You might want to force him into rehab. Some tough love can be difficult at first but it'll be worth it in the end. Let him know you're doing your best to make things work out for the better. Then again, I've never dealt with this and I don't know exactly what he's like, so you're a better judge than me.

I have wrote something that I found everyone that has used meth before agrees with it. It's actually bit and pieces taken out from a much larger thing that I wrote. If anyone disagrees with it, then please reply with a reason. Thanks and stay away from the dope.

Meth, every time I hear that word, I'm instantly overwhelmed with a surge of old memory's and thoughts from my past. It's nearly impossible to overcome the horrid and loved images, events, and times that seem to have been the building blocks of what has become of me, who I am today. About eight years of my life, mostly my teenage years, had been more or less destroyed, leaving me now with a bunch of complicated mysteries and questions about how and who I became. Many of my thoughts still seem to contradict each other. It's now been about four years since I last used but I'm still faced with many opposing feelings that seem to never go away. It's like a battle within pertaining to something that I had once loved more than anything including myself, my family, my children, career, friends, and altogether my entire life. So now that I'm not using this drug anymore, why does is still affect me and how did this drug do such a damn good job at covering up or preventing me from experiencing or better yet realizing what was going on. It was a power so great that I would have kept perusing even in the face of death.

My respect for Meth and the potential it carries is incomprehensible. This addiction is unlike anything imaginable and must be distinguished from the addictions of other drugs. The way that this addiction can overpower someone, hidden without any warnings or signs while engulfing them with its rapid triumph is indescribable. It happened to me and was unlike anything I've ever dreamed of. It does this in a way where the victim is unaware of and has no defense capability whatsoever. By filling you pride, well-being, happiness, determination, and a huge self-esteem that the person is willing to protect by all means more than ever before. Mainly this is what meth has attacked you with. While you are feeling better then ever before, not realizing that you actually falling, and in a sense becoming a different person, with a different personality, a whole new character, while the true you is still present, but being locked up behind a barrier that prevents any and all of your former morals, personalities, and beliefs from playing any roles within this new person. Like a glass wall leaving you at times able to see thru and sometimes feel from what you used to be, but never able to penetrate. It's when you have your first experience with the feelings of your former self, which rarely happens, and for some, may never happen, that you first realize you are addicted. By that time, my friends, it is too late! Since whatever you may have experienced is so brief and is quickly attacked and taken down by your new character's protected self-esteem in a fast, unnoticeable, and happily acceptable way, you are left with something that you have already forgotten. Soon after it all becomes just another example of how extremely well your new personality can protect itself from any threats to the truth, the fact that you are under control of this power called crystal. All advice, care, suggestions, or observations from other people will be denied and angrily refused because of this entirely different person that you have became and are totally unaware of. This is why people that are actively using the drug are more or less helpless, they are a robot being controlled by crystal and they hold a shield that will prevent any person from coming close to them and that keeps outside help far away since the person filled with false security and are 200% convinced that nothing at all is wrong.

For me to try and successfully go further into the details of methamphetamine addiction would be a waste of my and it probably would never end. There are certain things in life that are impossible for a person who has never experienced them, to be able understand and comprehend what they're being told, no matter how good it's described. There really is not anything I can think of that would give a person even a slim idea of what my life has been thru or what it would be like to be in this situation and is one thing that can't be judged since there's absolutely no way of putting yourself into that life.
