Questions to ask yourself
Do you worry about how many drugs someone is taking?
Do you have money problems because of someone’s drug taking?
Are you afraid to upset someone for fear it will set off a drug binge?
Do you think that, if the drug user stopped taking drugs, your other problems would be solved?
Do you feel angry, depressed and confused most of the time?
If you answered 'yes' to three or more of these questions you are probably spending more time worrying about how to control another person’s drug use than attending to your own needs.
Take some time to think about what changes you can make in your life to ease the burden of dealing with a drug user.

She controls it." Peter
