Melissa said: Yeah, I agree with you guys.  But his friend ended up calling him recently to apologize and that he still wants to be friends with him.  I think that when someone decides to give up drugs/alcohol, that it's really important to pull your closest friends even closer to you because it's going to be a long process.  Your friends know you best and they'll know when you're going though a depression or wanting to use and that's when you'll need them the most.

Adrian said: My mom is going through a similar situation with my brother.  He's 20 years old and just recently quit smoking pot, like 2 days ago.  Even though he promised her that he would give up his habit, he kept smoking... the promise was made over a year ago.  And she just found out that he's failing all of his classes in college.  He has a scholarship and he's failed a lot of the classes he took.  So now he's thinking about starting over at a junior college and giving up his scholarship.  I can tell that shes feeling so overwhelmed right now but she basically told him that if he doesn't start passing his classes, then he'll have to move out and find a job.  I'm not really sure what to tell her either to make her feel better. 

Nacho said: 14 MILLION are addicted to alcohol, that's so much!  I've been around alcoholics my entire life and it's caused a lot of misery in my family.  If there's 14 million people that are addicted to alcohol, then there's at least 28 million people affected by alcohol addiction.  It's so sad how someone can just give up on life just to be drunk, their entire lives are centered around alcohol, not their kids, or their spouses, or jobs, but alcohol!

Melissa said: Pain is only weakness leaving the body.  I think the hardest part is telling friends and sometimes family that you're not going to do drugs and alcohol anymore.  And turning away free drugs/alcohol is a hard thing to do for sure. 

Mrs.Ugly said: I was in psychology and we watched this video and I guess they made this machine that scans people as they walk by. If people are hiding something they are usually scared, and the blood rushes to their face. Also when people lie the blood rushes to their face, this machine can see all that. And basically can point out all the suspicious people. I think if that was there it would have caught this man right away and all the other people who have smuggled drugs.This would be a very good machine to have in airports.

mrsmtdew said: Oh dear! SHOES! I used to have a major problem with shoes! When I was single I had over 300 pair of shoes. I would buy them no matter if I loved them or if they were just a good bargain. I have gotten that urge under control now and I currently own 10 pair of shoes which is my MAX number allowed. I have 2 pairs of boots, one lace up one pull on (Justin Gypsy are my fav pull on ) One pair Nike, One pair KSwiss, 2 pair dressy shoes, 2 pair sandals and 2 pair flip flops. I'm so glad that addiction is under control! Now if I can conquer the DEW!

Melissa said: A lot of my friends have hookas at their houses (for personal use) and we'll all get together and smoke up.  Now I'm wondering whether or not they clean their hookas regularly.  But I think they would know if there was TB in it right?  Because they'd be sick too.  Is TB a bacteria, like how does it get in there?
