What Does This Quote Mean to You ?
Question by Bobbi_boo: what does this quote mean to you ?
Reflection Quote: Alan I. Leshner, Director of the National Institute of Drug Abuse, defines drug addiction as:
“Drug addiction is uncontrollable, compulsive drug seeking and use, even in the face of negative health and social consequences.”
Merriam-Webster defines uncontrollable as being free from control by a superior authority. It also defines a compulsion as an irresistible, persistent impulse or obsession.

What Are Signs of Drug Abuse in a Person?
Question by Samantha: What are signs of drug abuse in a person?
My hubby used to use cocaine years before we met. He was clean when I met him. That was 9 years ago. Lately (the past year) I have noticed these things: he is never home. He will always be somewhere but home. He is out all night long. He never seems to have to sleep. He’ll work a 10 hr workday then say he is tired but after going out for a “beer” he is all of a sudden all wound up and stays out all night for days on end! He is moody and flies off the handle at any little thing. He looks funny in the eyes. Almost glazed over at times and he curls his hands up sometimes when he seems to be doped or drunk or whatever? Please help me if you know if this is drinking or drugs again? How can I approch this??

I just don’t understand why people bother to have children if they don’t want to have the responsibility. Some people spend years trying to get pregnant and still cant conceive, they want so badly to be parents and yet you get people like this who treat children as if they were unwanted toys. I’m just glad that the children got taken away, I wish it would’ve happened sooner. I hope that they don’t suffer long term effects both mentally and physically – the parents should be shot
