Hell someone slamming a hammer on my toes would be less stressful to me...
People, if you're stupid enough (yes, stupid, I said stupid and I meant stupid) to try this stuff, you need a good thwap upside the head to dislodge ever what it is that's blocking your ability to reason. Then you need help to get off of that shit.
To give up your children for it.. your homes, your jobs, your self respect, every thing you have or ever cherished for something like that is just wrong.
Please. If you're on it, get help. It's not funny, it's not cool, it's just something pushers are pushing to make money on so they can have material things and a pretext at the life that you don't have anymore. Get help.
If you're tempted to try it.. stop and reason. Why would you want to do that? Don't go there. Take the kids to Chuck E. Cheese, play some video games and enjoy these gifts God gave you. Those babies are gone so fast and what you see as stress now, will look like a piece of heaven to you in 20 years.
Imagine spending time with your kids, having them grow and leave, after you spent your time loving and nurturing them, still with regrets of things you wish you'd have done with them.. and then, imagine looking back 20 years from now, (if you live that long) knowing, you had that shot, to do just the normal things with them, and instead you stayed in a drug induced fog with no memories of anything you'd done with your kids. Ohhhh how ashamed of yourself you're going to be, if you chose to do the later.. don't do it!!!!!!
