People that do DRUGS I mean DRUGS not weed because I don't consider weed a drug but anyways people…

I get what you're saying 100% but sometimes people aren't able to get clean for themselves but are able to do it for the baby. I was able to. God willing I've been clean my whole pregnancy so far. And I had a 6/7 year off and on heroin addiction

My husband's ex wife sickens me. She tested positive in the placenta for Meth when she had her daughter who is now 7 months old. And she smoked Crack while my son and husband were asleep in the next room. once a drug addict always a drug addict. IDC who you are. Drugs will always be the first thing that crosses their mind when things get tough.

it just takes a single moment of weakness to slip back into it

addiction itself is weakness. and I'll never understand it.

I completely understand where all three of you are coming from. I am a child of addicts. For me it was never an option. watching my mother almost because she was given pills in her morning drink when she got home from working at a strip club by her boyfriend when I was 4 and having to be the one to call the paramedics and my grandparents was my first insight. My second was helping my step dad everytime he would withdrawal from Heroin and protecting my younger brother from it. Third was all the danger my father put me in due to all of his addictins & the possibility of my 2 year old brother having mental issues due to his mother n my father's addiction issues. It truly is a sickness. It effects everyone even if those addicted don't realize the effects on their children.

@_stephanie.g, My SO was able to come off of them. Has stayed off of them for years.

i was addicted to my prescription med before finding out i was pregnant and im 32 weeks now and havent taken it since i found out about the baby and am definitely not lying about it. it is very possible!

i smoked meth for 4 months i left my boyfriend of 6 almost 7 years this was last year this time i gave up on myself i gave up on trying to become a mother i wanted a new way to "kill myself". i stopped in july i started going to church i could never get "high" people thought it was so weird i would sleep and eat and i just didn't understand why people liked it. i used to be very suicidal so this was a new coping skill when i saw people get locked up and die i knew my time was coming i said i can only get away with it so many times before it catchs up to me. i started going to church in july i prayed and prayed lord dont let me sink in this water lord help me have understanding and help people who suffer with addiction. and that's exactly what he did. i am not ashamed of my 4 months of wrong decisions. my bf cried to me to stop and so did my amazing family. i have helped so many people find god who where former addicts. i wasnt an addict i guess u could say i visted their world for a few months to have more understanding and i have helped them. god got me out of it before i got into it too deep. ive helped prostitutes ive helped people at their lowest ive prayed with them at trap houses and some relapsed some have changed for the better. i love them from a distance and that was my purpose so YES people can quit and just PUT IT DOWN. it's different when you shoot it up which i did not or if u have went years and years of doing it which i did not. its about having people who care and trusting in god. i got pregnant in October when i got baptized and became reborn

and accepted jesus christ as my savior. i was truley reborn. i dont hangout with people who do this still i dont even associate with them i ask about them if they are living thats all i can care about i leave them in gods hands and pray for them from a distance because I cannot and willnot bring my daughter around people that are that deep and lost. its nothing personal just my baby comes first and i have to just trust god that he will come into their lives. so yes people can quit nobody believes people can but its amazing what god can do if you trust and have faith and have people that care and pray for you. im not saying my decisions were right but i did help alot of people come to church and grow their relationship with god. :)

and my good old friend she is due any week now she smoked meth and i would cry and begg her to stop before i found out i was pregnant i would go off people who would give her the pipe i would say how are u giving her this knowing she is pregnant!!!!! she couldnt stop she had to move shes real lost in life right now i check in on her about once a week but thats all i can do because her actions dont fly with me. she would beg me to take her daughter but i cant! she smoked 3 months ago she told me so im sure she will lose her daughter it breaks my heart how people can do this but addiction is serious. and life is full of sin. nothing i can do but pray about it and hope her daughter is healthy and doesnt come out a meth addict as a baby):
