I have mentioned this often previously - before healing or progress can be made when fighting an illness like drug addiction or alcoholism, is knowing and understanding what you're up against.
Because knowledge leads to understanding - and once you understand what addiction is really about - you can get out of your own way and make progress on finding a way out.
When we have preconceived ideas about something (which many people do when it comes to alcoholism and drug addiction) - we become our own worst enemies in trying to overcome our own/help someone else overcome their addiction problems.
So before you do anything else, stop standing in your own way, and empower yourself with the knowledge you need to get you started on beating alcoholism and drug addiction.
Being right is a need many of us struggle with - and open-mindedness and flexibility of thought just don't come naturally. That can be a good thing at times. But not when it comes to addiction-related illnesses where a life could be at stake.
One of the most controversial topics around understanding addiction - is the fact whether alcoholism and drug addiction are in fact a disease. So many people get caught up arguing over the whole addiction/alcoholism disease thing - they let that get in the way of doing what is best to overcome/help someone else overcome an addiction.
Agreeing on the causes of alcoholism and addiction can also sometimes be a contentious issue. Science now shows that genetics plays an increasingly prominent role, but lots of people still don't believe it despite evidence to the contrary.
If you would like to read more detailed information around any of these issues, don't hesitate to visit my website by following the links provided. But remember, ultimately the most important thing is to do whatever is necessary to beat your (or someone you care about) alcoholism or drug addiction. - 15255
