[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 714128, member: 15032"] A bit off topic but have you or anyone here ever checked out [URL="http://www.drugfree.org?"]www.drugfree.org?[/URL] There is a lot of information on this site, personal stories and resources also. They recently had an article about not calling our loved ones an "addict". I have never like that term myself. It defines them as an addict rather than the person that they truly are that has a [B]substance abuse problem[/B]. I just have a hard time with the stigma not only that we have as their family but the person has themselves. It must be so demoralizing to be called an addict!! If the families just see them as that then how can society ever accept them as anything other than that? [/QUOTE]
