My 18 year old, senior in high school admitted to smoking weed "a few times". She came in my room this week crying to tell me she smoked one hit and got really scared seeing things and her neck was moving involuntarily. She asked me to pray for her, which is weird, as she decided 2 years ago that she wasn't sure there was a God.
She has always had super high anxiety, but has learned to control it through meditation, support from friends and self care. I allowed her to stay home from school the next day. I didn't see any neck movement but she said it hurt. I grounded her, took away her car (except to get her to school and back), told her she will be drug tested weekly and couldn't see her friends and am making her stay home.
I appreciate that she came to me. I did pray with her and read the Bible to her until she fell asleep in my bed. I am hoping she learned her lesson and we don't have to experience another child on drugs. She is a lot different than her 1/2 brother "J", so there is hope. She makes straight A's and is talented and kind. Please say prayers or send good thoughts for her and that I don't lose her to this ugly thing called addiction.
