Obsidian, I was really glad to hear you quit smoking weed. Congratulations!!! Hang in there-this could be a valuable self discovery period for you. It could last a few years but think of it as rewarding when you consider others' who didn't use drugs may have formed their identity as a child without having supportive parents. It's sort of a case of I wish I knew then what I know now. If you've been a substance abuser all your life, and I don't know if this is your case or not, you get to form your identity using all the knowledge and experience you've collected over the years, rather from trial and error. Reinvention doesn't sound too bad. I'll have to pass that thought along to my sis as well.
