Reply to mind altering drugs. Theres always been contraversy over this one.
My opinion only: Any drug is mind altering-some more than others.
The first question I would ask myself is. "Am I taking this drug to replace alcohol?"
If I am, then I am not sober, and I personally cannot call myself sober.
If I am taking a drug that I need to be taking, for a medical, or mental, or emmotional condition, that a doctor recomends ---and the clicker is--I dont excede the amount prescribed--then I call myself sober.
If I have a bad headache and know that two aspirin will help, but take the whole bottle, because itll REALLY help--then --I can not call myself sober.
I would call myself a nut case (Smile) Have a good night.
PS: If I smoke pot, I cannot call myself sober. To each their own. Some justify doing pot etc. and call themselves sober. "I Cant"

Ps Elizabeth. Its the old story. If your freind wishes help and asks for help, its great that you support her.
If she doesnt think theres anything needs to be changed and is just ok the way she is--well-its a Let Go and Let God, and Live and Let Live, and accept her as she is. Nothing you can do, except be an example.:) and still be a freind.
Good luck.
