[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 495624"] I agree with Nancy, I think addiction comes much earlier and i think the real issue is often pscyhological addiction.... but it is also true physical addiction makes it even harder to quit and is its own additional master over the person. I think the point of physical addiction comes at different points for different drugs. So I don't know if you ever get really physically addicted to marijuana.... although clearly serious psychological addiction to pot happens as many of us can attest to. Certainly physical addiction happens with alcohol but I think it takes a lot of heavy drinking over time to become really physically addicted and that may be where the thought came about it being to the point of liver damage. I have no idea. And then you have drugs like heroin and meth which are highly physically addictive and it doesn't take long to get addicted to those drugs... and that makes them incredibly scary. Certainly there are serious physical side effects to the body from use of those drugs.... don't think you meet very many 80 year old heroin users. I had another thought today...I have not heard from difficult child today which means he has come up with some plan for himself which is what he needs to do. However I wondered today if he contacted the girl who came to visit.. and is getting a ride back up here. I don't think he would tell us if he was coming back here until he was here and needed something. Oh well there is nothing I can do.... I need the serenity to accept the things I cannot change....
