[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 714468, member: 1550"] I didnt mean addicts should even TRY to quit on their own, Kathy. I meant (hope this is a better explanation...I dont always communicate well ) that the personality of anyone fighting anything comes into play when overcoming a challenge. People who try hard do better...in everything, even addiction, do best, right? Having said that, drugs change a persons brain. Until any addict WANTS to change, he will not access his stregths. He or she will be in "drugged mind." But i think you are right that the drugs themselves often cause personality changes and that level of addiction matters. A lot! Thanks for correcting me. (Palm slaps forehead. Hard!) I dont think my own daughter was actually a strong addict. She quit too fast and easily. To this day, she can drink a few times a year and stop before getting drunk (in fact can stop at one beer) so she is at least not an alcoholic. So I think you are right.i never thought about the level of addiction before you just brought it up or if all drug misuse is always addiction. Maybe its not. And the drug of choice matters a lot. Benzos ARE deadly. Im glad your dear daughter is doing so well. She has shown her own strength and is a hero. Thanks for making me think. I agree with YOU, not myself in my last post! Me and my wayward mouth...really. [/QUOTE]
