The first time I met Janet (not her real name), I was struck by her simple, innocent look and beauty. Years of an ugly addiction to meth later sucked the life out of her and stole her beauty. The drug turned her into a beast. She became ill tempered and unhappy, erratic and uncontrollable, her smile replaced by a constant look of agitation.
I heard her boyfriend beat her after coming down from a meth high. He's in jail now, his whole body rotting not just as his teeth did in the early stages of his addiction. This is a sad story; they could have beat the addiction. There is effective drug rehab in Georgia. But they didn't know where to look. This is another reason I work in the drug referral industry.
