eBook Description: Meth comes into homes and it destroys everyone living within the confines of the four walls it invades. Meth kills. It takes everything. It destroys anyone and everyone that gets in its way and while some choose to look the other way or find a different focus for world peace, Meth lingers. It waits. After all, it's a very patient drug because the longer it weaves its venom through the veins of the user, the more it can ultimately destroy. An Introduction to Horror: Say Hello to Crystal Meth is for the reader who is addicted to Crystal Meth or those who are interested in cooking up their first batch of Crystal Methamphetamines. It's for the addict now running from his own shadow and the mother who can't deal with her addicted son or daughter. It's for teachers and those who are in a position to not only bring about awareness but also make a difference. The only thing this book isn't going to provide is sympathy or pity for those using Crystal Meth--the author is fresh out. An Introduction to Horror: Say Hello to Crystal Meth is a book geared toward all ages because this drug doesn't care how old its victims are--and neither do the dealers putting it out on our streets. If you've already been introduced to Crystal Meth then you may have numerous questions. Hopefully, you'll find some answers within these pages. You may want to know where this horrific new drug came from or if it's a new drug at all? (It isn't) You'll be surprised to discover the history behind Meth because it has a torrid past. Crystal Meth has been attributed to many broken homes. Mothers choose Meth over motherhood and fathers refuse to support their families because their search for the next fix is far more appealing. Siblings battle one another as one brother fights to keep the other alive and drug-free. Parents are burying their children as one more son or daughter falls victim to Meth--and if you think it's getting better, oh just you wait. You don't know the half of it, but I do and I'll share what I know with you.

It Starts and it ends--with ice

Think you're invincible? Bet I can show you a prison full of individuals who likely thought the same thing. However, they'll hear the metal bars slam behind them tonight when they turn out the lights, and they won't feel untouchable when the moaning sounds of prison consume them while they drift off to sleep. Chances are if their delusional dreams don't wake them up at night, someone else's nightmares will. This is where Crystal Meth leads you. Welcome home.

In years past, teens tried pot or coke, possibly popped a few pills, and probably had sex before marriage. They lied about where they were going, hid their boyfriend in their closet, and drank alcohol right under an unsuspecting parent's nose. You're probably thinking child's play aren't you? You're right, compared to the methamphetamine abusers, drug users of yesterday belong on the jungle gym. Even if they became addicted to alcohol or pills, their addiction was a walk in the park compared to Meth addiction.

Let me tell you, you aren't so tough just because you are choosing to play with fire. In fact, let me scare you to death. You will get burned--no, scorched--if you step close enough to the fumes of a self-inflicted hell. You won't be given the chance to back away, one step is all it takes, and if you are unlucky enough to have a friend on Meth, then the flames will encircle you quickly. You'll never know you're on the road to hell until you get to the end of it, and then, that's where the fun begins.

You'll drive yourself insane trying to sort things out in your mind. You'll experience paranoia like never before. You'll curse your mother, steal from your siblings, and you'll call little children names they've never heard before. You'll have scabs on your face and between your fingers; you'll sweat profusely and become consumed with where you can find your next fix. And this will be your life on a good day.

On bad days you'll be chased by the devil, you'll take down your home's walls, crash in your television sets, strip down your bed, take apart your refrigerator, and you still won't find the voices. You'll take out the dashboard in your vehicle, call up relatives and threaten to kill them if they don't stop the chatter, and if you're lucky, the demons you hear will nap for a while allowing you to doze off to sleep.

When they awake, you'll be up within minutes and the whole process will start again. You'll hear your mother, you'll see your sister, and you'll talk to your dad and then realize no one is there. In fact, no one has been there. You are all alone. This is when you will call everyone up at 3 AM and ask them why they left without saying goodbye, all the while cursing them. Believing in your mind your family or friends have been there with you laughing--yes, even poking fun at you. No one has been there, but you believe they have been.

You see people. You hear people. You feel their presence.

You will steal from your own grandfather, and then, when that's not enough, you'll steal from your baby sister or her children. You don't care; you just want to get high. Correction, you need to chase yet another high.

What started as fun at a party now forces you to realize, really realize, you entered a life you would never be able to depart. Your mother or father won't be able to save you, and your sisters and brothers will be helpless. You'll be angry with them. You will want to inflict pain on them, emotional or physical; it makes no difference to you. Gradually, you will take your family down with you because you can, and because you'll refuse to let them find peace without you. Some of your family members will eventually decide you would be better off dead, and then they will hate themselves because of it. You will systematically destroy each member of your family because you'll make sure they cannot escape you or your problem.

One day, your family will not recognize you at all. Some of your family members will never give up hope; others will despise you for eternity because of the happy years you take away from all those who love you and yes, truly care. You will take those years and you will not only take them, but you'll destroy them. Misery loves company and Meth loves misery. You will create a circle of unhappiness for yourself and your family.

If you're rich, you'll be poor. If you're poor, you'll be lower than a snake's belly because wherever you are in your life, once you try methamphetamines, your life as you know it will be over. Everything then is downhill until you hit rock bottom. However, rock bottom for Meth addicts usually promises one of two things. Prison or the cemetery, and both places are ice-cold. Irony, sweet irony delivers to you exactly what you deserve, what you wanted and perhaps even asked for by name. However, your family did not.

They didn't ask to remove all children from the home in the middle of the night because you threatened to kill someone there. They didn't stand by your side and ask you to try Meth. They didn't make the decision to give up their family, their friends, and their life. You made the decision. However, when you chose your new life, you made a decision for everyone who cares for you. Often, you made the conscious decision to ruin the lives of everyone who loves you, and that may be one of the cruelest aspects of the Crystal Meth addiction.

Mothers are leaving their children without a second thought. More and more young people are raised by their grandparents because their parents are more in love with a fix than with parenthood. Mothers and fathers are losing their children, and families are split. Welcome to the world of Meth. Enjoy your ride. It will be one of the best roller coaster rides you will experience, but only for a very limited time. Then, my friend, Meth will walk you through a very wicked, haunted forest and you'll be lucky if you ever leave alive.
