[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 644923, member: 1550"] Late to this party, but, Nancy, you hit on something that intrigues me. My daughter can drink. She doesn't do it much, maybe three times a year, but she can drink and not get drunk or keep drinking. Now alcohol wasn't her drug of choice and I don't know if she could do Meth "sometimes" and I hope I never have to find out. But she most definitely can drink and put it behind her. I know my daughter did drugs because she was shy, had no friends, and was sexually assaulted once so she felt like dirt. The drugs gave her an accepting group of "friends." She did not have to have lunch alone in the cafeteria. She had boyfriends. She was a social star amongst the drug abusers. Without drugs, even now, she is very shy and sensitive. However, she is long out of school and not as shy now and has resolved not to be a victim of her past. She does not have any reason to use drugs now. She quit rather quickly once she got away from her drug friends. Made me wonder if she was ever really addicted, yet she said she had withdrawals... Toughlovin', if you see progress I say bravo for everyone. I am glad things are better and hope they stay better and improve year by year. [/QUOTE]
