Question: What has kept hr from using drugs since the last time she used them?

Answer: After the last time she ran away from home and then returned she promised herself that she would never do drugs again. Those days just keep coming back to haunt her and she is too afraid to ever go back. Once she reads what she wrote she couldn’t believe that that was even her. She realized what she had become and how other children were in the same or worse situations. After seeing this she decided that she wanted to be a physiologist. She sees how all these kids need help and they need someone to talk to who understands. So that would e one reason for her to keep from going back. She knows that there are other people out there who need her help and she knows that it is just not worth it. Also her family keeps her from going back. Even though they don’t know that she was on drugs they still give her the love that she needs. She is taken in with open arms and they put nothing against her. They make her feel part of the family again and that is just what she needs. Lastly, she realizes that she can get the same high or a higher high from just normal things in life. An example of this is the kittens. When she goes down and picks up one of the kittens and it licks her ear she realizes that her life is amazing and there is no need for drugs to influence it. She has everything that she needs for a perfect life right in front of her.
