[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 432594, member: 1550"] Hon, been there and it reeks. I found that my daughter confessed to doing a lot less drugs than she was doing. She only told us the whole of it after she quit (which she did herself, with no rehab). My feeling is that no matter how somebody quits (many need supports, a few don't), they have to be 100% ready to say no to ALL their friends and pretty much start over. My daughter was fortunate because we sent her to live with a straight-arrow brother out of town so the peer pressure stopped and so did she. If this is not possible, the decision to quit and stay clean is NOT easy, and has to be up to the person. I don't believe punishment will help. I do believe in natural consequences so that they can actually hit rock bottom and see how bad it can get. This is a horrible journey that I don't wish on anybody. Sending you good thoughts and all my support. [/QUOTE]
