Has anyone else suffered from parents who do drugs? or who abuse pills

yes, others suffered too because of them

everyone i know smokes crystal meth...its terrible.....so terrible....and weed but thats just a cigarette around here....and a cigarette is like.....air

Yes, sadly.

I grew up with parents who kicked ass on pills and drugs, suffered nothing...

Mine did one alcohol the other pills guess thats why I like both.

Pill of choice = Valium
Drink of choice = Sake

I am a greatful recovering alcoholic. I have heard awful stories from drug abusers trying hard to come clean. I did not drink until I was in my '30's. Any addiction is bad. When I woke up one day and realised I was worried about being out of alcohol I knew I had a problem.

No

No, but my grandfather was a "functional alcoholic".

No joke but my father and HIS father passed away from alcohol, nicotine and who knows what else...

im adopted, but my bio parents did/do. idk. i dont keep track iof them lol. but i do drugs and take way to many pills.

I had a best friend...we spent everyday together. her parents used drugs. they would lock themselves int he bathroom and shoot up heroine, while we banged at the door for 3 hours straight begging them to give us money to go to the 7:11 down the street.
Her parents got arrested, she was put in the care of her blood aunt, and she never went back to her parents to my knowledge, her parent's were not allowed to see her until they were 200% sober.....sadly i don't think her parents ever got cleaned.She has a little brother too....they both suffered from it. I first hand witnessed it.

I had friends who were crack babies.

Yes I have, My mom and dad. My dad died from swallowing a bag of Coke. And My mom has been in and out of prison and has done everything. But heroin Was her Best friend, Her everything. Sometimes me and my sister felt like we were nothing and that the heroin took over our spot. But now she's better :)

My whole family suffer from some form of addiction. Even though I'm usually depressed, I think there are more reasons for my current condition then being raised in an Alcoholic home. It's never "just one thing" that makes someone the way they are. BTW, most of my friend's family members have a similar situation. I guess it would make sense that I would surround myself with like-minded people.

Literally everyone is different, and most certainly everyone has the right to their opinions. Personally, though, I have tried and used recreationally weed, coke, and crack; those just the illegal ones.I had a morphine drip bag one when I was in the hospital after the truck hit me, so I have no idea what dosage that was; I've tried heroin and methadone, both of which did absolutey nothing for me. I tried to smoke cigarettes for 20 years, off and on, probably 8 cartons worth, but my body can't tolerate cigarettes, and I could never develop a taste for alcohol. Hence, I don't drink. What I do feel though, is that people who have tried what they're talking about have more credibility than those who have not tried something, yet are either just plain against it or try to say how bad it is for others. How could they possibly know without trying it for themselves? I'll tell you this, if you had been making a pathway through tall brush in a battle zone, and you come across a woman with a 'dress-like' covering on her, you have no idea what she has under that dress. She could have a wrap of dynamite around her, or an AK under it. After seeing things like this a man has to be able to sit down and, as in my case, smoke a joint to readjust my attitude before getting up for more of it. Now you've got the extremist Muslims hiding behind women and children, dressing like civilians; hell, you've even got half the Pakistani government and army hiding Bin Laden for god knows how long, and they get upset at us for coming in unannounced into a compound and finding bin laden and killing him, when their own military academy was merely a mile away? No, no, the Pakistani government and military are being as two faced as so many people here in the states are; when it comes to something they want, they'll lie to get it. Everyone will. Maybe I got off the subject a bit with the politics, sorry.

Both my parents were big druggies in the70's and 80's, ..hangin out with the=*(insert motorcycle club name here)* and doing lots of crank. Then, the pretty much became hardcore, functioning alcoholics until it caught up with them.
*They both died from their various substance abuse. My dad was 44 and my mom died 1 month ago at 54. I'm so sad, but mostly angry..
Thanks for letting me share...and talk to people who understand what it feels like to be a kid of an alcoholic etc parent.

Just my dad(i think)i've never really seen him do it tho,if i did saw him,i'd have him jailed and my life would be awesome(er)

Mine and my friends parents. Almost all of my friends parents actually.
