Did Meth Make Me a Bad Person, How Do I Know if I Have Dual Diagnosis?

Question by cooper: did meth make me a bad person, how do i know if i have dual diagnosis?
I started smoking meth at 16 and had my meth friends and My other real friends and i worked hard to make sure the two paths didn’t cross. My dads a lawyer mom pharmacist, i was very spoiled. Neither of them had ever seen meth or knew anything about it and i played them for years before they found out i was a meth head. when i was caught senior year i told myself i’m better than this. joined a fraternity freshman year and by the second semester I’m smoking meth again, now trying to be this preppy frat boy, who would never associate with people on meth. i maintained the double life for another 3.5 years and just worried about what people think of me and how i can look like a badass. and one night when i was drunk with a buddy who i knew really was a true friend and i told him everything. I felt better but still forbid him to tell anyone because I’m so worried about what others think its disgusting… he helped me get sober, and he has no idea about drug addiction or knew anything about meth but i managed to stay clean and we worked out regularly. he was a philosophy major and he taught me a lot about it and we camped and i felt normal, then he graduated moved home to cali, and i was like i got this and i was good for about 4 months the longest sober time ever. and called this meth chick who i judged and would stay away from because she started shooting up and that is an all time low and i can never imagine sticking a need in my arm. and told her i wanted to try shooting up.
but just once and i wouldn’t learn to do it on my own. well within a month i figured it out, i moved to another town too finish school, lived with 3 random guys and from aug to dec shot a lot of meth flunked out and was a recluse wanting to be dead because i would try and stop but i could not and after my failed attempt of kicking it over christmas and realized i was high again i reached out to my family and it blew them away. did 90 days inpatient, 30 transitional living and 9 months in a big city sober living community.
I moved home over the holidays, and i relapsed “just this once over the weekend” this will be the last time. and then another weekend…i’m back in this dark hole of misery

Meth did not make you a bad person.

Your addiction to drugs and your refusal to face them leads you to make bad decisions. Until you face the beast and get your family and real friends involved, you will remain it’s victim.
