[QUOTE="Rina, post: 654929, member: 18848"] My son's drug of choice is heroin, not meth (although I know he has tried that too) so my experience is not specific to that. However, I would like to say that I can relate to the way you feel when you ask yourself why is she doing this when she knows where it leads. I asked myself that so many times. It's not that they don't know the outcomes of drug use - they do. So why? I think I figured it out when I talked to a therapist a few days ago... they just don't care. Making themselves feel good is the most important thing, and if they have to make some sacrifices for that, they'll do it. They just don't care. There's nothing we can do but take care of ourselves, and hope. I remind myself every day that people DO recover. It drives me crazy to know that I can't make the decision for him, that he has to choose to stay clean on his own. But it is what it is. We've got nothing to do but hang in there, take care of ourselves and hope for the best. Take care. [/QUOTE]
