Coping With Drug Addiction In Your Family
By Jordi Shoman
Drug Addiction doesn’t happen overnight for the person abusing the drug. Often, families never see
it coming. When someone you love begins their long journey down the road of drug addiction, it is a
path that seems to have more twists and turns than a rollercoaster. The ups and downs occur every
day and seem to be never ending. As a family, you start to doubt anything the family member has ever
told you. If anything in your home was ever missing, you suspect they took it. If they go to the
bathroom, you think they are doing drugs. There is absolutely no trust whatsoever and you begin to
fear there never will be.
You talk to people about help and they tell you of another 12 step program support system or of
something they know nothing about. You thank them smile and never hear a word they say because
you are more concerned with where the family member is right at this very moment and you are
wondering what they are doing or if they are even alive.
Young people are not just smoking pot anymore.
They are huffing, snorting, smoking drugs that you have never heard of and they don’t plan to give it
up. If they get caught, they’re sorry, but they will look you in the eye and tell you they’re sorry. After that
they will be even more careful to avoid being caught.
These drugs allow the people on them an amazing level of self-confidence with authoritative people in
their lives. They are going to do drugs and with the slack laws, well there is nothing you can do about
it.
