Hi Dave,
My name is Sarah and work at KOPT radio in Eugene. I noticed your ad on our web site and watched your video.
My uncle is an IV meth user. Right now he's in jail awaiting trial for setting my grandma's house on fire.
I think he had been high for days and was completely out of his mind.
Although he did have the sense to call the fire department. No one was injured and my grandma was finally able to move back in after two months of repairs. She still visits him in jail every week and gives me money, but that's a whole other issue.
Here's my question for you. My uncle is -- or used to be -- smart, talented, and funny. He's a great artist, decorator and cook. But I'm worried that his mind is permanently damaged from 25 years of crank use.
Is there hope for him?
Thanks,
Sarah
Hi Sarah...I really can't say. I can tell you that my own mind is
probably the best it has ever been. But each person's situation is
different. I spent a lot of those bad years in prison, so it actually
kept me fairly "clean" a lot of the time.
I can tell you that for me, it was lots of loneliness and suffering
that helped me to change. If I had been enabled to continue down the
path I was on, I would probably be much farther down that path.
That's the only hint I believe that I can offer.
Best wishes,
Dave Dahl

Hey Sarah Hang in there and support your uncle and with your help he should be able to get on with his life in a good way. Look at my post ( the one above yours) and that should tell you there is hope for everyone. If you can send me a way to contact your uncle I would love to talk with him and maybe even a visit might be in order. Dada1111@comcast.net Tom & Ashley
