The only thing going through my head is the principle that humans will continue a behavior until it no longer works or has the desired affect… that is human nature… if we had no consequences for our actions, we wouldn’t change the wrong ones would we?

As a former addict and recovering addict/alcoholic and as a mother of a 21 yo, an 18 yo and a 16 yo… I say go for consequences… the more they hurt, the less likely you are to see a repeat performance. Here is the key though… you have to make it reasonable… if it is unbearable, she could give up on any dreams of college or career… so make it so she can redeem herself… like withdrawing privileges for a set period of time… whether it is driving or going out… or make your support conditional… we will help with tuition IF you have a clean drug screening only… then stick to it!
 
It’s not your fault! Kids mess up all the time! I’m thirteen and I got in trouble with porn a year ago. It was peer presure not my parents. Try to pray for her. That’s what my greatgrandmother did for me and now look at me! 🙂 I am a good Catholic boy who is always bugging my priest with questions about the liturgy! 😛 Just pray. 🙂 I will pray for her also. Can you provide a name? It helps me to know a name when I pray but if it’s not possiable I am sure God knows who I am talking about.

If you were my kid you would have cared… because all my funding for college would END and I might even try to get some of your financial aid revoked by telling the school and/or organizations that gave you scholarships. College is for learning, not using illegal drugs with impunity.

BTW, as a person who was forced to live across the hall from a chronic pot smoker in college, I am sure your neighbors appreciated you making the whole area smell like a burning garbage dump! :mad:

I can assure you I am a changed person from who I was then. Am I happy about how I lived my life? No. I decided to open up to share my experiences to try to help the OP, not to be attacked by someone else. If you don’t like what I had to say, you could have politely disagreed instead of making the matter personal.
