Wouldn't your sister be near your own age?
There's a point in life where you must become your own person and responsible for your own actions.
I don't like any drugs. Yet I would never consider attempting to control my far older siblings lives.
They are responsible for themselves.

That's terrible. Very sorry to her it.
I can't imagine anyone who has seen what meth addiction does to a person both mentally and physically ever going near the stuff.
I had a nephew who got on it once. I talked to him about it. He said it reprograms your brain and it doesn't ever go back to the way it was. I would never touch it.

That's a tough road. I hope your sister has a moment of clarity and applies the brakes before things get too spun out of control.
I haven't had a hit in 19 years and just reading this post brought up the taste,smell and tingles that that stuff used to bring...the human brain is odd like that.
In the meantime,stay strong and keep modeling healthy behavior that will help heal your family-some lucky ones do recover.

Clearly you understand the situation here. Your first duty is to yourself not to allow this to harm you...You know you cant enable her. And you know she wont quit this until she is ready, which usually means rock bottom.. So keep her at arms length or more. And only offer any help you are willing to when she is ready to accept it..
Your first duty is to yourself..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman thank you. At first I allowed it to upset me. Crying and thinking of the past. But with help I let it go. I’m a different person. I just hope she will get better soon.

We have something in common, I also hate meth. I think it's time we start holding junkies accountable for the harm they do to innocent people.

@HobNoblin Well,speed freaks are not renowned for their listening skills or grasp of their actions impacting others...so recovery can require huge amounts of patience and compassion. But anything's possible and some do change selfish ways in time.Criminalizing drugs hasn't worked,so I favor education. On page one? Your first hit of methamphetamine feels friggin' amazing! Hence its addictive potential. Beware.

70’s? Smoking meth ? I think all drugs should be legal to people over a certain age like 70

@BuzzedLightyear I believe every addiction is the worse.
