How Meth Touched My Life
When we watch the news and read our papers we see meth this and meth fire that it almost become numbing. Oh, another meth fire, that’s too bad and so on until it touches your life. It touched mine with two very good friends that were so normal. Both were first time users and both ended up in prison, one for 9 years and the other 7.
My female friend that did 9 years is probably on her way back because she cannot break the control the meth has on her.. This girl was very beautiful and I actually dated her for a while. She ended getting married and I was great friends with both of them. She had such a wonderful family with beautiful children and then one day she told the babysitter she would be back in two hours but never came back.
Somehow she ended up with two guys that got her to try meth and she got hooked. These guys made the stuff out of these dry tablets and she stayed up for close to a week till they ran out of money. The desperation to get high was so great that they went and robbed her x boyfriends and he almost died. At the strung out point she was at being controlled by meth and the two guys, it could have been me or anyone to get money for the meth.
She was sentenced to prison and was pregnant. She had the baby and the little girl has all kinds of heath problems to this very day do to mom’s meth addiction.
My fishing buddy I grew up with let some guy stay with him that introduced him to meth. It had been a month since I saw him last and in that time he was hooked. They were busted at his home for making meth out of ( dry cold tablet ) pseudoephedrine.
I bailed him out of jail and kept him at my house thinking “not my buddy†and I will help him through this. He was not himself from the meth and one day when I came home he was gone. He later came back and showed me a gun. He had been out looking for the police officer that arrested him and was going to shoot him then kill himself. The destruction was that quick and that bad.
I had no choice but to turn him in and try to get him help locked up. The choice was instant but the problem was he was on a suicide mission and he would not let go of the gun even while he slept. He was going to look for this officer the next day but I did not want to see my friend get killed or shoot himself and I was not going to let him shoot anyone. This was no game and it was life or death for several people.
How would you feel if it was one of you best friends? I am so angry at the meth for taking over my friend and putting me in that situation. To know if I had made one mistake it would be at least one person’s life, maybe more.

If that was not enough, the next thing was his bail hearing. Can you imagine what it was like for me when I had to file my own papers and then testify to a Federal Judge asking him to deny him bail and that he could have killed himself and a police officer? This was my fishing buddy so you see meth not only affects the person, but everyone around them.
You think it will never happen to you and in a blink of an eye it steals the person’s soul. I really hope no one ever has to go through what I did.
