This is a drug addicted Afghan family. The Afghan government's slack approach to poverty and opium cultivation has had a direct effect on Afghan society. One can find drugs everywhere in Afghanistan. The husband started smoking opium when he was six, but
I remember when Afghan flooded my country with drugs,now most of the people I know are clean.People were walking around looking like death without dying.Looking at this family and seeing thier pain is hard and close.Thiese people the Afghans,tried to destroy our country with this same drug that has taken a hold to them.I feel 2 ways about these people,they turned thier own weapon on themselves.Maybe I wish on them what was done to us.
These drugs and many other types of drugs make the users SLAVES to the drugs. They affect not only the people that use the drugs, but they affect families, friends, communities. Reality and the potential that an individual can achieve is exchanged for a life of misery and broken hearts. The relatives are correct in removing the children from this hell.
Why wont America supply addicts with METHADONE. A drug that is designed for addicts that are sincere about having some control of addiction and detox under a doctors care. Meanwhile being able to work, function, and not having to depend on opium. If used with tools to work on being sober, and putting life back into order. And putting opium behind them. OPIUM is the worst drug addiction known to men all around the world. U.S.A. has a crack problem also but even that will never compare to the destruction that opium has and will cause...
I truly understand how,and what tis family is going through.I was addicted for around 10 years.I've been clean for almost two now!Believe me,I never want to walk that walk ever again!!!
