Hi icedbad,...it's been awfully quiet in here for quite a while, glad I stopped in to see what if anything was new, Welcome. Seems like ya gotta pretty good start to this (recovery) I used the s#*t for 35 years and quitting was without a doubt the toughest thing I've ever done. Six and a half years clean now, with one short "ooops" on my one year anniversary.

Honestly, I can't say bullshit to your not sleepin much not using,....After the initial "crash" of sleepin practically 24/7 for a week or so, bein able to get a good nights sleep was one of my biggest complaints,....rather than get all pissed off and upset about it, I have to just sorta laugh at the irony of the situation. A speedfreak who'd stay up for days & weeks,...one who thought sleep was a poor use of valuable time,....and now here I am bitchin and whining 'cause I can't get to sleep, and when I finally do,....staying asleep is a problem. I still rarely sleep for more than 2 or 3 hours straight. A solid 7 or 8 hours of good sleep??? Ha! only in my dreams ( geeez, more irony )

Use that inclination ya got to learn! Do the research on meth, how it works on the brain, the hows and why's it does what it does,...Knowledge and understanding it all is, in my opinion,key to beating it. In a simplistic way of putting it,....that knowledge and understanding is like the schematics, the blueprint,...the instructions on how to rewire your brain to work in the way nature intended.

I'll leave it at that for now,....just know that it does get better,..it does become easy to not use,....Life will always have "issues" one has to deal with,...but at least they get dealt with and not outrun. if ya know what I mean

PS,....nice back piece

Give yourself a lil credit,...your ownin your issues, which is pretty huge if ya ask me. Nothin ever changes untill we start bein 100% honest with ourselves. Stay in touch.
