passdablunt, I dont totally disagree with you. Almost totally tho. I did not start doing drugs with friends at parties, thus its not true that all people do. For some people, it may be a sign of dependance, specifically those who always used drugs socially, but now, as addicts, horde their drugs to themselves. Not the case for everyone else, which is the majority. For me, every drug I have chosen to sample was done by research, not by someone offering me some. Solo use can be rewarding, consider that at a party, or even a large group, its uncommon that everyone is on the same level. If you do drugs you should know what I mean, to really gain something, its best if people are on the same level, same plane. Parties to me are ok for alcohol or other shallow drugs, but a solo high can be very rewarding. I suppose to be objective I would say either way can be pos or neg, but I wouldn't classify solo use as anything more than what the term implies. Also, keep in mind how rehab works. Its a bunch of ex-addicts who feel better about themselves by trying to save everyone else, that seems to be a popular theme of their motivation. They make it so anyone will be an addict who needs help, its their job. They have figured out the best overall method for convincing people they want help and they have serious problems. Im not saying there program is bad, because some people really do need it like that. But keep in mind how it works. Everybody can relate to some 'steps' or stories they tell, they say what they will say to get people to stop, regardless of how true or biased it is.
