"With chronic use, tolerance for meth can develop. In an effort to intensify the desired effects, users may take higher doses of the drug, take it more frequently, or change their method of drug intake."

I had a meth problem starting at age 13. I started giving my body away for meth. I didn't care about anything. I had 2 children by age 17 and I thought that they would turn my life around. I gave my kids away to my parents so that I could get high and not have them in the way. I stole from people and slept with people I didn't even know. I ended up in jail a few times sleeping in cells with hard core people, I never thought that I was one of THEM... I was worse! I stole from my own family. Today I have been clean for 8 years and have a wonderful job and I have my kids back.
