What is the Most Dangerous Drug Addiction?

Methamphetamine, meth, or locally shabu, is a dangerous drug. While it’s true that many drugs are deadly for an addict, meth holds a special place on top of the list of the most dangerous drugs.

Meth addiction continues to strongly ravage individuals all over the globe as it is rampantly peddled in the streets. But what is the allure of this drug?

For a non-addict, meth addiction is insane. Mixed with substances such as battery acid, cough syrup, and many more, there’s also the stigma that comes with it as it conjures images of rotting teeth and scabbed faces. However, for the meth addict, these things–as well as many others–don’t mean anything. The incredibly intense high from the drug is enough to obliterate any worry, remorse, or even logic.

Aside from altering your sleep, health, hygiene, and negatively affecting every aspect of your life, meth also destroys your emotions. And it does so gradually. At first, you’d think meth improves your life as it enhances your confidence, keeps you active, and makes you lose weight. However, eventually, you’ll realize all the damage it wreaks, but now it’s immensely difficult to turn back.

Meth also causes permanent and even irreversible brain damage, even robbing you of the ability to be happy long after you have quit meth.

Still, there’s hope.

Like all other drugs and addictions, treatment is possible, and recovery can be achieved. It just takes a big dose of commitment and discipline, despite the high rate of relapse for meth addicts.

Being honest about meth addiction and what it does to your life is one of the most vital things you can do for yourself as you take that first step to recovery.
