Question I smoked crystal meth regularly from October '06 to October '07. I have been very healthy and drug free since I stopped smoking. I never smoked anything before and don't smoke anything at all now. Halfway through December '07 I started to cough. I went to the doctor in January and he gave me antibiotics for bronchitis. The cough cleared a little but never went away completely so the doctor gave me an inhaler. One month later I still cough a bit. Will this go away on it's own? Have I done some damage to my lungs? How can I heal myself from this stupid drug use?
Answer Hi Karen,
There is no one in the world who has not made mistakes, probably Nature realises this and rarely punishes someone who has corrected himself or herself. Your cough is probably not related to your use of the drug. What has happened s that you have developed COPD quite independently, and you are being treated. This takes a long time to treat and do not expect quck cure for this, it takes years. I suggest you go ahead with the treatment with patience.
