Prescription Drug Abuse… Why?
Question by Ryan: Prescription Drug Abuse… why?
[rewrite]I just took 16mg of klonopin because I think my life sucks, but I make my life the way it is. So why is it that people like me think they can solve their problems with prescription drugs because in the end, a drug is like a crutch it helps you get around and the more you use it, the harder it is to walk without it, then when the crutch breaks, you are struggling to move until you get a new crutch. Sorry, I’m ranting. I know the dangers of the drugs I use, I know the benifits of the drugs I use, but in the end it is just not worth it, but i still do it. Why?

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?
[rewrite]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? 🙁
