			<description><![CDATA[ Meth-dicated.  With sweaty palms, rapid heartbeat and feeling better again intoxicated.  The only thing that i can remember is last night i woke up from sleep
feeling empty, angry and extremely excited to reach to my friend called &quot;Meth&quot;.  I have been here before.  This is what they call a relapse. 
<br>
<br>
2004 is when i was introduced to Meth.  Days, weeks and months passed by me and the next thing i realised after almost 1 year, i quit.  Traumatised, depressed
and lost is what... ]]></description>

I wanna feel again...
<br>
<br>
<br>
As I contemplate on what to say in my personal journal, I realize that there is so much negativity that comes with using meth. I knew what I wanted to say. It
was on the edge of my tongue, on the edge of my fingertips. But just as I began to type, tears filled my eyes because I didn&#39;t know where to start. So I
will just start off with a list of things that once made me who I was before I began using, and have now lost due to using. I remember who... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ <font face="Comic Sans MS">I am a 39 year old who is in a relationship with a recovering meth addict. We have been together for a year and a half and she is
approaching her 4 year milestone through the N.A. programme. Having never been a user I have had to learn a lot about the drug and the after effects and have
been astounded by the destructiveness of crystal meth. I really had no idea how powerful this stuff was, especially to someone with a very busy mind and less
than perfect childhood... ]]></description>

The glitz and glamor of the city lights drew me in at a young age.

My 18th birthday in sydney saw the beginning of a new life, as an adult.

Making my own decisions, standing on my own two feet. But who was to know my decisions would lead me beyond the glitz and glam. Beyond the illusion of

			<description><![CDATA[ I am feeling super shitty right now.  I been up all night on one when a few days ago I had promised myself I would quit.  It is ridiculous because as soon as
this physically and mentally shitty feeling goes away it&#39;s back to the other bad feeling of being anxious and anti-social and depressed.  How does one
cope?  They say this feeling lasts for a few years even after you quit and the only way i&#39;ve been used to handling it is to smoke.  What the hell, and I
don&#39;t have any... ]]></description>
