Fergie's Meth Meltdown

91. Some of these comments really anger me. Most people, unless you have used Meth for yourself...do not know what they are talking about. #30, you really made me mad. Why can't people have the good sense to not start in the first place you ask? You are a moron...no one says to themselves "gee, I want to become addicted to meth, lets start doing it!".

For many people it starts like me. My father (a high school basketball coach with a dark side out of the public...a meth side, a full functioning 'I've got everyone fooled, everyone loves me PROFESSIONAL, college educated man... He was a health freak, ran 5 miles a day and lifted weights for hours at a time...everyone LOVED him), gave me my first line when I was 16 because "I was getting heavy"....I was a star high school female athlete. I lost 25 pounds in a month with his monitoring of me. It gave me the energy to get everything done in my busy high school life, I carried a 3.8 GPA and was a cheerleader, a star softball, star volleyball and star basketball player.

I stopped doing it until college.... I was a college athlete on a full scholarship. I was tired, I was going out to clubs at night, I had work and school and training and not enough time int he day. I did a line at a party, couldn't believe how much energy I had and, couldn't believe that I could stay awake longer (to do everything that before wouldn't fit into 24 hours), couldn't believe that I wasn't hungry...couldn't believe that it gave me the energy to go to the gym and do my 2 hour workout like mad. He wasn't there to monitor me, so I went crazy with the stuff.

That's how the cycle starts, and then after a little that stops and one is addicted. It ruins lives, it ruins families and it takes a very strong person to stop. I was fortunate that I had the will power to stop on my own. My father realized his horrendous mistake and his own addiction, got clean himself and turned to God. I lost a lot of so called friends who thought I turned into a "bore".

So before you judge, you should realize that not everyone is so willing to become addicts. You tell me as a 16 year old, how to say no to drugs when your parent is giving it to you to make you the thinnest, the strongest, the most active athlete on the field and court.

I have since went on in my life to tell my story, to forgive my father (he will live with his guilt until the day he dies, as he now tells me...he didn't realize at the time how dangerous and deadly meth was) and to realize that what I went through in my young life had a reason and a purpose...so I could help others that have been through probably far worse than I have. I am now a married mother, a drug court advocate for children stuck in addicted families, because they have no say in the entire matter. Many MANY addicts do not realize what they are doing to themselves, but they have free will in the end. Their children on the other hand, are having their lives DESTROYED with no say in the matter at all.

Congrats to Fergie for overcoming Meth, it is something to be proud of. Congrats to all of the other posters that have struggled with this as well. We are all a unique bunch with tremendous will power.

92. Fergie is such a talented female and I apperciate her honesty concering her meth addiction. First of all this is nothing new at all. Fergie came clean with her meth addiction a while ago. I new about it for at least a year. Also Fergie did not become Fergie until after her meth addiction. I never even heard of Wild Orchard. Just like many of the talented individulas out there she overcame obstacles, challeneges. Now if you want to talk about some one messing up thier life at the height of thier career...try Whitney Houston. You mistakes in the past make and shape you for today

95. I LOVE FERGIE!!!! I think that it is so brave of her to have came out about even if it was a long time ago!! I myself have been there and recovered. When you finally do beat the drug, all you want to do is praise yourself about getting off the DEVIL!!!!!!(meth). So congrats to Fergie and everyone else who is done with that s***!!! NEVER DO IT IT WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE, BUT YOU CAN BEAT IT. God was the only way that I was able to have the strength to quit!!!!! Congrats

98. "Has Fergie had plastic surgery? The before and after photos from Cityrag.com indicate that she very well may have had a rhinoplasty and a browlift. Her nose looks considerably thinner and shorter in the after photo. The nose often gets shorter when it is thinned or a bump is taken off. Her brows are also excessively arched. This is most likely the result of an endoscopic browlift (short scars, less recovery than the traditional browlift), combined with some possible Botox. Her lips may be naturally fuller than most."

99. That explains why she looks older than me, and I'm 42! Gotta leave the drugz alone, Fergie. You look like a hag.
