[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 44579, member: 1835"] Deb, I totally agree! Since our son has been in his group home and been pot-free for seven months and has had lots of time to reflect back on the last year or so of his life (with the help of counseling), he is the first to admit that he was an addict and cared only about "getting high." The fact that, because of his pot use, he was rapidly destroying his relationship with us and other family members as well as some of his friends, was quickly losing the opportunity to graduate from high school with his class, had been denied (by us...) the opportunity to take driver's training, and was losing out on the car we promised to buy him when he turned 18 bothered him terribly but simply just wasn't that important compared to getting together with his friends for that daily smoke. He knows very well that all of the above doesn't apply to a "recreational" pot smoker, and that, as such he was/is an "addict." He's also aware that he has a real challenge ahead of him to stay away from all substances. [/QUOTE]
