In my experience with drug addicts, the help begins and ends with the addict. They have to have that want to stop for themselves. No one else can do that for them. Rehab only gives them advise, hints and tricks, and therapy to not do it. But by the end of the day, it is still the addict's choice to stop.
I have zero sympathy for drug addicts. They chose that path. Not the answer you probably want to hear but I believe in complete honesty and telling it like it is.
Having said this, I believe in the legalisation of cannabis. But only cannabis.
I worked for a couple of years in a drug and alcohol recovery unit
I had a friend that loved taking over the counter laxative medicines. I thought that was.....odd?Not necessarily for everyone, one example is people who are severely injured and in chronic pain get hooked on opioids against their will because that's what their doctors prescribed them.![]()

...how did you know about it? Doesn't seem like something someone would share with others. Lol
His best friend told me.
Not to mention he always joked about me and him doing a laxative challenge.
He carried lax pills around in his pocket along with a bottle of lube...whatever that was for?
I had a boyfriend who was a recovering alcoholic and drug addict. He used to attend the unit for support and I got interested in the whole issue of addiction.That's interesting (and noble). What made you want to get into that line of work?

Trust me, some of the life stories of those people are beyond terrible and I believe if I had to live their lives it's very possible I could have become an addict as well.
