Addicted To Meth. Itching Skin. How To Stop Using It?

Hi... I m not going to bs you and say that I m not addicted and that I ve only done meth a certain amount of times. Truth be told I am addicted and can t count the amount of times ive either smoked, snorted, or booty bumped it. I am however, doing my best in my struggle to quit and my biggest motivator would be the fact that my skin is, well... That of a meth user. My skin never seems to stop itching even after my strongest effort to quit. The longest I ve been able to stop using meth us about a month. Please if you could give me hope or provide any information that might help end this addiction , including bad skin and everything it comes with. Thanx

Hi there ~

I am glad that you have started giving serious thought of kicking meth. You will find more information on the National Institute for Drug Abuse (NIDA) website:

http://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/drugfacts/methamphetamine

Also there is more information on where you could access treatment resources at the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's (SAMSHA):

http://www.findtreatment.samhsa.gov

I hope this helps. Please see a doctor if you continue to feel that it is a difficult task to do so. Good luck with your recovery and congrats again for thinking about kicking meth. Hats off to you!

Take care and have a good day !
