Meth Caused Sleep Problems That I Cannot Get Rid of!
by Jody
SOMETIMES I GO OVER AND OVER IN MY HEAD OF WHERE CAN I TALK TO SOMEONE WHO CAN RELATE TO ME AND MY BAD EXPERIENCE WITH METH A COULPLE YEARS BACK.
I NEVER HEAR OR I DON’T KNOW WHERE TO READ STORIES LIKE MINE IT KINDA MAKES ME FEEL CRAZY HAVING THESE MEMOIRS IN MY BRAIN AND I DON’T KNOW ANYONE WHO CAN RELATE.
EVEN THOUGH IT HAS BEEN YEARS SINCE I USED IT WILL NEVER MAKE MY BRAIN GOOD, IF I DRINK WINE THERE IS A CRAZINESS TO MY SLEEP AND IF I EVER DRINK IT TRIGGERS MY BRAIN BAD A FEELING I WILL NEVER GET RID OF.
SOMETIMES I FEEL TRAPPED IN MY OWN HEAD IM NOT SURE IF THAT MAKES SENCE AT ALL BUT I WILL NEVER HAVE A NORMAL SLEEP AGAIN I WISH THAT TYPE OF DRUG WOULD BE DELETED FROM MY HEAD.

Keep on fighting it, please!
Don’t self-medicate. If you broke your leg you wouldn’t just let it flop around or be lame, would you? Probably you’d get a cast it surgery with pins to mend the bone. The brain is complex. Maybe they don’t get it right for you the first, second or third time. Keep talking. Don’t give up hope. Life is precious and god has great plans for you. I pray for a long happy life and for your future to be now. |

Meth is Nasty Stuff
It’s good that you have been off meth for years, but you still feel the effects and the damage the drug has done to you. Have you ever received treatment and shared your concerns with a doctor? Also, groups like AA and NA are there for you to offer help and support. You are not alone and I encourage you to seek help in your area. You should probably avoid alcohol entirely, as it sounds like it has an adverse affect on you. |

Meth caused sleep problems…
Dear Jody, I am a recovering alcoholic-I have not drank for 15 years. When I first wanted to quit I went to my medical doctor. I was so afraid that I could not sleep without drinking first. He gave me a non-addictive medicine to help me to sleep. He also recommend that I go to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. I did go. It helped me so much. I met others in the same or similar situation as myself. It was amazing and refreshing to meet so many people that were honest and open and wanting to help others. I highly recommend that you do the above also. I smoked pot quite a lot, too, when I drank. (I stopped that before I quit drinking). One thing that happened when I was high on pot was that I became more aware of those around me – it is hard to explain but I felt like I hadn’t been considerate enough of others, especially when moving or walking around. This feeling still lasts until today. Yes, using drugs and alcohol can change your brain. There is a book named The Addicted Brain that talks about this. However, I just want you to know that YOU ARE NOT ALONE!! Please get some help and I think that you will find that to be true. Also, I see a counselor, talk to my minister and see a physician’s assistant. Get some support for yourself. Also, I give every day over to God and give my family over to God, too. It is definitely working for me. Best wishes and I hope I have helped you in some way-I will pray for you-Lynette |
