Hi big sis :D welcome!

I am the mom of an addict who used for 12 years - he was arrested in December - which was his "bottom". He is 177 days clean & sober today :D

My parents are great people and want to believe that she is not doing drugs anymore.


To me... this makes perfect sense. What parent wants to think, much less ADMIT that their child is an addict????

In hindsight, I always KNEW, but never said the word ADDICT. It was our "dirty little secret". The day I actually said that word - my son is an ADDICT, it was like a weight was lifted.


Be patient with your parents...... educate them, state the facts and remind them that there are others in the exact situation that they are in -and- let them know that there is HOPE!


Wishing peace and comfort to you and your family.....
