DISQUS

Just for the record - It doesn't say it in the video but the website where this is originally posted states that this man is under the influence of methemphetamine.

Jill, my deepest sympathies. I truly hope that everyone will take the time to read about the life and untimely death of your beautiful son. God Bless you.

I see people on a daily basis that I would guess are tweekers. I try not to make judgments about people because I never really know, but it can be hard when they display ALL the typical symptoms.
My comment above was in regards to a recovered addict and the fact that there are many in everyday life that folks couldn't pick out as an ex speed freak :)

Thank you Stella for the encouragement, I really appreciate your support!!

I actually researched it to try and find out what her sentencing was and couldn't find anything. There was a follow up story that just mentioned that she would be charged with murder. I assume it awaiting trial since the story isn't that old.

Everyone is different and some people respond better than others, but truthfully the human body is amazing and the ability to bounce back in my experience has been nothing short of amazing. I had a friend who was so emaciated that she looked anorexic; she went to jail and came out looking like a model. It know it sounds far-fetched, but I was in awe. Unfortunately she went right back to her habits and I haven't seen her in years.

To answer your question, I believe being healthy goes a long way and there are many, many addicts that have gotten clean and you would never know they were addicts just by looking at them.

Erin thank you so much for the positive words. Please come back soon - I really value your input as a professional in this field!

I know - before you say it: these are old already! I am aware of that :) I just feel like it's important to keep this circulating for those that may not have seen it yet. It's good to have a visual representation of what this drug can do to a person's appearance. Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks George - your encouragement is always appreciated and welcome here :)
