Mom Sending Me to Drug Addiction Therapy…opinions?

Question by Mooka Mooka: Mom sending me to drug addiction therapy…opinions?
Im 19 and indo smoke and stuff. Pills, drink a little. But i do educate myself in the drug thoroughly before ever trying a new substance. i try to take it with most harm reduction and safely as possible.

Long story short she found out and sending me to addiction therapy. I dont think i need it, im really fine i go months and weeks without doing anything lol. And im really willing to quit. I see no need to send me to therapy -_-

Plus she took my cellphone and car keys, both she pays for, for a month. I am currently seeking a job lol.
But does therapy really help if im not really wanting to change? I plan on going along with it but i still plan on using once im out lol.

Opinions? How do these sessions work?? My mom thinks smoking weed is bad for you btw ..
Can anyone relate?

no addict admits there,s a problem. that,s why you,re an addict. been there with my teen age son. he didn,t believe he had a problem. he,s successfully been thru rehab, and is a productive member of society, with a growing family. get the rehab, and become a human.

As a mother I certainly can. My son has been an alcoholic since his teens and also smoked weed. I would have gladly sent him to any therapy in the hopes of helping him and not have to bear the pain of seeing his wasted life. Bother his father and a cousin have talked to him about AA to no avail.

Group therapy will be an education for you so enter into it with an open mind. You will miss out on so many wonderful life opportunities if you don’t consider all the issues around using drugs or drinking. Don’t look on it as “punishment”, just as a chance to open your mind and consider how you want to live your life.

Good luck to you and best wishes to your mother who really wants you to have the best possible life.
