Synopsis
Clea Myers, a young English woman, comes to America to live the dream but experiences the nightmare. She goes from an Ivy League College to Los Angeles Women's Penitentiary in 3 years, emaciated and addicted to crystal meth. How could things go so wrong and in such a short space of time?
Myers shares her descent into the hell of crystal methamphetamine dependence. Her story is of An English girl from a privileged background
whose addiction journey brings her from an Ivy League College to Los Angeles Women’s Penitentiary in only three years, emaciated and
addicted to crystal meth.
Myers’ description of her rapid demise is a sometimes uncomfortable read, as she holds nothing back. The lights of Hollywood twinkled briefly but, once introduced to crystal meth, she became addicted. ‘Dumpster diving ‘became a regular pastime: grovelling in large rubbish containers, ‘diving’ for articles of value or fascination to her hugely disturbed mind. She was reduced to an animal existence, surrounded by dangerous and sometimes violent people.
Arrested and jailed, she hit rock bottom and was offered a chance to leave LA immediately or stay in the drug offenders Programme. Helped
by a family member, she returned to England still unable to stop completely. Finally, she did get help and discover a recovery path which
combined her buddhist faith and reassures her relationship with the 12-step programme.
Crystal meth in England has been reported only on the gay club scene. Part of the reason Myers wrote this book is to warn young people of its dangers. This book could be well used as part of a schools drug education programme.DAVID CHARKHAM is an addictions therapist
at Capio Nightingale Hopsital and founder of Sober Support International
