Whether it's using meth or something like Adderall? Has anyone done it and put together months even years or being clean this way? Cold Turkey/ just an abrupt stop seems physically impossible at this point

Oh. And I asked chatgpt to describe a meth crash and it was pretty spot on..

Methamphetamine withdrawal is a brutal crash after being on a high that feels unstoppable. When it hits, your body and mind seem to collapse under the weight of exhaustion and emptiness. It's like you’ve been running on full throttle for days, and suddenly the engine dies, leaving you completely drained, yet you can’t sleep. When you do manage to sleep, it's for days at a time, but it’s not restful—your body’s trying to recover, but your mind is racing, restless, and filled with dark thoughts.

You feel intensely depressed, like a black hole has swallowed your emotions, making everything seem pointless. It's not just sadness; it's a heavy, crushing despair that feels like it’s never going to lift. Every ounce of energy is gone, and your body feels like lead—moving takes effort, and even thinking seems exhausting.

Then there’s the cravings. They're constant, gnawing at you like an itch deep inside your brain that you can’t scratch. You might have been using meth to feel alive, sharp, or powerful, but now you’re left feeling empty, numb, and desperate for that feeling again. The crash leaves you irritable, anxious, and sometimes paranoid—every sound, every shadow can make you jump. Your thoughts are jumbled, making it hard to focus on anything but the overwhelming urge to get high again, just to feel normal or stop the mental torment.

It's a vicious cycle. Meth withdrawal doesn’t just take your energy and your happiness—it messes with your mind, dragging you into a dark, hollow place where the only escape seems to be the very thing that’s ruining you.
