Dallas Bragg says meth users relapse because they think they're different from other addicts. That denial creates a wall against real recovery. Admitting you're a meth user, not just someone who uses meth sometimes, is what breaks the cycle.
A huge inhibitor to meth recovery are you guys who think you aren't like them. Let me tell you a secret. Whatever you judge comes back to you. If you put meth in your body, you are like them. Many men are insulating themselves with a wall of separation so they don't feel like a meth addict or a tweaker. The protective layer of insulation keeps you from totally surrendering to the recovery process. You don't think you have to take the precautions that They do. You think you are exempt because your use isn't that bad. But what's really happening here below the surface is that you are scared of admitting to your problem. You are ashamed. And that shame tells you if you are like them, that makes you a bad person. So until you surrender and let down your guard and step into vulnerability, that relapse will keep coming back.
