Did you ever go to school drunk or high? If so, how did you make it through the day without getting caught? What are some signs that a teacher should be aware of that a student may be using drugs and/or alcohol?

Three months ago my husband lost a hunting buddy to a life long alcohol problem. He had been in and out of treatment, lost his license, worked on the Huber law while serving time. It seemed that when he was in treatment it wasn't for himself. What was the turning point for you, was there a moment in your life or did something have to happen to make you realize that you had a problem and you needed help? Was there something that a person did or said that help?

Did your school have any type of addiction counseling programs that you knew about? Did you ever seek help through those programs?

I don't think my school ever did. But I am sure if you told the counselor about it she would have found a way to help you.

There is a guy in my kayaking club that went to Hazelden and it was a complete success for him. He said he was a really messed up guy. He is very outspoken about even other people using drugs - some say almost (and I quote) Nazi-like. Maybe he has to be this way. People sometimes make fun of him because of this strong feeling about drug use. I don't get this. He was messed up and turned his life around. I would rather have someone obsessed with NOT taking drugs than continuing a path of ruin.

Thinking back to your first experiences, why were you doing it? Peer pressure, to fit in, curiosity, .....?

Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is just insane. The War on Drug-Using Americans is the same counterproductive egregious failure as Prohibition of alcohol — a terrible waste of people's lives and money, a direct supporter of the criminal underworld and the international drug trade. The dirty little secret about our war in Afghanistan is that Americans are paying for both sides: the obvious one and the opium-poppy-supported Taliban.
There is no drug so dangerous that it can't be made worse by criminalizing it. What we need is the medical model for treating drug dependency, not the criminal model.

You certainly have a long list of myths but you do not give us statistical realities. For example, only 2% of the opiate addicts recover on any kind of permanent basis. You needed to create your front page with guest bio here on this link.
