@liveloveworshipHim - Bless you for showing your class a video about the dangers of inhalant use! My friend actually has a Brain Injury from huffing at the age of 12, now in her 30s, as I'd mentioned in another post. Thank you for bring attention to such an important issue as the risks and consequences of huffing. Those who use inhalants may not realize that the chemicals in products used for huffing are actual POISONS that were never meant to go through the bloodstream.

@elgalan1975 - I'm so sorry that you've had to deal with your brother's inhalant addiction & for such a long period of time. Addiction does affect the entire family of which you're all too familar. Hopefully, you and/or your family have attended Al-Anon. My friend has a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) from huffing at the age of 12, now in her 30s. Not everyone dies from inhalant use but may end up with permanent neurological (brain, spinal cord, nerves) damage.

@AttackRoflCoptter - Just fyi, for anyone, that field experts have referred to those who stop "using" (drug or alcohol - or any addictive behavior) on their own (without a 12-step program and/or Addictions counseling) as a "dry drunk" since those individuals haven't dealt with the issues that may have led to self-medicating in the first place. Please, everyone, be smart and make good, HEALTHY choices in life :)

@AttackRoflCoptter - Great job for being clean for 6 (and hopefully more at this time) months!! Hopefully, you're in some kind of program such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) for added support. (Just fyi that one may attend an "open" AA meeting if he or she doesn't have a drinking problem.) Please remember the motto's "People, places and things" and "One day at a time" regarding one's sobriety (staying sober). My friend has a Brain Injury from huffing at 12, now in her 30s.
