[quote=Anonymous]My brother just turned 50 and is a recovering heroine addict. He started smoking pot as a teen, got hooked on prescription painkillers and eventually took up heroine on and off for decades. (During the off times it was back to pot + painkillers, I imagine.) He would work long enough to get a paycheck and then go drug out. Repeat for decades. The only times he didn't use was when he was in jail and even that was debatable. He finally went downstate for 4 years and came out into a drug rehab program. He eventually moved back in with my parents and he's still there and still clean, in fact he leads NA meetings now. (Parents let him rent their basement apartment dirt cheap--he still has $$ issues due to child support.) My parents (& grandparents) enabled him for years, but he was a master liar. I hated his guts for a long time and couldn't get my mom to see the light. So far so good. I hope your family member comes around sooner rather than later. [/quote]
