Help for illicit amphetamines addiction

I just got over a craving for speed or a cigarette. Both are bad. The last time I used illicit drugs was the summer of 1980. I don’t know what is triggering me today or why I would get a craving for a cigarette or speed after all these years. I guess I should go to an NA meeting tomorrow.

Talking about it and admitting it helps.

Edit - NA is Narcotics Anonymous recovery organization

I’ve been struggling with drinking urges myself. If found that eating a lot of sugary stuff helps alleviate the alcohol cravings, but that has its own problems.

My friend admitted to me she used several days ago. She had me swear I wouldn’t tell anyone.

Speed is no joke! That stuff is extremely potent and addictive.

I just want to say you’re doing great staying clean off that stuff for 40 years.

But if you still get the odd craving you might want to call a substance abuse hotline or confide in a friend about it.

Please stay strong and sober.

I’ve witnessed meth destroy lives.

Thanks. I’m not sure if what was called speed in the late 70’s was meth or not. I just knew it by the name speed.
