[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 342804, member: 1550"] I did those things too, and they didn't work. When SHE felt like it, she turned her life around. She was on drugs from ages 12-19. She is almost 26 now and in college to be a chef. She just bought her first house with her very nice SO. She is a joy. There are a lot of things one can do, but until a drug addict decides to quit, they won't. My daughter had been arrested twice and she still used drugs during that time, although we didn't know it until afterward (they are good at fooling us). So I agree to try, but to realize you can't force a seventeen year old to quit using drugs. Hopefully their upbringings will kick in and they will turn out as great as our two kids did. My daughter is honestly a delightful young adult. She is into herbs and organic foods and it's hard to get her to take an aspirin :happy:. But it had to come from her. She was well aware that we were terrified for her...we used to search her room all the time. And we did call the cops a few times FOR DRUGS. [/QUOTE]
