[QUOTE="saving grace, post: 82699, member: 1538"] Big Bad and Karen said exactly what I was going to say after reading your post. I believe that it is the individuals choice to start in the first place but that becoming and addict is not by choice. Its a disease just like any other. Treatment and recovery is hard work and unfortunately most with addictions are weak and have low self image and other mental health issues as well and its seems easier to them to drink and drug than to go through the hard work to stop. I think Ant has given up. Period. I do not believe in rock bottom, I believe that anyone can start recovery when they get to that place in their heart that they cant stand it anymore. Some just wake up one day and thats it, they stop, some go to prison, some lose family some die. I pray for Ant, I pray for you. I am so very sorry for your loss, 31 is so so young. Addiction is not a choice. Shame on your nephew for thinking so. Grace [/QUOTE]
