no sex please, we???re ex-tweakers!
![]()
Some of us found out that we had become kind of compulsive about sex as well as using crystal. For us, deciding to be abstinent for a time was the best plan for us. Doing without, so to speak, got us grounded and focused on the change we were making, the change from a using life to a meth-free life. It wasn’t easy. We’re not responsible for the thoughts or desires; we’re responsible for romanticizing them and acting on them. Most of us still fantasize from time to time about using, sometimes in a sexual context; keep the fantasy just that by thinking it all through to the ugly end. The more practice we have with creating and reinforcing new associations of sex, without thoughts of using, the steadier we become in our resolve. In a nutshell, the longer you don’t use, the easier it becomes to think about and maybe, actually, really have sex without thinking about and using meth.
