Dallas Bragg describes meth as a patient thief that doesn't destroy your life overnight but steals it piece by piece: a neuron at a time, then your punctuality, then your job, then your friends. He says it's not too late to stop.
Crystal meth is a thief that plays the long game. It doesn't steal your personality all at once. While you're not looking, while you're having fun with it, it's stealing one neuron at a time, subtly changing the way that you think and see the world. And one day, all the lights dimmed from your eyes and your personality is gone. It doesn't take your job all at once either. First, maybe you're late. Then maybe you take a PTO day. Then the next time you call off, you can't focus at work, and all of a sudden you're terminated. It doesn't steal your relationships all at once either. First, maybe you leave early from an event. The next time you cancel plans. The next time no one hears from you for a week. Suddenly you have no friends or family left. Crystal meth is patient and it's persistent. Slowly and surely, you're going to lose Everything that you know about yourself and your life. It's not too late to stop.
