His substance use started at a young age. He had a lot of older friends and very little supervision. Eventually, He found himself using methamphetamine or meth. Sometimes, it was to stay awake for work; other times to party. It started to take over his life. He had periods of recovery where he could stay away from it. But then, something like a bad relationship would cause him to use it again.
If anyone still struggling with substance use, you should take your time. It’s not going to happen overnight. You might quit in one day, but recovery can last forever. It’s hard for family members to hear this, but if you have a loved one struggling, ask them to call you when they feel like they’re going to use it. Right now, you don’t have control over what people do, but if they know you support them at their worst, you will support them at their best.
