You nailed it, Anvilhead.
Regrdless of drugs, there comes a time for every adult child to leave the nest.
And with drugs, especially when it too easy to not stand one one's own feet, "peep-peep" tends to turn into quack-quack.
A sober living enviornment is an excellent transition and it's up to the chick to decide where it leads.
