[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 507526"] Nancy, I am with you in being discouraged!! And it is so disheartening to see people with so much talent and success be overcome and destroyed by addiction. I havent heard the cause of death yet but I am guessing it is drug related, if not directly then indirectly. So I also feel discouraged but I know there is still hope even if I don't really feel it at the moment. Through my job I have met and gotten to know well several women who are recovering addicts... and they were very serious addicts... heroin and crack etc. They inspire me because I see how far they have come and know it is possible and that people do do it.... however they had to get to a place where they really wanted it. I definitely don't think my difficult child is anywhere close to really wanting it for himself yet. My fear of course is he will never get there. My hope is that given he is young that he will get there sooner rather than later. And that book "Everything Changes" had some good examples in there too.... so there is hope even if neither us feel very hopeful at the moment. Hugs, TL [/QUOTE]
