Chemical Dependency/Illness or weakness

[mrnoodle]

I wish there was an entity as effective as AA for meth users. I know there are various 12-step programs that sort of blanket the whole realm of addiction, but meth is a filthy, filthy drug that deserves separate attention.

I've got two friends who are hooked on it, and one of them is almost to the point of no return, brain-wise. She doesn't even talk like an intelligent person anymore. I imagine her heart rate is similar to that of a small bird, and she weighs about as much. She's had an intervention, she's been in jail, she's been broke, she's been raped, she sells both meth and her own body (although she swears she's not 'working' anymore, no one really believes her). Her teeth used to be beautiful, but they're nasty and brown now. Oddly enough, her hair's still in, and she doesn't have the burn marks on her fingertips from the pipe anymore. I hope she's not injecting. Age -- 23.

Meth is the filthiest drug ever invented.
