[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 753881, member: 23706"] I am in Al Anon. I don't question my daughter about what she takes. i am fortunate that for various reasons, some my own enabling, she doesn't live with us and hasn't since around 20. It would not be possible. My way of looking at it is that we CANT stop them, but we don't have to help. I wouldn't give Kay cash ever. If she wants to buy drugs SHE funds it, not me. I wouldn't drop her off by a smoke shop where she can buy pot. She can walk to get her beloved pot. No rides. No money. No help. Other than this, I agree with Al Anon that we can do nothing to stop them. They must stop them. A recovered addict in one of my groups quit a bad drug addiction in his late 30s and has been clean since. Now his child is an addict. He is homeless and almost died several times and was in the hospital recently. He flew out to see his hospitalized son who was in an induced coma and helped him calm down when he woke up, but did not want him home and, although he cried at the meeting while telling us, he said that he can't help him. That, being an addict himself, he knows that the worst thing and most futile thing he can do is to "help.". His son listens to nobody anyway and is now physically sick too. He also has a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) from falling off a motorcycle while high so his thinking is both drugged and tainted by his Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). His illness is serious but he won't see a doctor. I listen to sober addict's wisdom more than anyone. Who knows better? This man often tells us he quit after reaching his rock bottom. That he would not have quit if he had not or if his parents had helped him. The man also says that his son needs to decide to quit or he won't. His son is in his 30s too. This man had tears in his eyes when he said he can not keep his son alive, that he could die. That he almost had died this time yet his son seemed not to care one bit. Almost dying was not his rock bottom. He may not have one. At this time the young man's sibling is trying to save him, but the results were the hospital. The grim truth is that a better life has to come from them, but we don't need to help them in their dangerous lives by making it easier. I send you my prayers and love. [/QUOTE]
