Hi Bryan, Sorry that you found finding treatment so frustrating. I'm glad that you did find someone to give you support in dealing with your situation. Most people have no understanding of the addictive nature of marijuana and it was just recently proven to cause withdrawl symptoms. It is still a big debate for people. I do know that it is psychologically addictive and may be physically addictive as well. Especially for the people that have smoked it for many years. I'm sorry you grew up in a home of marijuana smokers and that you started at such a young age. There couldn't have been very much supervision in the home. My mom was an alcoholic and my older brothers addicts - alcoholics. It was a very dysfunctional place to grow up!!!  I always told myself that I would never be like them and ended up there anyways. I am working on breaking the cycle with my own family. I have 6 kids and do not want them to suffer with addiction in any way! Ive been in recovery for many years! It saved my life! I'm glad to see that you are breaking the cycle in your family. When you do get married and have a family of your own, they will not have to endure the pain of addiction! I'm proud of you for that! It seems as if you have been doing work and gaining knowledge of marijuana and addiction. Thank you for being here and sharing that with others!! It is so helpful to have others point of views and experiences shared with the group members. Thank you for sharing yours! I hope that you are having a great day! Your Friend, Chris Your Friend, Chris |
