METH DESTROYS

I think meth really stands for "morally empty through highs." I am an 
average man offering personal advice to individuals. I recently 
watched my wife get so bent on meth, she had no reasoning left. I 
begged her to quit, I yelled at her, I held money back.

My business is now closed. Our utility bill was not paid, nor was our 
business phone things my wife had been trusted to care for and had 
done for a long time. She became deceitful, and we became distant. 
Meth has taken our credibility, the trust I had for my wife, our 
credit, our business, our future, our health body, mind and spirit.

I watched people ruin their lives for years, but I never thought 
meth, in my wildest nightmares, would destroy our relationship, or 
take my loves in life away from me. It has, as I am now in Clark 
County Jail. It has even taken my accomplishments and freedom.
