Meth Addiction and lack of energy

Question

Asked for Male, 29 Years

I have been using Methamphetamine for the past 3-4 years every day and I need to quit before I lose my wife and kids. But when I don’t use meth I’m always just tired, sleepy, no motivation or energy and that’s why I started using in the first place, was because of the lack of energy I had. I’ve never felt energetic even when I was completely sober
