hi all. to me it was personal crusade.
my son was a cocaine addict.
and it was heart braking to see him waste himself.
at the time the bikie gangs were peddling,
all sorts of stuff.
and he was mixed up with them.
at that time his mum and i had seperated
so i felt that was the problem.
so went about patching it up with him.
he is now not on them.
that dosent mean he is drug free
he could start up any time.
.and there are plenty of sources to get them.
i was working at the city mission as a volinteer
and i sat in on the drug related sessions
the director new my son that is why i joined.
i trained as a counciler
for 6-7 months
and tho i wasent a fully trained counciler

i learned to look for the sign of recovery if any
for many addicts the reason they take to drugs
are many and varried
abuse. sexual abuse.family problems
heaos of reasons
in my case marriage seperation.
there is always a reason in 96 percent of the cases
and pushers take advantage of this
of course those drugs are.
long past the it drug now is P
so you can understand why i voted yes in the poll
because it affected me personally
before that i was a pacifist
so personal reasons governs our
discisions
this is a good discussion
because we are talking about
it. and not trying to hide it under the carpet
yes it is healthy to talk
