I am a gratefully recovering drug addict and have almost a year clean from my drugs of choice (crank, coke, X, pot, etc.) Your husband and your son are not going to want to recover unless they want it. They may have to hit rock bottom before they decide that they want to recover. From my own personal experience, I knew I was hurting my parents but the thought of using drugs consumed my every thought. It consumed everything I did. This disease of addiction is powerful and at the center of it is self centeredness...Addicts are self centered, your son doesn't care if you found his pot and your husband will not care if he is hurting is family...Sad, yes, but it is the nature of our disease. Love and support are the two things that you need to provide your family members. Help them to get into a program like Narcotics Anonymous because it has done wonders for me. The NA program time and time again has saved my life. You will never be able to get someone to stop using until they have the desire...I hope that your son and husband will find their way into a program, find God, and be happy with life, like I am...

I have started a group called NARC (National Association of Recovering Citizens), this is a group that is aimed to educated children and adults on the issues of drug use, drugs in our society, and drugs throughout the world. This society is not affiliated with any other program (AA, NA, SA, etc) but operates as its own seperate entity. I am always looking for new members to help spread the message of NARC. I am currently working on setting up programs to talk to schools, institutions, work places so people can know my struggles with addiction and maybe it will help someone who is addicted see that recovery is indeed a new way of life. I would love for those who are interested to become a member of NARC and together we can build this and spread awareness of drug abuse and addiction.
