Meth use at an all-time high, but resources to fight it aren’t

This Needle Heals –

February 15, 2020 – While out with his drinking buddies one night, they offered Jensen a hit, and he “was immediately hooked,” he said.  “It was nothing like anything I’d done before,” Jensen said. “I felt like Super Man, I had all this energy … and I was up for days.” “Getting sober was the hardest thing,” he said. “I had to find new friends and stop hanging out where I did. In order to beat meth, I had to change my entire social life.”  “It’s a life-long addiction, like although I’m not actively using, there’s a bear inside me hibernating,” Jensen said. “If I go back, it’ll be worse, but what keeps me going is how good it feels to help somebody else, it’s why I’ll never go back.”
