In this video, Jay shares his journey with substance use. Jay discusses how crystal methamphetamine impacted his life including his job, friendships and relationship. Jay opens up about the importance of honesty and social connection in recovery.
This is one from a series of three videos that explore the impact of crystal methamphetamine through creative interpretations of testimonies. The three lived experience stories are told from the perspective of someone with experience using crystal methamphetamine, a mother of someone who uses crystal methamphetamine, and a health worker who works with people who use crystal methamphetamine. These videos aim to provide a voice to people with lived experience of crystal methamphetamine use, overcome stigma and harmful stereotypes, and provide hope for people with lived experience.
