I have a brother-in-law who has been in jail repeatedly and over the holidays while on probation, was arrested again after his court mandated AA meeting. He will stop using when he decide to and no sooner.

We who have been there and done that -- or seen people who have -- understand.

Nothing but true desire will make anyone quit.

My brother died 6 years ago due to the abuse of drugs. He was a straigh a student studying at Johns Hopkins to one day become a neurosurgeon. Somewhere along the way he discovered cocaine. Then dropped out of school and moved out west for 2 years. He went to live with a friend who eventually threw him out and he came back here with 2 beautiful daughters and a wife. Started working at a Pizza Hut as a manager and got fired for stealing money. Tried to sell my dads 1 year old Mercedes for $500 to some drug dealer. Father had to ask him to leave and then he moved to Canada to live with an Aunt and 3 months after after that he overdosed by huffing household cleaning products. From a promising future at Johns Hopkins to Death within a 3 years. Wish he did have a true desire to quit because his children will never know what a wonderful father they could have had.
