YES! Half of my family doesn't believe in MI at all, and the other half believes in "natural only" treatment. For most of them, that's weed. For others, it's alcohol. The rest have died. I gave up on educating or persuading them, especially since their insistence that my mom go off her meds unknowingly started her on a major drinking binge that eventually killed her. I don't really talk to any of them. So I'm basically alone. I work as a peer counselor, though, and have found my support there.
