Hey Michael,
I am at the point where I had to block myself from even being able to download Grindr because, like you, I would delete all my contacts and think I was done—until a craving hit. Suddenly, I’d be making a new account, and within minutes, I was back in it. Meth thrives on impulsivity, and having instant access makes it so much harder to resist. I started using an app blocker so that, in those moments of weakness, I couldn’t act on impulse. It’s not foolproof, but it’s helped give me time to pause and rethink before making a decision I’d regret.
Something that’s really helped me is 12-step recovery fellowships like CMA (Crystal Meth Anonymous), NA (Narcotics Anonymous), and AA (Alcoholics Anonymous). These groups have given me a space where I can talk to people who actually get it—people who have been through the same cycle and found a way out. Having a sponsor and a recovery community has made a huge difference in breaking the isolation that meth creates. If you ever want more information about meetings or how to get started, let me know—I’d be happy to help.
You’re not alone in this, and you’re definitely not the only one feeling trapped in the cycle. The fact that you recognize the pattern and are thinking about ways to stop it means you can find a way out. Keep fighting for yourself—you deserve a life free from this.
Stay strong. 💙
