Congratulations on your sobriety. I suggest you do puzzles and play word games. Some of it will come back but you need to work it.

It depends on how much and the % of alcohol. As for the pot, they have tests now that can trace it back by years.

recently there have been many studies done on adults with ADD or ADHD. Some of these studies are showing that long term affects of stimulant meds are causing brain imparment. \n  Other drugs you can take is plain coffee, or rearrange your diet. Have faith that it will work better than the meds.

You have to exercise your brain like you do your body.  Do crosswords, math problems, word games.  My mother had this problem and her doctor recommended doing these things and she has seen improvement.

Well done on realising your status in life. As a successful, recovering drug addict i suggest the following..\n\nPlan what you realistically could acheive within your means.\nStick to your plan\nYou have internet access, use it!\nCreate a CV to distribute to various employers & agencies.\nFind short-term employment solutions to fund your basic needs like travelling costs to interviews, helping pay for groceries around the house, etc.\n\nI promise that if you show that little bit of effort to help, your mom & friends will notice it & they will lend you a hand of help. Remember that from the bottom, theres only one way to go, thats up!

Well, a lot depends on your diet, health & lifestyle. Keeping yourself  away from drugs (including tobbaco and alcohol) and meat can improve things a lot, even through your forties.\nAnother important thing is your relationship.

Put out nothing but help and kindness and that's what you will get back.  \n\nAlso, you have to be willing to work smarter, not harder and learn to live without certain "luxury's" like smokes or drinks.

Lots and lots of good quality weed. Then, when you're over it, try re-evaluating your life to see why you need the crutch of hard drugs...stop running and face the reasons! Trust me, it'll do you better mentally, physically and emotionally. Failing that, keep using, as it's one way to weed out the weak from the strong (survival of the fittest)

All and every kind you can think of.Well.......not all. I would startwith b1 for the liver.I bet every single organ has been affected.Eat alot of fish. that is brain food. Are you going to stop the meth? no sence in trying to get better if your not stopping. may God be with you on your road to recovery.

Just observations.  Exercise.  I do not mean lots of exercise.  If you are used to sitting a lot.  Get up and move around.  Do some walking around the house or outside.  This keeps the brain supplied in blood.  A better supply of blood will help.  This may not be your problem,  I cannot say.  Just a suggestion.  (You may be 19 and very active????)

Do something which challenges your ablities.  Learning new things keeps brain cells from atrophying, and will keep you sharp and alert.  Never stop trying and learning new things.  Try painting. If that isn't your thing, try woodworking, or sky diving, or working with glass- either cutting it for stained glass windows. investing in a small bench burner for making beads, trinkets, other paraphenalia, ( Iknow one craftsman who makes blown glass dildos.  Shocking enough, but when he tossed it down the road and it didn't break or crack, I was impressed).  Ever go scuba diving? If so, challenge yourself and go to the next level.  Paraglide.  Go on an archeological dig.  Enroll in college or as returning adult student- many universities offer courses you can take  without putting a strain on your time.  There are other institutes which give you the oportunity to try avenues you might not have thought of exploring without great time or money expenditure.  Speaking of exploring, why not?  There a great many things to explore in the U.S. alone to check out and enhance your life.  What about the Anasasi who dissapeared off the face of the earth, supposedly, without a trace?  The world and life it supports, has far too many resources and treasures for anyone to get bored, if they just take the time to step away from themselves and seek...

I think you should get a frontal lobotomy and start over again.  After you have recovered fully, take spelling lessons.  Then you will be good to go.

there was only one way for me.\ni had to completely remove myself from any situation or people who took drugs. i am very aware of the temptation and my lack of willpower to ''just say no'', so there was only one way out, and that was to literally leave ppl who i really loved as friends and all the good times behind. After about half a year my cravings were subsiding and i was thinking more clearly. i realised being a drug addict was no longer something i found cool or fun or normal in any way. I have just grown up and moved on. i dont regret my taking in the past but i am also convinved i dont want drugs to be a part of my present or future. \nI didnt go to rehab or therapy to help me quit,but if you feel you are unable to completely remove yourself from situations where there are drugs AND IT IS SO FUCKING HARD, I DONT DENY THIS then you should def get some help.\ni have been clean 10 months now and it truly does get easier with time. the beginning was hell,the middle made life seem like a vaccum of boredom and now i feel great!\nso please consider what iv written, i hope this doesnt sound preachy at all because that is not my intention. i just really want to help others who are going thru wat i did...\ngood luck!

You can increase your ecstacy with illegal drugs by avoiding them. \n\nTry learning to appreciate the little things: a baby's laugh, the way the moss grows on a tree, smiles from strangers and so on.\n\nI know that's not what you wanted, but as an old ex-drug user, it's the best I've got to give.

Stay off the drugs for a year and then try again, there will be other chances for jobs and if he has a drug problem then he needs to work on that first!!
