I was so surprised last night that I still can't retrieve from my soon admission that he is taking recreational drugs. I can't believe that this is happening to us. I mean drugs! He defends himself that he is using it just recreationally. He said that he had used barbiturates. Should I be worried?
You should be very worried. Because the difference between recreational drug use and drug abuse is very thin and I believe it exists only in paper. The true question is how he got barbiturates in possession. And why does he take them? He is in danger of developing addiction. But it is good that you have found out it on time. Now you must talk to him and explain to him all the consequences of his act.
