[QUOTE="Mama Raygun, post: 508365, member: 13907"] Nancy, I can't think of a situation like that personally. But I would imagine that while an addict might feel bad or guilty in that situation, that they wouldn't turn down a free high. I think for the most part that even tho it seems like the addict has no remorse or guilt for the shady things they do, a lot of them feel awful for the lying, cheating, stealing that goes along with using. in fact the guilt and low self image that results from the things they have done to loved ones keeps them sick and using. While I never stole money from my parents during active addiction I did steal their medications, and I had overwhelming guilt and embarrassment each time but I still kept doing it. It's a sick cycle, hard to understand and hard to stop. Hope that sort of answered your ?. [/QUOTE]
