[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 673115, member: 1550"] Not unless she backs it up with actions. My daughter told me this many times before she really quit. Words are cheap actions are everything. Is she dropping her drug friends? All of them? That is your biggest clue. Thats the first thing my daughter did,,,leave the state to a relative and cut all ties to drug friends and did not have friends in her new state until she met her boyfriend. My saughter got a job. She had to walk.to and ftom even on chicagos cold westher. She dif it. She difnt ask us for money or anything else. Shr did not.get onto lehsl trouble. My dsughtet quit without rehab but many people need rehab. Will your daughter go and work hard at it? It is hard to quit any substance. Thr person has to be willing to change his entire life. It can be done with dedication, willingness and hard work. Words mean nothing. The hard part is detoxing and learning to live a straight adult life. I would not take her seriously unless she proves her words. She will likely need a lot of professional help to stop. She will need new friends and a new attitude. Only you can watch and see if she means ut or offer rehab and see if she will go and how she does there. Hugs for your hurting heart. Keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
