[QUOTE="WiseChoices, post: 750771, member: 24254"] Pot and/or alcohol are not the problem .It is the answer to how untreated alcoholics/addicts feel inside .My son will tell me how "pot saved his life" . How he was depressed and pot made him feel better. It's self medicating .And it works - for a while. Eventually, drugs and alcohol stop working and become the Master of the person . The problem is not the substance but the relationship of the person to themselves .It is how they feel about themselves, their cognitive distortions, and their feelings which run the show. It is self will run riot. When we "help" , ie enable and when we accept abuse, we take away the consequences of their choices . So we prolong and contribute to the problem. We didn't cause it, cant control it, and can't cure it, but we can contribute to it. [/QUOTE]
