BothHands said: Ellen, keep in mind that Kada's talking about a little bit of pot and alcohol. It doesn't sound like he knows about your situation. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't agree with taking heroin or suboxone or large quantities of xanax while you're pregnant. You'll end up with a baby that's addicted as soon as it comes out. It will likely also be extremely small and unhealthy. You have to get all the way clean before you get pregnant. After you've had a kid, a few drinks, or a few puffs isn't a big deal. There's no need to be 100% clean after you have your kids, but you have to get past your addiction before you get pregnant, or you'll wind up giving an unborn, unconsenting baby heavy drugs.
I'm sure I'll also smoke a bit of pot every once in a while. I doubt I'll trip again until she's maybe 15, and even then, only when she's sleeping over at a friend's house or something.
Please think it through. I know you want a kid, and so do I. More than anything else in the world. But we both have to wait until the time is right, and we're in the right places in our lives.
I don't do addictive drugs. Well besides alcohol and I don't drink that often. I'm not talking about doing drugs that are dangerous here. I smoke pot and drink occationally. I mean like 1 time a week or every two weeks. When I say drink I mean like 3 or 4 beers.
Opiates are horrible. No one should do opiates around children. I won't even take prescribed Vicodin around my kids because it isn't the type of thing that a responsible person should do. If you mean DRUGS, as in REAL DRUGS like coke or meth or Opiates then NO WAY would I do drugs around my kids.
Sorry for the confusion. I wasn't aware of anything outside of this post. My mom ruined my family because of Opiates and alcohol.
