[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 132683, member: 1550"] Hi there. You have lots of company in the "he did all THAT?" department. My daughter was busted twice for pot and swore to us with big eyes that that's all she took. "I don't even like drinking. It makes me sick." She mostly did her thang at night, when we were sleeping and she was out with friends (and she DID listen to her curfew!) But I can't stay up beyond 10:00 so she could march in high after that and I'd be out cold. Hub was a step and kept his suspicions to himself, knowing I would get mad if he suspected she was doing hard drugs. Haha. The short version of the story is that daughter has completely quit, even cigarettes. However, she did it all--her biggest drug was crushed speed so that she could snort it with her friends (mostly ADHD medications because its easy to fake ADHD and many kids did). SHe also would lace it with coke. She took ecstascy and OTC drugs that are now banned and tried heroin twice. That's when she started to scare herself--she met somebody with needle marks all over her body and thought "I don't want THAT to be me." After we caught her having a drug party at home (one that we thought was merely a pot party) we finally made her leave. She straightened out almost right away while living with her straight arrow brother in another state (it helped that she was no longer near her druggie friends and no longer had a car to meet new druggie friends). Her brother made her walk to work, and she found a job at a nearby Subway. My daughter quit without rehab. She quit because "I couldn't stand myself anymore." She hit rock bottom. She knew her brother would toss her on her arse if she even smoked a cigarette in his house. THen she would have truly been homeless. They quit when they are at rock bottom and desperately WANT to quit. She has told me that rehab wouldn't have helped her until she was ready to do it. Lila, I'm so sorry about your son. You are a very brave person and thank you for sharing. (((Hugs))) [/QUOTE]
