Absent minded, memory loss due to drug addiction "shabu"

I think half of my life has changed. What i suppose to say is all about my health condition it is not about any painful or  illness of the body internally or externally. I am an addicted person to a particular drugs that can only be found in ASIAN Country it is known as "SHABU". Its been almost three(3) years of using this drugs "shabu" i took it not everyday but most of the time i can used it 1,3 to 5 times in just one day.

Long-term effects may include:

Addiction
Psychosis, including:
paranoia
hallucinations
repetitive motor activity
Changes in brain structure and function
Deficits in thinking and motor skills
Increased distractibility
Memory loss
Aggressive or violent behavior
Mood disturbances
Severe dental problems
Weight loss

I always wanted to stop this bad habit but i must admit the fact that, there's no easy way on escaping drug addiction.
It is my personal problem which i don't know where to find a better solution.
I would appreciate your help...
Thank you.

I got the same info about Shabu, just another nickname for Meth.  If that's the drug you're using you should be able to find people on here who have succeeded in getting clean from it and may be able to give you advice.  Be patient because the site is fairly slow these days.

Are you talking about methamphetamines? I googled shabu and it said that it is japanese "slang" for crystal meth. I've never heard of it before, but I do know alot of people that have been addicted to the crystal meth around california. Do you have a plan on quitting?
