[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 633625, member: 14557"] Yes, not all addicts quit, though most seem to quit (either on their own (apparently the bigger part) or with help of all kinds of treatment programs.) And unfortunately some die. And of course not all quit at the same age, for example my dad was hard core alcoholic and often times addicted to drugs till he came to his fifties. Went through several treatment programs with not much help, several detoxes, deliriums and all that, even couple amphetamine psychosis and now after all that he has been a lowish risk alcohol drinker well over a decade. But it really took him much longer to get there than for the most, it seems, and he was lucky to have a working liver at that time. And yes, unfortunately I too know people several who have died because of alcohol or bentsoes and even couple who have died because of other drugs. But I find it extremely hopeful that according the stats most do recover even if not all. And even though in the time they do recover, many have their lives in the bad shape already, which of course is bad. And of course these are stats from USA and one can not be sure, if same is true also for example in Europe, but most being from USA in this board, it may be a great thing to know, that most of your young addicts do recover. And I do hope and believe that same is likely true also here across the bond. [/QUOTE]
