RE: Freedom of Personal Power - Day 357 : 5 Minute Freewrite
I am glad that your son's friend is doing well. My daughter's friend is off heroin too - but addiction is so hard!!
I don't watch much TV and certainly can't stand shows that make the big business of drug sales glamourous - including most pharmaceuticals.
the scariest thing is how many "nice" kids from "normal" homes get addicted, and how many lives are ruined as a result. Too many of our son's high school classmates ended up in rehab, but luckily for them, they had parents with the resources to get help for them. It's incredibly expensive and time consuming, and if these kids could have had a crystal ball of what lay ahead for them after the first hit of whatever drug - but kids are immortal. (And I see now that I mixed up "your daughter's friend" vs "your friend's daughter" -- details! They matter!).
You'd never guess my minor was journalism and "Verify, verify, verify" was our mantra. That was before computers and internet and reams, reams, reams of words coming down the pike.(Excuse, excuses, excuses!)
I agree with you that it is so scary how many kids get into that crap. And it is available in grade schools. It feels so overwhelming.
And your statement was correct 😄 She is my friend's daughter as well as my daughter's friend. All good!
