I ran rampant over others feelings for a long time thinking they needed to hear MY truth. I've toned it down with coworkers, friends, and relatives. <br /><br />But in the family we tell it like it is--and immediately. We lived with the elephant in the room for such a long time, and it was so toxic that we don't use euphemisms for heroin anymore. I also don't "wonder" if my son is high. I keep a drug test on hand all the time. We test randomly for any reason or no reason. If the test is positive he has 5 minutes to get out. We only had to do that once--now he believes us.luluberoohttp://justtobeisablessing.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7247382073741201119.post-36971335056651278882012-08-22T22:01:01.901-05:002012-08-22T22:01:01.901-05:00yes....I agree,even though I'm someone much li...yes....I agree,even though I'm someone much like you, with the truth & am at times,blunt,..the truth is so hard for our beloved addicts, but it's also hard for us about them. So many we know and even those that love us, just don't understand addiction the way we have come to understand it. For me, that makes the truth even harder. 104beachteacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14159524928730022945noreply@blogger.com
