I'm heartbroken seeing my little sister make horrible mistakes and risking her life when she's so bright, beautiful, and normally a good person. I think about her 2 year old son even more and how he can eventually be effected by this. PCP out of all the drugs easily accessed *sigh*. I fear she'll end up like the other PCP junkies on the TV, the kind that go crazy and run a muck butt naked ending up in an mental hospital. Jeez... I wonder what's come across her, that's made her do this.

I've never seen nor used PCP. I only know one person in real life who has. But I do know this happens, people do use it and get addicted to it, and getting off it requires treatment.

I wish I had answers for you.

Good luck to you and your sister.

I don't have any experience with it either, but have heard that most need treatment to recover from it. I hope she'll realize she needs help.

What a shame.

Let me tell you that I have done LOTS of it in my past, and it is an evil, nasty, awful drug.

I quit doing it because the last time I did it, I became violent for absolutely no reason and started punching the wall aggressively.. it scared the living %#@&#! out of me pardon the curse.

I've seen it put people into seizures, cause hallucinations.. its bad, bad stuff and i truly beileve when people say it can make you go crazy.

I hope she can get the help she needs to get off of this stuff. I don't mean to scare you with all the bad talk about it I just had such a scary experience with it..

I worked with a woman my age in the 1970's who was doing it and she said she got really paranoid and angry. She got off because of what she saw in herself and her boyfriend on the stuff and because there was too much chance of other, deadly stuff being mixed with it and because she was trying to get pregnant. She said it was really nasty stuff too.

I've tried PCP back in high school and the first time was my last...I had a bad trip. My sister was telling me of a story where she was high driving down the freeway in DC and her cellphone started to suck her in. She threw the phone in the backseat to make it stop and she claims it was still sucking her in. She said she couldn't feel the gas or brake pedal neither and wasn't sure if she was going or in a dead stop. I told her that PCP makes you hallucinate and she argued that it didn't. Obviously it does.

It is a disgusting drug, normal people become beasts on that %#@&#!.

I haven't been able to get ahold of her the last couple days, but if her bad trip wasn't enough to get her to stop then I plan on taking a trip to DC and having an intervention...her husband and I will get her help if she needs it.

She's risking her husbands military career by doing this, hopefully she doesn't bring it near base.

Don't really know much about this drug, although it sounds scary. Just wanted to wish you and your sister luck.

I have certainly done my share of drugs. Many many years ago I had several experiences with pcp! Not a good thing. But I dont think I need to go into details since you have a good idea already. You ask what came over your sister to make her do this drug. I do not think she picked that particular drug, I think it was available when she wanted to use. It could have been anything, I think. I always felt any child deserves a good, stable, loving responsible parent. So even though I was into drugs, I did not involve any children. Mess up your own life not a child! I hope she will stop before her child is really hurt. If not, I hate to say this but I would try to get her child taken from her care! I am sorry you are going through this. Everyday I try to make up for all I put my family through with my addiction. Good luck to you

PCP is an intense drug--I had some bad experiences with it. I hope your sister can get away from it before she gets hurt. Hang in there.

What confuses me is all her life, our life, our mother used resulting with us having very difficult childhoods and being abandoned. Still my mother struggles with addiction and my sister sees what this has done to her...it destroyed a beautiful young women and damaged her beyond repair..speaking of my mother. My children are enough to keep me on my wits, especially from hard drug use. I do drink more then I should and I do smoke pot occasionally, but never in front of them or around them...they have no idea. The way she cherishes her child I assumed she would never make these sorts of bad decisions. But then again if she's anything like our mother (and she is very much like Mom) then she will selfish. It's exactly what she is being...purely inconsiderate and selfish. I've been beginning to get angry because after she swore up and down to me that she would not use again and that her affair with a man from work was over...I called and she was using with the man she was having an affair with from the past. It probably never stopped and she's probably been using much longer then she claimed. Lies....so typical while in active addiction.

Just hurt and feel betrayed.

My nephew is actually being cared for by my sisters husband so I don't worry for him as much, but he is being sent to Afghanistan, and once he's gone I will get really worried. Hopefully something changes between now and then.

Growing up with an addict mother might be exactly why she grew up to be an addict. It's a tough cycle to break.
