[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 639495, member: 1550"] tarahas3, my daughter was a drug addict from age 12-19. She has since told me a lot about drug life. There is rarely one drug supplier. Users supply other users. She supplied others. They supplied her. In her words, and I can't verify she is right but she has been clean ten years with no reason to lie, everyone who uses drugs is in a position where they also have to get drugs for others. If you busted one drug supplier, bully for you! One less idiot off the streets, but there will be many others your son can easily find. Also, turning in somebody can put your life in danger. It would probably best be done anonymously. My daughter had people after her for money and many death threats. I didn't know about it because mot of our drug using kids tell us very little about the truth of their lives. We thought her drug of choice was weed. In fact, as she tells us now, it was speed, meth, cocaine, ADHD drugs crushed in pillcrushers and snorted and she even tried heroin. I was, to say the least, shocked to hear her story. But thinking about it, my daughter is not naturally skinny and she looked as skinny as any AIDS victim. In fact, I used to be afraid she had AIDS. It is so good to see her a little bit chubby without dark circles around her eyes...and RED eyes or DILATED eyes! So scary for a mom. I hope your son gets the help he needs. He has to be the one who seeks out his own treatment and stops going to the druggies. There is nothing you can do to stop him unless he asks you for help because he wants to quit. Then there are tons of programs. Many people quit every single day. NEVER EVER FORGET THAT!!!! Have you ever been to Al-Anon so you can learn how to cope while your son is on a path of self-destruction? I found it helped me A LOT. You can rant anytime you want. Heck, the rest of us do. Sending you warm wishes and good vibes and for your son as wellj [/QUOTE]
