This is a real story. My cousin is doing drugs and her mom and dad found out. She hasn't been going to school and she hasn't been in a good behavior. One day she was walking home from school and her mom was in the door way upset and my cousin took a glass and hit her mom with it and her mom had to be rushed to the hospital. Then a week went by and she did it again but this time it left a scar on the moms face and she almost died. Then the cops came and told her your going to be sent away and now shes going to be sent away for Christmas into a reform school and now my cousin wanted to committed suicide so it would be all over with the drugs and that was the end I never saw her ever again I only heard the bad news and nothing else.
May I suggest that you contact both Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous. You will be able to obtain copies of The News (which is released every month in AA). The News is written by people recovering from their addiction. What some of society don't understand is that addiction is a disease. Just like diabetes, you need to have insulin. Well with recovering alcoholics, our treatment is abstinence from any mind altering substance. These diseases run in families, some people are born alcoholics or drug addicts. It was not within their own personal power to stop drinking. They can't do it alone without working a program. Both fellowships are based on 12 step programs. So the recovering person has alot of work to do. The work is never finished. The day that it is finished, is when they die (hopefully sober and drug free).

It would also be helpful to attend the meetings of AA and NA, to sit in as an observer. You will hear the personal stories being told by the person in recovery. There are also fellowships called Alanon (for the partner of the person with the disease). Alateen (for the teenage children of the person recovering from the disease.

To start to recover from these diseases, you have to hit what is called a rock bottom. And everyone's rock bottom is different. Some people have already lost their spouse, children, home, job, car and have nothing else left to lose except their life. The programs work for only one day at a time, I won't pick up a drink/drug. just for one day. Some days when they are faced with difficult decisions or problems, they break it down to smaller more manageable parts. Just for 5 minutes I won't think about or or pick up a drug/drink. They are always only an arms length away from picking up a drink or taking a drug for the rest of their lives.

And it takes what it takes for the individual to reach their own personal; rock bottom. Some people come into the fellowships and haven't lost anything other than their own self respect.

The fellowships have meetings 7 days a week, every day of the year. And the members are there for each other 24 hours a day. There are books on Alcoholism (The Big Book). And in Narcotics Anonymous (I don't know what that book is called though). They can be purchased from both fellowships (I don't know if they are available at the library though). But you could try telephoning both fellowships and asking them if they could possibly let you borrow The Big Book.

I do hope that this information was useful to you.
Take a drive to the homeless shelter. You will probably find people there who got addicted and lost everything. It is sobering.
