My sister was a meth addict, but thankfully has recovered. There were times when she would lash out and she felt no remorse.. until she was completely sober for a few months. I don’t know about the other drugs, but I do know that meth can literally take the ’soul’ out of someone. It is almost like they don’t have any feelings… they have no remorse or guilt. The drug becomes their mind, their heart and their soul.. and nothing will stop them. It’s scary

Yes , they do have feelings, emotions, etc. The ones you describe have other problems in addition to being drug addicted. Then there’s always the ” If I get involved in this the police could show up and possibly arrest me for being high even though I had nothing to do with it.” factor.

I am a recovering crystal meth user. The first time i tried crystal i fell in love with it. My husband and i got along, i had energy to play with my kids and i was a waitress so it helped me have the speed i needed to get through the night shift. In my mind i had to have this drug to live. My kids started to get in my way of getting high and when i was high i had no emotions at all. I did things i would never do clean. In a matter of six months i had lost my job, my house, my children, and my husband and i were cheating on each other. The only time i would feel pain about my situation was when the dope was gone but then i just had to concentrate on getting more. eventually after my husband got busted cooking dope and i was living in a truck with this guy who was abusing me and he did not want me around anymore i got the courage to go back home to my parents. they told me i couldnt, that is until i got help. I went to rehab and getting clean and having to think about everything i had done to people was the hardest thing, but i made it through it. Today i have not touched cryastal meth in almost two years and life is good. I havent gotten custody of my kids back yet but i do live with them at my parents. Things take time but as long as i stay off drugs everything will be ok.

what a bizarre question? sounds like you are generalising.

i am an ex meth addict.

of course i had emotions when i was addicted. my emotions at that time were usually despair, anger and a feeling of helplessness. at no stage was i ever ‘happy’. i don’t think any addict is.

Yes, SIr. I do , I was and I am.
It starts with some silly reason and generally suggested by some friend as a refuge.

I left a high paid job, spoiled relationships, lost many friends and did not know how to find a solution.

It can take you to a very high level of depression.

The only solution is good physical exercise, avoiding staying alone and religion(if you have faith). You need tremendous will power to come out and it takes atleast six months for recovery.

yes, I have emotion. I am ashamed of what I have done and cannot blame anyone, but, myself.

take care and it is not a good subject

Drug effects:

A powerfully addictive drug, cocaine usually makes the user feel euphoric and energetic. Common health effects include heart attacks, respiratory failure, strokes, and seizures. Large amounts can cause bizarre and violent behavior. In rare cases, sudden death can occur on the first use of cocaine or unexpectedly thereafter.

Research has revealed a potentially dangerous interaction between cocaine and alcohol. Taken in combination, the two drugs are converted by the body to cocaethylene. Cocaethylene has a longer duration of action in the brain and is more toxic than either drug alone. While more research needs to be done, it is noteworthy that the mixture of cocaine and alcohol is the most common two-drug combination that results in drug-related death.

Remember, KEEP AWAY FROM DRUGS !!!
