Dallas Bragg addresses families of people struggling with methamphetamine addiction. He says recovery can't be forced; the person must choose it themselves. He recommends a daily visualization: picture your loved one, breathe into your heart three times, and imagine love radiating toward them.
If you have a loved one lost in meth addiction, here are the top 2 questions I receive. How can I help them? And how can I get them to stop? The first one is, how can I help them? You can help them by loving them. You can help them by letting them know, no matter what their reaction is, that they will always have a place in your heart, and when they're ready to stop, you are there for them. Loving is not enabling. You will feel it inside when you cross the line between loving and enabling. Second is, how can I get them to stop? You can't. They have to decide on their own when they're ready to stop. Sending them to me does no— do no good at all. When they come to me on their own, that's when they're ready. It might seem futile to you, but use HeartMath. Bring them up in your mind's eye, breathe into your heart 3 times deep and long, and imagine love going out to them. Do this 3 times a day. I promise you, the seeds are planted. They're going to come back to you when they are ready.
