Meth Horror
Horror Stories. Meth has turned our family into a living nightmare of which you cannot even conceive unless of course, you also have meth in your family. My son Joshua began using meth at age 16. You would not believe what has become of his life in the five years since. At first, I did not understand what this drug does to people. He would stay up for days, being completely busy doing absolutely nothing. Just going through drawers, packing an assortment of different objects in bags, drawing, and that would usually last a couple of days then he would sleep and be fine again for a week or so, and do it again. Then after about a year, he began using more frequently with almost no downtime between either the getting high from it for 4 or 5 days in a row to sleeping for 2 or 3 days and the waking up and starting it all over again. By the time he was 18, he was so crazy from the drug that he would spend hours upon hours running through woods, through the house, looking out windows waking me in the middle of the night because he was constantly paranoid someone was after him. He thought people were in tree's, thought the house was wired, thought his friends and family were tape recording him. At age 18 he had a heart attack from the drug. Was hospitalized in the coronary intensive care unit and almost died. Still, not enough to get him to quit. When Joshua was 19 years old, he was high on meth, wrecked his car, got out and ran from the police. He ran into a factory yard, on top of a building, the police were chasing him, he thought he was going to fall off the building and grabbed onto a high voltage power line. Joshua was life lined to an intensive care burn unit, and we were told they would immediately have to amputate his right arm to the shoulder and his left leg above the knee. He was then placed on every type of life support available, a ventilator, feeding tubes, kidney dialysis, fluid support; the doctor said he was on every life support available. He remained in that intensive care burn unit for three months. That accident was on Jan. 29, 2006. Joshua did survive. But as a severely handicapped teenager. And one who still has a meth addiction. I have left out countless episodes of what meth has done our home life. It is a nightmare to be a meth addict I am sure. It is also a nightmare to live with one. One of Joshua's friends recently died due to a drug overdose. I said " you know, you would think it would do something to these kids walking into that funeral home and looking at one kid in the casket and then looking over at josh with one arm and one leg. But guess what? They got high before they went to the funeral. So I guess I am just trying to say that Meth is one drug that some people just never come back from. Today, Feb. 5, 2008, Joshua is currently in jail. He is crawling around on the floor because his prosthetic leg no longer fits him because he gained weight in jail. They will not let him have a wheelchair because apparently some guy over at the prison took the wheel off a wheelchair and beat a guy to death with it. He has been in jail since Dec. 15 crawling on the dirty jail floor, with only one arm and one leg, and that kids is what meth will do to you... |
