Re: drugs / Elaine - question

[Guest guest]

Elaine, this is such an apt description of when they begin to use again.

Do you notice, too that your daughter when using can just all of a sudden

fall asleep, awake one moment, and then sleeping the next?

At one visit, my daughter was engrossed in pulling all the ink pens that I

had sitting around out and staring thoughtfully at them, holding them up to

the light, like a scientist would do with a project. The only thing I could

figure out was that she was trying to gauge the usefulness of the pen as a

pipe, or something. Do you know what this was about, the checking out the ink

pens?

P.S. I think you nailed part of the fears that they have that contribute to

their usage too.
