[QUOTE="Ellenm0m, post: 449639, member: 12491"] Okay, finally something I can actually weigh in on....I am a drug addict, and my drug of choice was Meth...I have been clean for 16 years last may. I was an occassional user, in that I only used on weekends and only when i was with my friends..never used at home or by myself. I used for 4 years and never went beyond that "weekend user" phase, although I watched boyfriend at time and a couple of friends go well beyond that. Paraphernalia (sorry about my spelling)...I used an old compact that had a mirror, took the powder out and kept my baggie and my razor blade in it, and when mom looked through my stuff, she thought it was just makeup - she never found it. I actually quit when I saw a friend of mine OD, it scared the **** out of me......1 years later I quit smoking and drinking (I found out I was pregnant with difficult child). My mom never had to bail me out of jail, and I never got kicked out. Not sure if my using was only because I wanted to get along with my friends (whichin retrospect were not good friends) because I do not recall it being a happy time in my life. Also, now I have horrible tooth problems because of the meth - I am 39 and am scheduling appointments for all my teeth to be removed and dentures fitted because they are breaking and cracking and hurt all of the time! If I only knew then what i know now, right?? Anyway, from an addict to a mom...you may have to do a more in depth checkof stuff to find paraphernalia, and it may be soemthing she keeps in her purse all of the time..my compact was very easy to hide. Oh, and check any removable mirrors near her room for powder around the edges where the wood meets the glass....just remembered that one. [/QUOTE]
