[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 601686, member: 1550"] I feel for you and I"m sorry. I don't know if my story has any relevance to yours because my daughter quit at a young age, but she was 12 when she started. It blew my mind when she told me this which was not until she was clean. It happens at 12 now. Started with pot and booze and escalated all the way to meth and heroin (at least she TRIED heroin...I always thought if you did heroin once, you were addicted forever. Apparently not). She moved out of state at nineteen and pretty much quit everything, even cigarettes, on her own. She is now 29 and once in a while she will drink, but still doesn't even smoke cigarettes, is into natural remedies, and is living a productive life with her SO of many years. There is always hope, when there is life. The real factor in kicking drugs is desire to do so because it isn't easy and you still crave the drug (have had long talks with my daughter). Now Daughter has a really strong inner core and a stubbornness to do what she needs to do in all areas of life. I'm sure that helped her. But, as told, she was on some seriously dangerous stuff. She looked like a skeleton. I thought she was going to end up in jail or dead. [/QUOTE]
