Help.My 18 year old just snorted...?

Question

her 1st ex. w/ meth . We are at a cross roads and she says she never wants to do it again, how can I help reinforce her desire to never use this highly addictive drug even though it is every where?

Answer 1

what did it for me, was i was taken to a rehab center, (not as inpatient, just made an appointment to speak with former meth addicts ) and had some former meth addicts talk to me....some of them had gone as far as prostitution to get the drug, and it really opened my eyes, just to see how far they had fallen. call your local rehab centers and see if they do this. if they do not...get online, and show her picture of the effects of meth and she should hopefully be 100% sure to never use again. good luck.

Answer 2

Alright, Basically with kids they have to want to not do it.. the more you tell them not to do something- the more they will want to do it and find excuses and make up their own answers and find ways to convince them self that its not bad..
but with meth... just tell her to look under the sink or where ever you keep the cleaning supplies... and tell her that is what she snorted.. basically bleach ammonia and many other chemicals to include epinephrin, a synthetic adrenaline given to people with bad allergies or heart failure, or ones who OD... its not good ****- the worst drug there is.. so when you teach her about it- dont force the knowledge on her.. just simple FYI's dont be stern or upset and explain experimentation... and effects of it when it comes to experimenting with something as horrible as Meth.

If she's 18, you really can't stop her from anything she wants to do. I tried coke around that age & didn't like how it made me feel. I guess I was lucky. Talk to her honestly. Did you experiment at her age? I was always honest with my daughter.
