Dallas Bragg shares three essentials for quitting crystal meth: stop calling yourself an addict, cut off all contact with dealers and apps like Grindr, and be radically honest about cravings instead of hiding them. Your self-talk shapes your identity. Secrecy means you're not ready.
If you're trying to get sober from crystal meth, let me give you 3 things not to do. Number 1 is do not speak defeat into your existence. Do not say, this is so hard for me, I can't do this, or I am an addict. The words you say about yourself are the starting point. That's the number 1 place to begin if you want to get sober. Number 2 is leaving connections open. If you haven't blocked your dealers, if you haven't blocked the you used to use. If you haven't blocked Grindr on your phone, then how serious are you really? Number 3 is not being honest about where you are. Not being honest that you are always devising a plan in the back of your mind to use. When's the time slot that I could use that no one would know? If you're not being honest about where you are in your sobriety and letting other people know, then how serious are you?
