I would love to hear your thoughts. Coming from a former user provides valuable insight, although everyones path is different, I think there are commonalities. It is good to hear from those who have overcome addiction.

My son told me I just don't understand why he can't quit using. I believe the mind is a poweful thing, if you truly want to quit you can. Maybe I'm wrong and I don't understand. I look forward to your thoughts.
