Meth Addiction & Recovery: Will my metabolism ever be normal again?

Question

I gained about 35 lbs in 3 weeks after I quit. Its been 9 months and I've been dieting religiously. I know for certain that my metabolism is seriously screwed up. I am worried that it will never be the same. If anyone has personal experiences with this, please share.

Answer 1

Congrats on your sobriety!  Weight gain happens even when quitting cigarettes.  No personal experience here, but keep taking good care of yourself.  It can only be of a benefit to you and everyone around you.  I bet you things will get back to normal, even if it takes over a year.  Otherwise, ask a doctor.
