Hey, all!
Well, where do I start. I Might as well cut to the chase. My oldest son has recently confided in me that he's been getting high. He say's he only smokes reefer occasionally and that it's only on weekends. While I appreciate his honesty I would be lying if I were to say I'm not more than a little concerned. He's a good kid. He's an honor role student and plays two varsity sports. The problem I'm having is I feel he may be heading down the same path that I did when I was a teenager, one that nearly destroyed me. How do I approach him and voice my displeasure without being a hypocrite? He knows full well that I was quite the drug user in my younger days. I fear he'll view my success in life as proof positive that drug use doesn't always lead to the dark side. You see, after I stopped using, I became a degreed professional and a well respected member of our community. If you have any advice I would love to hear it.
Thanks,
Hoosier
