i kinda agree with marle on this one. When I was out there using I used to consider myself lucky because i had never gotten arrested selling or using drugs and never failed outta college or overdosed or got a disease from IV drug use or any of that.
But now that I think back on that, i feel like all that "luck" was what kept me shooting dope for so much longer. I think if I had gotten thrown out of college or arrested or any of that I would have woken up a lot sooner and done less damage to my mind.
Troubledone- never give up hope, some day she will be clean and this situation you find yourself in now will be nothing but an afterthought. Addicts get clean everyday, the sad thing is the media and people tend to only focus on the ones that do horrific things in addiction and keep on using, however there are many success stories out there. I hope your daughter(you didnt specify if that was who the addict was, i am only assuming it is) will be one of those stories
