And if you try to quit, all you want is to get back into that state of mind. Most continue to think that the drug gives them energy, and this is why most addicts will never recover , will never even try. The dealer sat at a table, counting money — the same money, over and over again, as if stuck in some endless loop.
A girl sat at the computer with headphones on and a microphone, singing the same shit over and over again. Apparently she was a real singer. And one guy sat on a sofa, apparently tweaking on shaking his knee, which he did the entire time I was there.
Relationships and Meth Topics
Is this what people see when they enter my house? Tweaking is a solitary experience. Even if you use in a group, everybody goes off on their own mission. You seldom tweak on the same thing as anybody else.

Thus in the case of the question being asked, the boyfriend is probably just preoccupied with something else. Or maybe someone else. Because there are other issues when you use meth. I have no idea how the characters in that show were portrayed, but I am sure there was nothing realistic about it. In reality, everybody involved with meth, whether they are manufacturing it, selling it or buying it, are addicts.
And they all tweak just like those in the house I mentioned above. All that they do most of the time is use, and tweak just like those people mentioned above which mostly involves sitting around and doing nothing. Their lives are mundane, and if such a show were made at all realistic it would be so boring, nobody would watch to the end of even the pilot episode.
The Fat Meth Addict
Sex when you use meth is great. But not for long. Healthy sex is the height of your relationship. It is as intimate as you can get. When you each focus on each other, it brings you closer together, and the benefits of this affect your relationship as a whole. Sex on meth is quite different. You often do it because the drug makes you horny. You often do it when you have been awake for days at a time.
When this happens, a couple of things change: Firstly, this sex is never about pleasuring your partner. You might not notice this straight away, but it happens. In a sense, sex on meth becomes more like mutual masturbation.
Detach is a euphemism in this case. You stare into space, possibly unaware of a comical or retarded expression on your face at the time. You act like a zombie, although you feel energised and alert. Speed makes you slow , not fast. Constant fidgeting does not count as being fast. You think slowly, act slowly and talk slowly… maybe non-stop, but slowly all the same. This happens during sex as well.
Not only is the sex about you, rather than your partner, but also your mind wanders off somewhere else. Eventually you or your partner might even start fantasizing about other people. So gradually, rather than sex bringing you closer together, sex on meth drives you apart. However, meth can also make you neurotic, paranoid, and overly suspicious of everything and everyone, including your partner, and you may suspect they are cheating, or accuse a partner who is just tweaking, the same as you are, of not loving you.
And they may well be unfaithful. Many people on drugs like meth do become promiscuous. Not all, but many. But there are other problems with using meth. You will hate yourself. It gave me a absolution because I tried everything to make this sad spectacle of love with this meth addict work. It was like inviting a baboon to a tea party. Other fun facts of dating a meth addict are the burping, passing gas, strange primal grunts, dead sleeping after a binge, waking up irritated to gobble up all sweets in the house, and then going back to sleep.
Awaking refreshed and rejuvenated after days of sleep in your bed, and eating all your groceries, they are ready to rock again. They will show back up, idiotically pacing the house, picking up mundane objects like they are the treasures of Atlantis, turning on lights on 3AM and disrupting the entire house. That is what my ex boyfriend said every.
Persistent Changes
Your patience wears to nothing, and you want to bash them in the head and scream. First, small changes crept into my behavior; not about crystal meth precisely, but vaguely related habits that had once accompanied my active drug use would begin entering my routine again. A return to the gym and a shallow fixation on my body. An abandoned cigarette habit that returned in secretive fits and starts. A feeling of entitlement—to do as I pleased, to eat junk or rejoin the lurid party scene—swept over me like a declaration of freedom that hid its true intentions in the fine print.
And then the clarion call became more explicit as involuntary images of using drugs bombarded me, plaguing my sleep and my daydreams. The images became ever more seductive, promising euphoria and an escape from my own feelings.
But the most formidable thoughts that drew me back to active addiction were always about sex. It feels ludicrous to me now. The sex life of a meth addict is as compulsive as it is pathetic. The drug ignited an obsession I had never known, taking my authentic sexuality and twisting it into something unrecognizable to me today. It was a constant pursuit of sex partners, naked video chats, pornography, and increasingly extreme and dangerous behaviors that lasted days and weeks at a time.
It was an endless loop of desire and disappointment, played out over many years. Incredibly, I believed the allure of hot sex was worth the consequences that piled up. Visits to the emergency room. The company of psychotic and paranoid addicts.
