Unfortunately, the people who should be reading this will never see it. So sad, so many lives broken.
I cannot seem to open this link to show the before/after meth faces, would you mind emailing me the website? I love reading your posts, I feel like I'm actually learning something! BTW, at one point you did a post on speaking in tongues, what was the date for that one?
