Dallas Bragg gives four rules for building a support network in meth recovery: define each person's role precisely, pick people who are persistently nosy, include folks who make you uncomfortable, and tell them everything. Hiding anything breaks the whole system.
Here are 4 things to remember for building a support system for crystal meth recovery. Number 1, and this is the most important in my opinion, that's why it's first so you hear it. You have to be very specific with the roles of your support group, especially when it's people who are not aware of the nuances of crystal meth. They need to know exactly what to look for, when to come looking for you, what are the signs and the symptoms that you've used. You have to be very specific, not just check on me. Number 2, you have to pick the most nosy and intrusive fuckers that you know so they will never let up on you. Number 3, make sure it's people that make you uncomfortable telling your situation to. The discomfort is actually growth. Number 4, always be Honest. Never hide a thing from them if you want this to work.
