When did everyone around me start using?
I just joined this site tonight. It feels like I am in a foreign land...like everything has been turned upside down.
I have a son, a sister-in-law and a best friend all using some substance to "cope" with life.
My son is smoking marijuana to "keep from being so angry and stressed"
My sister in law wont admit to smoking Meth...but people have told me she is and she definately has signs (I am learning what they are by searching the web). I have her daughter 80 percent of the time and am afraid to let my daughter go over their house any longer.
My best friend has always been what she calls a "binge drinker" and thru out our long friendship has times where she falls off the wagon and drinks for days on end and then sobers up. She has recently changed her MO and has left home for weeks and returned and now left again...staying with "friends" she has met out drinking. She is like another person and I don't know what to make of it.
I don't want to be an enabaler...but I am lost. Where do I start?
