Sandy,
Have you regained your happiness and/or cognition after these years? Are you still feeling and mental or physiological effects?
If I did crystal methamphetamine -- and I don't think I did -- it was only this one time. Would that be enough, do you think, to trigger cell death?

> Went cold-turkey when the kids and I left and moved to a place where no one even knew what crystal meth was! Lol. Let me tell you, it took ONE YEAR to withdraw from it. One year!!! It was horrible. And the only reason I didn't go back was simply because it wasn't available in this part of the world. It was definately a roller-coaster ride, and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I really feel for you as you now begin your withdrawal.
