There Is Hope!
When we speak of substance abuse we’re talking about; “a pathological relationship with drugs and alcohol resulting in life-damaging consequences.”
In 1956 the American Medical Association recognized alcoholism as a physiological disease. Thus, chemically dependent people are compelled to use drugs and alcohol whether they want to or not; even in the face of catastrophic consequences.
Why can’t they just stop? Because, substance abuse has nothing to do with willpower, courage, fortitude, character, self-control or common sense. Generally, addicts and alcoholics are GOOD people with a very BAD disease which is what makes this situation such a tragedy. Alcoholics Anonymous calls it; “an allergy of the body and obsession of the mind.” It's often referred to as delusional thinking, addictive reasoning, superficial logic, and chemically induced psychosis. Or call it plain ol' DENIAL. In truth, we don’t have all the answers yet - nor are they even important right now. All that matters at this time is getting yourself or the person you love into treatment, because one thing is certain; left untreated, this disease has a 100% fatality rate!
The good news is; no addict or alcoholic has to want treatment in order to benefit from treatment. All that’s important is getting to treatment!
With your permission I’d like to talk in person, confidentially. As a board certified substance abuse counselor and interventionist I can answer questions and explain your options so when you're ready you can make an informed choice. You are one phone call away from easing your pain. If you could have done this alone you would have long ago. Reach out and allow this recovering addict and alcoholic the privilege of joining the fight with you.
