Appearance during our drug use???

[gizzy32]

the drugs we used did a lot of damage not only to our minds, but also our appearance during use. i remember having friends and family tell me that i looked like ****, lol and i know i did. i had lost a lot of weight, had those dark circles under my eyes and my skin looked so pale. sometimes i looked like a fr eaking zombie. i was also mean and impatient sometimes. ok i was an as shole during my use:). anyway i saw an old friend today i have not seen for almost a year and he said that i looked healthier. i have to admit that it felt good. what i really heard him say was "glad to see you are off the coke. it just struck me strange i guess that a lot people knew i was always hopped up on coke. although this was a tiny compliment, (too bad it was from a guy, lol), it made me feel good. just wanted to know if you guys can notice a difference in your appearance now or if you have had someone notice you are clean just by looking at you? maybe a dumb question, but im interested to see how fugly ya'll got when you used and how hot you are now, lol:), but seriously can u notice a difference in how you look now, compared to when you used???

last summer my daughter got married. it was the social event of the year. a formal affair with drs, lawyers, whos who. i lost 15 pounds that i didn't need to lose, my hair, eyes ,skin and dress were all the same color.i can't look at the pictures i am in. i looked 30 years older. which would put me around 80. needless to say the event was a blur. it took me from july to january to make a plan to quit.

I lost a TON of weight while on the O's!! I went from a size 38 to a size 32 in under about 8 months!! I used for about 2 years. It didnt get bad until about the last 8 months or so. You could tell I had something wrong with me. Glad Im back to my normal self. Well, clean and preggo right now BUT once I have this lil one, Ill get back into my 32's, I HOPE & PRAY, HEHE.
