welcome leonyo - My DOC was alcohol, but I remember how my parents reacted when they found out about some pot and alcohol for the first time (I think I was 19). They were quite upset and I got several "talks" and restrictions too. I didn't wreck my car though or end up in the hospital, so I can't imagine how that would feel to a parent.

I can also see it from the other side now, though (I have 3 children and the youngest is 18). If that happened to my daughter, I would be scared to death and do anything I could to keep it from happening again.

Since you're still under their roof, it's a little hard to do your own thing..... if you show them you're really serious about being clean/sober and you work to get out on your own and support yourself, you'll be able to live your life the way you'd like.

I'm just glad you made it through - you know, next time you might not be so lucky, huh?
