Ooh! Ooh! Tell us a story!
ETA: I posted this before I saw your very heartfelt and sincere post in the Jeff Connoway thread, and I don't want you to interpret this as me simply taking the piss in response to that. But, if you do have a good tweaker story, I'm sure I'm not the only person who would like to hear it.
No offense taken. I'm open about my struggles because if someone can identify with my story and it helps them, that makes it all worthwhile.
I wasn't a tweaker myself; I used the benzos primarily, going in the other direction toward being comatose. One of my favorite tweaker stories of all time involved a brother of mine in recovery who's a great friend. He'd get all tweaked out on meth, run naked through the woods and then spend the night in the peep show until one of the girls in the peep show told him that it was time for him to go home. He told her that he still had money and to get her ass back in and dance. The police came and fetched him. This happened more than once. Actually it happened often. It's really funny to hear him tell his story in NA meetings, particularly in treatment facilities, because he still has all of the mannerisms of a tweaker despite having been clean for over eight years.
Drug addicts fall into the following categories: those who like benzos like me, tweakers, those who prefer alcohol (which is a drug) and those who prefer opiates. Marijuana also could be a separate category; I had a huge problem with it too. Binge drinking didn't help me either.
