[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 782266, member: 1246"] [COLOR=teal]It's TRUE !! It's an addictive gene. Sometimes it skips a generation. You can be the best, most attentive, most involved parent and give your kids the best education, but they go and not only do drugs, but become hopelessly hooked. As far as addicted kids, I'm batting 1000! One is celebrating 8 yrs (AA) on Nov. 16th. (crystal meth, heroine & cocaine)The other one quit cold turkey years ago and never looked back (ice). The other one is ....I don't know where, but he has been a career criminal all his life from young teens. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#008080]And it's not the trying of drugs so much as becoming addicted when they do. The trying is probably peer pressure....but the fact that they can't stop is in them. Hubby & I never tried any drugs.....knowing that the gene for addiction was in our families. I guess we were scared straight. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#008080][/COLOR] [B]The Role Of Genetics In Addiction[/B] Most experts agree that genetics do play a role in addiction but this factor does not necessarily mean that family members have a gene that says they will definitely become an addict of something but that these people all carry significant genetics that suggest they are more susceptible to addiction and once they start using a substance, will find it increasingly difficult to cease using it.
