[QUOTE="pinevalley, post: 524854, member: 3710"] Welcome to this community! As you see from the responses here, there are many parents who truly understand what you are going through right now. I found this site late one night when I was desperate to find help for my son. That was a few years ago, and I am constantly amazed at the wisdom and thoughtful advice that is given by the many other parents on this board. Just keep posting and reading the comments. You will learn a lot just from reading the responses from many of the posts. It is OK to be upset and in shock about your daughter's substance abuse. I'm sure that you never thought in a million years that your daughter would choose to use drugs. You still have time to help your difficult child, and there is always hope. That is the good news. It is really good that you are determined to do whatever is necessary to help your difficult child. You are already doing so well now, because you are not in denial that your difficult child could ever use drugs. My son also starting using pot and smoking cigarettes when he was in high school. My h and I did not let our difficult child smoke cigarettes in our house, and we were constantly nagging him to give up such a nasty habit. However we finally realized that all our nagging about the cigarettes was doing no good at all, and so we decided not to fight with him about this habit. By this time we were much more worried about the drug use, and his cigarette smoking was not as serious as the illegal drug use. Unfortunately my difficult child started using drugs every day and then he started stealing to support his habit. He was arrested recently, and he is now is jail for theft. He is learning the hard way that getting arrested and going to jail is one of the consequences of using illegal drugs. I am sending you good wishes for strength in this battle of substance abuse with your daughter. HUGS... [/QUOTE]
