[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 668544, member: 1550"] This is why we stopped all money with daughter when she used. She did get a job, and did a good job at her job, even after using more than pot. But it wasn't us giving her the money, at least, and she didn't get to work in our car. She had to do everything herself after we saw we could not help her...that she did not want help. It did have a good ending. I was with Daughter this weekend and she talked about her quitting for the first time and, although she and her boyfriend (who knew her at the time) were laughing about it, she said it took a week for her to detox. She did it herself. She took meth, much worse than weed. So anyone can quit. If they really want to, they will do it. And anyone, even those you feel are lost, CAN decide "I've had enough" which is what finally drove my daughter. She told me (and this made me cringe) that in Wisconsin she had been the "go to" person in the area for speed of any kind. I sort of gulped. Until last night I hadn't known that. And then when she tried to quit, people threatened her because she had been their.....connection. So she went to Illinois and did not seek out others who were doing drugs and quit and it's been twelve years. She is near thirty now and this all happened at nineteen. She used from thirteen to nineteen. I thought she'd die or end up in prison. I was beside myself. It didn't happen. Anyone's adult child can say "ENOUGH" and turn it around. Remember that. [/QUOTE]
