Is there any hope at all?

[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 507053, member: 1550"] Hi, NIcelady. You poor thing... I really felt you pain. I have a daughter, now 27, who used drugs heavily from 12-19. I thought she would either end up in jail or dead and I preferred JAIL! After a few false starts and a trip to live with her straight brother in another state, she quit. She not only quit drugs, but even cigarettes. She walked to and from work (her license had been revoked) and she became the manager of a Subway.Baby Steps. She is now a culinary school graduate with a good job at the college she went to (she is the pastry chef of all their events). She bought a house with her boyfriend of eight years. She has been clean all this time without going to rehab or even therapy (not that these things are not helpful, but she did it herself). THERE IS HOPE. My daughter was in such bad shape that drug dealers were after her for money. Sometimes it is just a phase, so please hang in there and Keep the Faith. I did not expect her to turn this around on her own. Your son is still young too. He has plenty of years left. Something may scare him into quitting (my daughter had a special Ah-Ha moment). It is never too late to get your life together. Ever. ((((Hugs)))) and sending you good wishes and crossing my fingers, eyes, and toes! [/QUOTE]
