This sounds a lot like the movie Traffic where Michael Douglas's kid fell with the wrong crowd, did drugs, stole money and stuff for drugs, had sex for money to get drugs-all except that it's real. That movie gave me the chills thinking about what can happen when my kids grow older.

Man I feel for you.

You are pretty much correct with the stars, and stars kids. I have found that it takes pain to create change. That is with anything in our lives, once there is enough pain we will then decide to change. I have worked with many stars, and children of stars (one is even mentioned in this thread). I had one kid, his grandparents left him over 1 million dollars. He couldnt have the money until he was sober for one year. His family told him if he didnt stay sober, they would donate the money to charity. Well, he didnt stay sober, and they did donate the money. There are a lot of court ordered people in treatment, they dont want to change, so they dont. But someday, hopefully before they OD, they will decide to change. I have lost 5 friends in the last 18 months to drug and alcohol (including my roommate). I know that my life has never been this good. Who would have imagined, clean and sober.
