Get them a list of meeting times and places for a 12 step Narcotics program.
Look on the web.
Become an active member of NA (Narcotics Anonymous). Work the steps into your life; get a sponsor use the program and the steps. Go to meetings when you don’t feel like going to meetings. Go to meetings when you do feel like it. In other words go to meetings, work the steps into your life, and work with your sponsor!
Having a child has changed my life. As long as they have people really close that they care about they won’t do anything to mess it up again. Also, they need to make sure they distance themselves from the people who do meth because it could possibly be tempting. Getting away from their former life is good and starting a new is the best. LIke i said having a good support system is neccessary.
One thing that has kept a friend of mine sober is the knowledge that this time he had help out of the addiction. With Meth its not a question of IF you are going to die. Its a question of WHEN. The klnowledge that you have escaped with your life is enough for him to stay far away from it and never go near it again.
Writing. Definitely writing. At first it was the only place that was safe to bare my soul. After a time in AA I found a sponsor with whom I could do that and who could take me through the steps. The steps, though, are a particular way of examining ourselves closely; and the process of writing helped that, too.
Sharing my experiences and sharing my pain have become a form of prayer and meditation for me. Time spent with absolute unmixed attention becomes prayer – and prayer – in the form of writing – has worked for me for 1274 days now.
