Dallas Bragg describes three phases of meth addiction: the initial high, the constant craving that leads to repeated use, and a final decision point before serious consequences hit. He urges anyone at that precipice to ask for help.
Here are some phases I've come up with for crystal meth addiction. At first, when you first try it, you're in the kid in the candy store phase where you're just so excited you can't get enough. You've discovered a whole new existence. Then you have to go back into normal life, but when you do, you're the kid with the cookie jar. That cookie jar is always there to remind you of what you had. You're going to climb back up and do it again and again and again in this phase until the cookie jar is empty. This next phase is called the precipice phase. You have to make a decision. Are you going to go back to the candy store and start this process all over, or are you going to go in a different direction with a more leveled-out reward system? The thing is, in this precipice phase, is that you haven't experienced the cavities yet. You haven't experienced the sickness yet, the long-term, the long-term consequences of crystal meth. So it's easier for you to keep going back to the candy store. If you're in that precipice phase, I want you to reach out to me so we can work together to get you out.
