Is paranoid behavior normal after 7 months clean of meth?

LoveMet	Is paranoid behavior normal after 7 months clean of meth? I have a question for you long time addict's out there. My fiance swears there are people out to get him at work. He drives this little work vehicle around and he spray painted stuff on it. Well someone changed it and he SWORE someone is out to get him. I am probably guessing someone just covered what he did. Is this paranoid behavior normal for someone who supposed to be almost 7 months clean?

I'm not a long term addict, but I know my addiction did cause me to become more paranoid, I think I still am.....oh yea, I don't think I'm being paranoid....I think somebody is really watching me.....there is a part of my brain....some small part that might still actually believe that...I'm not saying for sure.....I'm just saying, yea, it's possible Actually, I had to take medication (steroids) for poison ivy this week and I feel like I'm coming down from Meth....and more than a little paranoid. Yea, I think it might hang around, esp. if he was kind of predisposed to being that way..
