Been an alcoholic, addict and worked as a substance abuse counselor. None of this matters. I realize that sounds nihilistic but it is simple and true. No one will stop using until they are ready to stop using. No amount of cajoling, education, films, peer encouragement or discouragement.............nothing will stop the alcoholic or addict from using unless the person has reached a point {for whatever reason} that he or she is "ready" to stop. Everything else is just talk. Meaningless.
Like I think starting with the needle is best cuz you get hooked the fastest and can get it over with fastest by shooting an overdose.
