Methamphetamine, yes, but it is not easy. Tweak is out of a body system in three days, but mental withdrawal symptoms can happen for over a year afterwards. The mental withdrawal is called jonezing and it’s terrible – you feel overcome with anxiety, can taste the substance randomly, feel your veins itch and burn if you were an IV user, etc. and what causes a jonezing trip is as simple as listening to a song you heard when you were high once, seeing an image of a needle on TV, etc. I’ve relapsed 3 times in 2 years. Originally, I was straight on insuffulation (snorting) and smoking. When I relapsed, I got deeper in with the more potent form of IV injection.
I stopped by first breaking of all ties with people associated with the lifestyle. I moved, changed my phone number, stopped talking to the people, etc. Second, I sat it out and remained sober. Three, I had someone close to me also quitting and we supported one another. Four, I learned how to deal with problems with better coping mechanisms instead of drowning it out with drugs.
