I ran into someone at a meeting today and had a disaagrentment with her regarding her thoughts about how she was “helping” her child through addiction. From what she described, this help seemed almost non-existent. She thought that ignoring the issue was her way of not enabling the situation and just as her mom did to her while she was young, it was for her daughter to find our later as an adult that drug use is a “bad thing”. That is a quote. Disgusting isn’t it? The rest of the details of the conversation don’t matter. However, let me tell you what does.
One of the best reasons to get a help for teens while they are still teenagers, beyond being a very formidable time in a child’s life, is the consequences of inaction upon future generations. Statistics have shown that instances of teen drug addiction run in long chains from parents to children. This is why now is the time to either break the chain of teen drug addiction or stop it from forming. No amount of hard work, money, sacrifice is worth more than breaking a chain of substance abuse or preventing one from forming.
Break that chain now!
