Meth- Shame and Guilt

[Mia Raye]

My name is Mia. I'm 23 years old. I started using 8 months ago.
Today, I begin my journey to a meth free life, I know I have a long road ahead of me.
I layed in bed my last night, tears pouring down my face as I begged God to forgive and save me, to break me free of addiction. I know that without God, I will only fall back into the depths of meth addiction. I've felt God calling me back to him for months, but the shame and guilt that I feel is hard for me to overcome. I need someone to talk to, to call a friend and to offer support and guidance.

It's great you realized you had a problem and decided to stop. If you aren't in a rehab program or part of a support group like NA you might want to look into that. It's really hard to get through on your own. Hang in there.

How are you doing Mia? You should definitely look into AA or NA. Some churches have recovery groups, too. It's not something that's easily done on your own. You really CAN get better.

My first NA meeting is tonight, it's at a church walking distance from my home very excited about it!

Hi there; good that you're getting addiction help.

A living, faith relationship with the Savior can give hope for time and eternity (John 3.16).

How's it going? Congrats on the NA meeting. Im sure you realize this, but you also need to seperate yourself from anyone and anything that will take you back down. It doesnt have to be forever, but while you are in the recovery stage you cannot be around the bad influence. You can do this Mia. I'll pray for you. Heres a testimony i actually just saw yesterday

I completely agree with those who suggested NA and/or AA. You cannot battle addiction on your own.

You should also garner any and all support you can from family, friends, and someone in leadership at your local church. (priest, pastor, elder)

Hi Mia, my daughter is currently in jail for possession of a stolen vehicle and meth was the beginning of her downfall and it all started just last year. Also, on my Facebook there was a post from a girl whose friend just died that morning from an overdose and she shared her poem about meth......it says it all I think...may I share it here on your thread?
