[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 240538, member: 6546"] KJS-- I am willing to bet that just knowing you are very proud of him means a lot. I am the child of an alcoholic who also used to smoke like a chimney. By the time I reached high school I was SO sick of always being around cigarettes and beer--it was just repulsive to me. But then I reached a point in my social life where it seemed that the only way to be accepted by other kids was to "party". I actually used to [I]pretend[/I] to be drinking or smoking just to fit in... And because the other kids at the party were wasted, nobody noticed that I actually wasn't participating in the smoking or drinking. To this day, I have never smoked, taken any drugs, and we only have alcohol in the house for company. Stick by your son...let him know that you trust him and that you are very proud of him....and let him know that just because it [I]seems[/I] like everybody he knows is into "partying" right now, it won't always be that way. It sounds like he has a good head on his shoulders...I would think he'll be OK! --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
