I have to agree. I dislike seeing people put into jail for using drugs. Especially something like marijuana (which will be legal very soon). If a person does have a bad drug problem then they should be given help/rehab. Not put in jail..
Anyone Who Has Dealt With or Been Effected by Drug Addiction, Will You Please Answer?
Question by ddti: Anyone Who Has Dealt With or Been Effected By Drug Addiction, will you please answer?
I’ll spare you most of the details and get to the question. Brother: Addict, has lost EVERYTHING!! form job, car even 1 week old new born son & girlfriend, who left yesterday!! All because he chooses his addiction over anything & anyone. My question is: Do we leave him at his house (of which is getting evicted of in 3 days) to just let reality hit & Him as an ADULT figure out what he’s going to do?? Or is that wrong should we STILL be trying to be there convincing him to go to rehab. He has been to 4 rehabs and doesn’t seem to WANT help at this point, though I am sure that is the addict talking or thinking, not the TRUE person underneath. ADVICE? 🙁

My friend called me after spending a week and a half in a drug treatment center and he tells me that he is out for the weekend. He says they gave him a ‘Weekend Pass’ for having a month of sobriety, when I know for sure that he was using right before he left for the center… Trust him???

I’m a recovered alcoholic who went into a drug/alcohol rehab centre in 2006, first of all alcoholics and drug addicts are the world’s best liars, and I think it’s extremely unlikely.
