[QUOTE="DarkwingPsyduck, post: 702409, member: 20267"] The safest bet is to assume every word from an active drug addict is a lie until proven otherwise. That might seem kind of harsh or unfair, but we certainly earn it. With just about every other person in life, you can mostly just assume things they tell you are true. If an addict tells you he ate at KFC for lunch, he probably ate at McDonald's. We get SO used to lying, and weaving our little webs that we begin to lie about mundane, unimportant, and/or irrelevant :censored2:. Despite there being absolutely nothing to gain by doing so. You become a better liar by practice. So we lie about just about anything and everything. To hone our skills. If he relies on you and the family financially, make that aid dependent on him passing a urine test. Something that shouldn't bother him if he is truly clean. It'll be like he literally pisses money. Which sounds painful... [/QUOTE]
