[QUOTE="PiscesMom, post: 714342, member: 19889"] I read somewhere that addiction was about regulating emotions. Not a healthy way to be sure, but the addict doesn't have that ability. The man in the truck doesn't "need" to use, so how can he judge? Yes, I know it is so frustrating, and it is tempting to just get angry, but it doesn't work. I know, because I have tried getting angry at addicts. You get nowhere, maybe you make things worse? I recommend al anon. It felt so good not to be angry anymore when I started going, back in the day. I don't go anymore... My ex sister in law has this video on her fb page. Her son (she loves him so much, truly) just began a lengthy prison sentence - something about crystal meth. I wish she understood addiction better. [/QUOTE]
