how do you tell if they are an addict?

[BlkWaterLilY]

Ok so I'm not claiming that I am innocent but my best friend is getting more and more distant and I know she is doing a lot of meth, her boyfriend is an admitted meth addict. She tells me she isnt doing it very often and that she has it under control but I just don't know if I can believe her. The thing is shehas reallybeen into serious drigs like amphetamies and ecstacy since she was in high school and she is 25 now, so its like maybe drugs just don't affect her in a bad way or something. I know she has also recently smoked crack at least once.So is there any dead giveaways that I might be able to notice that she is totallly hooked on this stuff?


She hasnt lost weight because she is on an anti depressant called SYMBYAX which actually causes weight gain. And she consumes alot of sugar. I know thatsome people can eat on meth once they have been doing it for a while. Well I don't know, like I said I am no stranger to this stuff but at the same time I never got that into it cuz I hated the comedown. I may be naive, maybe I just want to believe her so bad that I'm missing the clues. But she is soooo different now, it's like I dont even know her anymore. I just need some advice, any really. Anything on how I can really tell if she is doing it all the time and what, if anything, I can do because she is totally in denial if she is addicted. What do you all think? I will appreciate anything youcan tell me
