And that truly is a blessing. It's unfortunate that the prevailing drug policy in the U.S. which has been an utter failure for the last 35 years has placed all the focus on trying to reduce the supply of drugs. If kids understand life and their place in it, if they're taught how to figure out its problems and challenges, and if they learn to like and love themselves, drugs and alcohol abuse almost become a non-issue. But try telling that to the delusional generals in the "war on drugs." With a 2.6 billion dollar budget slated for 2009, (most of which is for salaries) there's way too much money at stake for them to care about the real solutions. Meanwhile, community by community, we wither away. It sounds like you were blessed with parents that knew something about parenting. And that truly is a blessing.
