[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 552452, member: 1550"] Only one thing matters: The will of the person to quit. Nothing will help until the person is ready. Then, frankly, I believe most quit on their own, just like my daughter did. How did she quit? She DESPERATELY WANTED to quit and was motivated. A bell went off in her head when she happened to see an addict with track marks on her arms and she thought, "That's my future." She then quit without AA, without rehab, without a therapist, with nothing more than her fear of her future and the desire for a normal life. So I do agree with Suzir that probably the most common way to quit is for people to just have an enlightened moment and decide, "I'm going to do this." My daughter took meth and coke a lot, so I'm sure it wasn't easy for her to just quit. She tells us it was very hard, but she doesn't go into detail. All the rehabs, military camps, interventions, AA meetings, NA meetings, boot camps, survival camps etc. will do nothing until the person has recovery in his/her heart. Not that they are bad to try, but it is the mindset of the person whether he or she will quit and stay sober. So all programs and no programs work, depending on what the person himself/herself wants to do. A recovery is self-directed. Nobody can force it over the long term. JMO and experience. [/QUOTE]
