Quote From: milehidawni'm not quite sure you have ever dealt with too many people that are seriously addicted, because if you had you would know that you can not force an addict to be "made clean". i just watched my son go back into court yesterday, fail yet another u.a., and go off once again in handcuffs. this judge says "go to rehab". he's been to rehab on three other occasions. will this time work? probably not. why? because he is not ready. i know this because he has been using and in the court system and in jails for now 8 years. he's almost 21. i agree with you that all drugs should be destroyed, but that is not the answer either. most of what is in the drugs my son is using are household items. this is not intended to make you angry at me for what i have to say, but i know quite alot about this epidemic. courts ordering people into rehabs is a complete waste of time, all it is doing is generating revenue to those rehabs. you have to want to quit. right now, like so many, he is not ready. he may never be ready. i have resigned myself to the possibility that i may have to bury my son.
again, this is not intended to upset anyone, but you cannot make a person clean.
BUT: there is times that when someone gets envolved it
does help. The girls did say often they did not want to
keep living that way? Not helping at this point means
a sure death soon?
I am very sorry about your Son, I don't think you said
anything anyone should be angry about. There is a time to
stand up and take action over those hurting themself.
If it's kicking them out, stop listening to excuses or
calling the police on them, which is worse?
Forcing something or doing nothing? One can end up with
death other a chance no matter how slim it is?
