I agree it kills the mind. I don't know what point it is they come to that makes the change.
My son is 18 and to my knowledge he used for less than a yr. He still seems to have the same mind set.
My friend is almost 40, she has used on and off for the last ten yrs. Her mind has been altered. She can not hold the same conversations that she was once capable of.
She is also not capable of setting goals and reaching them.
She has made the statement that addicts think they don't deserve a good life. I took that to mean from all the pain they have caused others. Of course with the me,me,me attitude I am not sure that would be the reason.
Maybe it is just too much trouble to start all over again. She had worked so hard so many years to get where she was in life and it has all escaped her. Maybe the easiest thing to do is to continue not worrying about anything and stay high
