I understand the psychology of addiction, and I'm well-educated on the ill effects of meth use... but most meth users don't want non-users to know what they're up to.
The decline in hygiene is a dead giveaway! I don't get it.

When I used meth, I would start sweating about twenty minutes after smoking or snorting. The chemicals used in the manufacturing of the drug is what usually causes the horrible body odor, not necessarily the lack of hygiene.
However, I have had times when I was so spun out that I was not aware of the day or time. If I started using the drug on a Monday it sometimes took me until Wednesday to realize what day it was. When Wednesday would come along I would still be in the same clothes and I had a raunchy smell that I can't describe.
Hope this helps! I don't do it anymore, it ended up being a $120 day habit... I lost everything and it stripped me from every little piece of dignity I had.

You don't get it because you have never BEEN one - anyone can study BOOKS and learn the "head set" of anyone, but until you have been in their shoes, you really do not KNOW.
The chemicals used in making "meth" (very little of what is on the open illegal market is anything NEAR real methamphetamine) are EXTREMELY caustic - most of them are actual poisons! These cause your body to produce an excessive amount of sweat, and it STINKS! Showering three times a day will NOT control the odor. If you are as knowledgeable as you claim, you know long time abuse of the drug can cause your teeth to rot and fall out - again, it is the chemicals AND the fact that dentists are expensive - addicts would MUCH rather score the dope than spend it on their teeth! Once the addict gets used to their own stench (alcoholics can get this way too) and learn to eat (only when they have to) without teeth, they truly no longer CARE what you or anyone else thinks about it. Seriously - the ONLY people they "don't want to know what they are up to" is maybe their parents, teachers, spouses, kids, and the POLICE. If you are not a direct threat to them, their addiction and you knowing is immaterial.

you're no longer gonna like this, yet you may't be with him anymore. in comparison to this. i'm no longer asserting which you would be out of his existence thoroughly, with the aid of fact that isn't any longer real. He does choose acquaintances around him magnificent now, on the grounds it somewhat is the only way he's going to get by way of this. yet you may't be with him as a greater robust half, with the aid of fact in case you get too on the brink of this, such as you have already got, then he's going to pull you down with him, and you're the two going to hit all-time low. yet he does choose you, to desire with, to speak to. Please discover a pastor or counselor at a interior of sight church or something which you and your boyfriend can communicate too. it somewhat is the 1st step. the folk there can refer you to centers or someplace to help him get wiped sparkling up. sturdy success! i'm going to desire for you.

i'd agree in part with the second answer.
i didn't want to spend any money whatsoever on cleaning products when there was more drugs to buy. every dollar and cent i had went to it.
you usually for some reason, don't realise how bad you start looking either.
