My parents were addicts. I stated drinking at 14 pot at 10 coke/crack at 16 heroin at 22. I have been in recovery 3 years. My question is how many people are addicts who came from homes of addicts? i do belive my parents being addicts had a zillion terrible effects on my choices to use.

Answer by Syd J
well I’m 19 years old and as long as i could remember my parents have been addicted to crack, but they recently have been trying to stop. I can tell that its very hard for them but they are trying, but me being who i am i take the situation as a advantage. Since i grew up seeing first hand the affects of drugs and alcohol. It makes me not wanted to experiment with drugs because I already know where its going to take me. Plus I wouldn’t want my kids to have to go through what i had to go through because its not fun watching your parents poison themselves with drugs. So all I can say is stay strong stay sober and think things through!!!!
