Eek! Am I dreading this with my kids (4). I know what I did, I hope they are better than I. Hopefully, they will take after their father.

I have SW-CAH. I don’t really do anything now (occasional beer) but, boy, am I amazed I survived without any addictions. I’ve tried pot (whenever the package stores were closed), speed (pretty much a whole semester or two of college), mescaline (at least a dozen times), cocaine (just two or three times - never really got the big hoopla) and more than my share of alcohol.

It was drilled into my head that I had to take my meds. No matter how messed up I was, I always remembered to take my meds. Last thing I did before I crashed for the night/morning. I always kept meds with me (easy for a girl with a pocketbook).

I survived with most of my brain cells (I think - some would argue otherwise).

Constantly reinforce the importance of medication. Pray a lot and hope for the best.

Good luck!
