[QUOTE="busywend, post: 29467, member: 391"] Many times drugs and alcohol are used to mask the pain a person is feeling when things are out of control in their head. I believe an ADHD or BiPolar (BP) person would tend to become an addict because they use drugs to numb themselves to their hard lives. You have said you have a history of it in your family - I am willing to bet there is a mental health issue running reampant that nobody has been diagnosed with because of the focus being on the drug or alcohol problem. He could have depression, anxiety, ADHD, etc. Tell us a bit about what he did in school. Was he a good student - ever? What did he get in trouble for? [/QUOTE]
