My son takes subs, and in comparison to what his life was before taking the subs, I have to say they have saved his life. Would I prefer he take nothing? Oh yes! But it's none of my business how he chooses to try and improve his life. Subs gave him the ability to make clearer decisions rather than ones made while either high or in withdrawals ( neither of those being a stable frame of mind)
I'd also prefer he invest himself in a recovery program...but that hasn't occurred either.
Maybe it's different from a parent's view? I just want my son to be able to live a productive life without the insanity of drugs and their effects, and subs allows for that. I'm not sure how I would feel if I was committed/committing to sharing a life with someone dependent on a maintanence drug.
Just my thoughts...
