[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 686265, member: 1550"] After my daughter quit, she was so quiet and sad, but she did things she had not done before like get a job, walking back and forth in the chicsgo cold. She had given up all her friends and was living in a new state in a cold basement in her super strsight brother's house. He would have kicked her out with no mercy for one cigarette so she gave that up too. Until she met her straight boyfriend, she went months without friends becsuse she is shy and all her friends in our state were drug users. Most ended up still unemployed (eventually she found out when the found her on facebook) on drugs and in/out jail. She didnt like them even fbing her so she gave up FB and still doesnt have one. It has been twelve years since meth. She did other speed too. I am awed that she quit without rehab. She didnt even tell us she was doing it. Suddenly we noticed she was.....brand new. I know its true that talking the talk means nothing. She promised to quit all the time. Without walking the walk and changing your entire life...and friends...I dont think the will or mindset is there. My daughter is a loving partner, mother and homeowner now and she put herself through college for a two year pastry chef certificate and won several cooking awards and got to go to Austria with her classmates.. But she thinks quitting and staying off drugs was the hardest and best thing she ever did. I am so proud of how she fought for a good life. She is one of my heroes. Look carefully at your childs lifestyle and friends before you believe they quit. But it can happen. It is all up to your loved one. [/QUOTE]
