Thank you. You may find it hard to believe but I have lived a fairly sheltered life and have never done drugs apart from the occasional alcohol binge and a few joints here and there. Oh and the cigarettes of course *blushes*. However, I have seen what drugs can do...to friends, clients and even family.
Being a mother, I have found it terrifying to watch my daughter grow up and to worry that she would get caught in the same trap. Fortunately she went the other way and is incredibly straight (other than the fact that she's gay ) and is a moral crusader (by that I don't mean she comes down on people who slip... I mean generally) I am incredibly fortunate.
Now I have a son and I worry about him. It's so easy to get into and so hard to get out of. I would support my children no matter what they do but I have seen the way drugs tear apart a family... how people change, become isolated or intensely attracted to the wrong kind of people and turn away from, or even on, their families.
It is brave of you to talk about your past Tiger and I wish you a glorious future, starting with wholeheartedly supporting your message.
Blessings.
