We try to prevent that where I work.
Thanks. I do believe that sometimes we have to learn things the "hard way" -- but when you lose your life over it, something is very very wrong.... |

I'm sorry for ya Lex it really sucks I wish people were wiser and stronger when it comes to that ---- . Thanks. I do believe that sometimes we have to learn things the "hard way" -- but when you lose your life over it, something is very very wrong.... Yes there is, and I think that is what I am struggling with, is was it worth it in the long run? We know the answer to that question, but we will never get it from him. ![]() |

A lot of other things but no drugs.
My only addiction is ... dare I say... WWE Wrestling & Music. I can't get enough of either at times. ![]() |

I have never done drugs, but I just lost a good friend of mine to his drug addiction. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I had a cousin that was heavy into different drugs and she died from an overdose about 4 years ago (meth) and one of my best friends was doing meth for a while and I could just see it eating her away. It was terrible, but she's not doing it anymore. I smoke pot, and I really don't consider that a drug..because I can fully control myself and mainly because it's natural. Im sorry to hear about your loss .. it's hard to help people when they dont think they have a problem or want to change. |

I just dont understand how you can throw everything away for drugs. I have other friends that are hooked and they have lost everything, it is just so sad. If the wiring in their brain hadn't been changed from drugs, they wouldn't have thrown everything away. ![]() |

The one drug that controlled me was nicotine. Some ppl don't look at it as a drug but it is. I quit smoking 3 months ago and I just keep taking it one day at a time with no cigarettes. |

It is very hard to explain to someone who is not an addict. Think of it like an allergy, say poison ivy once you start scratching you can't stop. |
