What an irony...

I drive past a place that sells detox stuff to cheat on drug tests when I see my psych doc. The other day I noticed their window said "DETOX" and beside that said "Drug test kits 2 for $10." How ironic.

I find it sad that they cater to opposite sides so to speak. I well remember my EXAH beating all his UA's while we were together and he was on parole.

I also think about all the loved ones trying to "police" their addicts by drug testing.

Supply and demand, and obviously there is demand for such a store.

I just find it incredibly sad, and another result of the disease of addiction.

some are cops, others are criminals, others still are just whichever pays the most that day

Just prove the extent that the A will take to keep using.

Dosen't mean they all work. But they will sell anything to make money.

It's sad but we live in a free country. I don't think there is anything we can do about it.

It makes my teeth hurt that anyone can find profit in our (and our addict's) heartache.

I found the best drug test to be a combination of my instinct and my son's "actions". They told me everything I needed to know.

It is a vicious and sad cycle and such a waste of more being thrown away to feed the cycle!

It's very sad. I can only answer from my own past. I know I was part of the supply program for many years. I had every excuse as to why what I was doing was ok. Hell I had myself believing I was doing a service because of my quality. Truthfully I was just another addict, with the usual load of excuses. I carry a serious burden of guilt for the lives I KNOW I've impacted. If I could extend an apology to each I would. There's hope for everyone.

Actually, it's right next door to one, seriously.
