Best Way to Keep My Kid From Doing Drugs.?
Question by Aaron B: Best way to keep my kid from doing drugs.?
Hi,
I am having my first child very soon, he can come any day now and I’m scrambling around frantic worrying about doing everything right. One concern that I just can’t seem to shake from my mind is drug use, quite a few people in my family have had issue’s with drugs and alcohol, myself included, I have been sober now for over a year and will never go down that road again, but now I’m terrified that the gene or whatever it is that drives members of my family into these addictions is going to get passed on to my son. My wife does not have this addictive personality and there is really only one member of her immediate family that has had any issues with addiction, so I hope that helps me tip the scales.
