Thanks you guys, I have stayed clean since I posted this, right now I need major support, I am relocating to Arizona by myself, I'm going to find help there, and start living my own life, because i can't keep on using people and being lazy and i'm 20 most 20 year olds are self-sifficient, you know. So I'm really nervous I know there's places that help people like me, If you guys know of any programs or places that would help me once i get down there that would be great, thank you.

Welcome!
I was intimidated by this place at first, too. It only lasted a day.
I would think that your move could be very helpful. A new environment, new resources, new friends. A rebirth.
Choose wisely, Julian! Meth isn't sold in supermarkets. You have to seek it out. Stay away from people and places that might be dangerous.
For now, I agree with the above. Get help. Come here for support. Make a plan.
Best to you!

Hey Julian, welcome to SR!
You've taken a step in the right direction by coming here and what you are doing is very brave too, so well done!!
Have you spoken to a doctor about wanting to come off meth?

Do you still have any supplies left? Drugs, Booze? If u really want sobriety get rid of em.
I am a young man myself and have struggled more than most people I know around me x2.
But I guess it only makes me stronger. Be careful with the geographical re-location as it doesn't cure your disease....it has the ability to pick up right where it left off. Believe me, I know!
This is a great place to post and get help. Someone is almost always here to lend some kind words and inspiration. One thing I must share, you need to be willing to go to any length to achieve and keep your sobriety. It took me a while to figure that out, and man I needed to stumble and get my hands and knees skun up and another DWI and a lost relationship before I figured it out. And I am on day 5! You can do it!

Hi and Welcome to SR.
To start with, ask yourself this question - What am I willing to do to stay sober? This forum is full of people who can share their life experiences with you including what they did to get sober. You can find out for yourself how other people have answered the question above. I know that I have gained valuable insight from others stories here and in the support groups I attend.
That brings me to my next point, you say you can only go a couple of months sober on your own yet you keep trying to recover on your own. Mix it up a little, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain and most importantly, you do not have to do this on your own. Try attending a NA and/or an AA meeting. Both are fellowships and will help with the loneliness and the addiction, if you let them and I think that you are worth the effort myself.
Recovery from addiction is something that you have to decide that you want, and from the sound of your post, you are leaning towards something along those lines. So what are you willing to do about it?
Thanks for your post and I look forward to hearing more.
