Hi there Kaustoner.
What a sad situation, when you care for an addict. You want to help, but they want to use. They may say differently, but unless they are asking for help, they want to use.
She says she does not think its too bad to use occasionally, which translates to "I am not ready to quit drugs". She may make it seem that she might cut back, but not quit. If she does not see the dangers yet, you cannot make her see them.
stick around, and read all the stories here , about the same sort of situation. It might help you to clear your mind a bit, so you can make the best choices for YOU. Hooking up with an active addict can only bring your life down, and ruin your health in a lot of ways.. especially if you try drugs with her. that would only hurt you, your family, and enable your addict to feel supported in her use.
your poor mom does not need to see another son hurt by drugs. take care of yourself.
