I worked meth labs from 2000 to present. I estimate that I entered around 175 illicit labs. There is no doubt that my health started declining after the exposure, even though I didn't realize what was causing the decline at the time.
When I started the program I was very anxious. I was unable to complete tasks or concentrate on what was needed to be done. I also felt like I was covered by a dark cloud
that didn't allow me to be happy. My physical state was poor, I was sick and had no energy. I didn't dare exercise for fear of getting sicker. I had little hope of getting myself back.
As the detox program progressed I started to see the physical symptoms diminish. I also recognized them for what they were, a result of the exposure. I feel like myself again. I have a feeling of well being and I feel strong again. I don't have that cloud over me anymore.
Today is a good day!
