Why do meth addicts look like zombies?
Is it because they lose interest in personal hygiene? And why do some have scabs all over their faces?

Is my boyfriend an ex-meth addict or a current meth addict?
I just started dating a guy who says he did meth for 5 years, but quit in 2003. He is hyperactive and kind of twitchy, but he is sometimes able to sit down and relax. He has a full time job and goes to school and seems perfectly mentally stable, although he hangs out with pot heads and pill poppers. He doesn't have any mood swings or violent behaviors, but he does get really spacey at night and doesn't seem like himself sometimes. He also has itchy red bumps all over his body. He says that its eczema, and he takes Zyrtec to ease the itching. He has no sexual dysfunction, but he gets an erection VERY easily. I hate kissing him sometimes because his mouth gets really dry and tastes very salty, but this taste goes away after he brushes his teeth, and his teeth are very nice none are missing or black . I know that meth can have lasting effects on a person, even after they've stopped using. I'm wondering if these are normal behaviours for an ex addict, or if it sounds like he's started using again. Thank you.Actually, I know for a fact that he does smoke weed on the weekends and has in the past taken pills idk what kind with his friends. I don't care about the weed, I used to do it, I just wanna make sure I'm not getting involved with someone I shouldn't be. He's got his life together he works, is working on a degree, and is a really good friend and boyfriend we were friends for like 8 months before getting together . His behaviour is just kind of strange sometimes, and it seems like he has trouble controlling his hyperactiveness.

Should I tell my mom my brothers a meth addict?
I have recently learned that my older brother 35, has been smoking meth for the past 2 years.I'm 25 and i always looked up to him so much and to learn this has broken my heart. He's not the person I thought he was.He's bipolar also and blames all his drug symptoms on his mental illness. He treats my mother like a slave. She always gives him money and shes enabling him. He throws tantrums when she cant give him money. My mom works 2 jobs and is very sick. Should I tell her? How do I go about doing this? Shes very touchy about my brother and if we say anything bad about him she gets upset. I fear if I tell her she wont talk to me and ignore me. I love them both but my brother is running my mom into the grave, Please advise me. thank you.

Recovering meth addict..?
Well, Its bin 3ish years since I've touched meth. I always thought the cravings would go away. But when ever i get stressed I always start thinking about the stupid drug. I really just wish this feeling would go away. But I don't think it ever will .I've think i know why. I've always had some sort of substance to run to. blow haven't touched blow in a year ,booze...ETC and I've quit drinking and smoking for 5 months. so now I have nothing and I'm finding it really hard to deal with my problems on my own. anyone have the same problems and have any tips on how to fix or fight the cravings?

How would I get under a meth addicts skin?
So my girlfriend, a friend of mine, and myself got this new roommate who is a methhead. He's usually out of his mind and yelling at himself and random shit in his room. I was just wondering for future reference what I would need to do to avoid getting under his skin or to deliberately get under his skin because its getting crazier than it needs to be.

My friend is a meth addict?
What do I do?? I love him dearly and he is the father of my two children. How do I help him? His family wants nothing to do with him. I am the only one willing to help because I love him so much. His nose has been bleeding lately but he only smokes it. How is this possible? Neither of us can afford rehab nor really have insurance. How can I help him without it?? I am desperate I want the man I fell in love with back. He's moody, can be aggressive, losing lots of weight, depressed, paranoid and unmotivated Please help

Is it really true that all meth addicts pick their face, stare out the window, become paranoid, and lose weigh?

How to help a heroin and meth addict?
I have a family member who has done heroin for 6 years and recently started doing meth. She will just go missing, we will search for her, find her, bring her into detox or bring her to her moms but she just sneeks out or leaves detox. She says she wants help but everyone is exhausted from searching for her and worrying 24 7. I am wondering if anyone knows of any rehab centers decently priced that will actually work. She has insurance that will pay for in state Arizona but I feel like she would be more successful outside of AZ since she wont know anyone to go pick her up. We don't have the money to pay for treatment and if anyone knows of way to pay to get help please let me know. THANK YOU Thanks, John...that was helpful. And we are right outside Phoenix...they are EVERYWHERE we found her in the cliche roach motel with a guy twice her age tweaked out and she told us she met him outside of a burger king. how will she ever get over this if it is EVERYWHERE and it is as easy as sitting outside of a restaurant to get high?

My brother was a crystal meth addict...?
and because of this, I would describe him as socially and mentally challenged. This was many years ago, but now he claims to be clean. He lives with my mother who is 54, and he can't hold a job or even hold a friendship because his mental state is that of an 8 yr. old and his age is 27. My concern is that once in a while he flips and becomes like a monster who's dangerous to us. He's come very close to hitting my mother and sister. He also just recently started torturing animals, we believe he killed my mother's chihuahua and has hit another one of her dogs. I'm convinced that the torturing is the beginning to something, that if left untreated, can become very sinister. I want him out of my mother's house and so does she, but he literally has nowhere to go. No friends, no family, nothing What do we do? My mother has tried to get help from the government to send him to a doctor who can help him, but he was denied. We don't want to see him living under a bridge, we love him. But at the same time we have to take care of ourselves. Besides, if we turn him onto the streets, who knows what can happen, he can hurt someone or someone can hurt him.............My mother would be considered low income, I would say, so sending him to a pricey rehab is something we can't afford. I'm a student, so I myself can't afford it either. He was denied Medical, so in other words, he's screwed. We live in the Coachella valley, in Palm Springs area, any suggestions?any would be appreciated,.Thank you

Question for other recovering meth addicts.?
I've been clean off Crystal Meth for a year and a month. It's still a struggle every day, every time I leave the house I leave my money at home and my first thought is always to buy some dope. It's hard because I could go to about 30 different places and get it, and they re all really close to my house. I don't leave the house much, I basically lock myself inside everyday and if I go anywhere its the same place every time, to my best friends. I've waited and waited and waited for things to get easier, they do get easier but its VERY SLOWLY, the problem is that I feel dead, I basically have no emotions except for anger, I don't care about anything except for staying clean . I don't feel happiness, and if I do it's only for a second and i don't feel it strongly. I'm SO insecure about my personality & how I come across to people, I was never like that before meth. I used to be tha happiest person ever, really bubbly, carefree, I would talk without thinking & joke a lot, and never used to over analyze things like I do now. I hate myself & the person that I am now, I'm always so serious because I can't let go & be free. I need to know when things will be how they were before meth, if they ever will.When will I be the person that I once was...& have you been through things like this?All the people that I know that have done meth are still meth addicts, except for one, he's been clean for almost 6 months & is doing GREAT, he acts like nothing happened & nothing is wrong, it's so much easier for him, I don't know how he does it...

Why do meth addicts have sores ? Just wondering .?


I found out my boyfriend is a recovering meth addict....?
He was keeping it a secret from me and he doesn't know that I know. I got a phone call from his sister that was checking up on him and wanted to know if he still went to NA meetings. Apparently he's has been clean for 14 months, i've only known him for about 7 months but i don't know how to feel about this Should i tell him i know? or should i just let it go? I really never anticipated this, he is 24, very smart and has a good job and i love him. but that was such a big part of his past he was an addict for over 5 years I hear that meth addicts often relapse, but i don't know how i would deal with something like that? i need some help or advice or something. also it doesn't look like he is showing any signs of relapsing, but i am just concerned. Also, i don't know if he still goes to meetings, but whenever he gets a call from a guy with a private caller listing, he often takes it into the other room, i don't know if that might be a sponsor or someone else... i'd have to actually ask him to know for sure but i don't know if i should bring it up at all.
