[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 235614, member: 1550"] Heh. Well, our country is clearly inferior to Denmark. Moving on, we DID have a relative to send my daughter to and we did it and it helped because she could dump her old crowd who was pressuring her. HOWEVER it only worked because she was ready to quit and was NOT good with peer pressure. If she had wanted to, she could have sought out a similar crowd in her new town. It is everywhere. She chose not to do so. As soon as the pressure was off, she started to get her life together, but it wasn't easy living with her straight-arrow brother who would have tossed her in the street if she so much as lit up a cigarette (I am proud to say she also quit ciggies...yaaaaaay!). She got a two bit job and walked to work, because s he had lost her license after banging up her car. She did chores for her brother--she had no choice. She reconnected with old and better friends that she knew when she lived in Illinois the first time, but she was lonely at first. It is not easy to quit. She had to cut out both any drugs and drinking, and she did it, but she used to call me and cry about her lonliness. She was used to using alcohol and drugs to help her over her shyness. It is up to the child/adult when he is ready to quit. All we can do is work with the options available to us and hope that something clicks. ((((Hugs)))). I know this is so hard. [/QUOTE]
