Website: www.facebook.com Crystal meth is the most popular drug among young people in America, attracting more than 12 million people a year to try it. Highly addictive and cheap, Meth is a drug that wreaks havoc on its users, as well as lives of friends and family. Meth addicts quickly lose touch with reality and care about only one thing: their next fix. In this episode of True Life we meet several young people whose lives have been taken over by the drug and will explore the challenges they face trying to rid themselves of their addiction. Ashlee, 21, lives in Fort Worth, Texas, and first tried crystal meth at the age of 14. She and boyfriend Brandon lived with her parents until a falling out split them up. With her life spinning out of control, Ashlee binges every few hours for days at a time and moves in with her friend, Paula, whose boyfriend has left and taken her children because of her drug use. When their stash runs low, a desperate Paula takes to selling her body for any drugs she can get her hands on, even if she’s unsure of what they are.

Question by Lisa T: Has anyone tried taking Antabuse to help with alcoholism? Did it work? What were the side effects?
My husband has a serious drinking problem. I am desperate in finding something to help him stop drinking. He has tried many times but always goes right back. HELP me with any suggestions that you may have. Thanks Lisa
Best answer:
Answer by bmac Well, Lisa….if he wants to stop drinking, great. Antabuse is not a great idea. I understand the pain and frustration you’re having. It does have bad side effects like seizures, jaundice (liver problems-which he probably has already) and severe diarrhea and vomiting. These are usually so bad, that the person stops taking the Anatbuse. Has he gone to AA? That is the BEST thing. It is more successful than anything else he could try. And you can go to Al-Anon. It’s for the family/friends of alcoholics. It will help you so much. Even if he won’t go to AA, I highly recommend Al-Anon for you.
