[QUOTE="rebelson, post: 692424, member: 19966"] Sounds similar to my son who almost 24. He started in middle school with the weed and alcohol. In HS it went on to xanax, more alcohol...who knows what else. I'd be afraid to know. Same disrespectful attitude too, I guess that often goes along with the drug use. Now that he's been sober (today day 90:smile:), he's been much different. Nice, even. Ha. I have recently told him 'you've been high for almost 10yrs, you need to stay sober and find out [I]who you really [/I]are and [I]what you want for your life[/I]!' I have suspected for several years now that he suffers from some type of (social) anxiety, which I think he tries to self-medicate. In the process, he became an addict. Since he's been sober, I am seeing with more clarity than ever, that he does indeed have anxiety. Though he hides it VERY well...you'd never know by speaking/interacting with him. I'm sorry you had to find CD. PS by reading our signature lines, many of us have down there, a brief description of 'our' addict. [/QUOTE]
