[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 463553, member: 84"] Sad, yes. I guess the only way to figure out which came first is to know exactly when the drug use came into play vs when her symptoms of "mental" issues appeared. Addiction mimicks mental illness symptom wise to a scary degree. I say "scary" because if they're being medicated for "mental" issues and it's addiction......then how much are you feeding into the addiction and making it worse? It's awful but the vast majority of addicts have figured out to play the mental health system to fund their addiction. If the medications they get they don't want, they simply sell them for the ones they do want. BFF did this for years. If rehab is not her idea, I'd keep that 700.00 in my pocket. Or go out and buy something nice for myself with it. Because if she's not hit bottom, and it doesn't sound like she has quite yet, you're just throwing it away. I know that hoovers to hear, but it's just the simple truth. Hugs [/QUOTE]
