I know someone who I am absolutley positive that they are doing meth but they are still quite large. What does that mean, if anything?
What's the first step in helping someone who has admitted they are using? But is unsure if he wants help? My family is all aware of my 18 year old brothers use and has told him are hands are out when he needs us. I am seeking counseling myself to learn more about meth. use and how I can help him. Please let me know if you have any advice. Thank You very much
my husband is 6'3 and 275 and doing it for over a year. About a year ago whenI first relized there was a problem he was down 65pounds in about two months. Now he eats but that is to try and convince me that he isn't doing anything. He also keeps weight on now because he craves sugar. He will in one day actually eat 2 boxes of popsicles and a big bag of m&m's, a container of ice cream, and I don't know how many reese's cups. All sugar all the time. That's everyday. I belive he likes the ice cream and popsicles because he is so hot all the time. He freezes us to death in this house. Windows open in the winter, air conditioning when it's 60 outside and fans running all the time.
