Food For Thought!
In the world of addiction, people are put into two catagory "The Adict " and " The Recovering Adict" , if we take it, in conceradtion that, for some of the addics have a leazatemate reason, EVEN THOUGHT, EVERY ADICT'S HAS A ABSOLUTELY REAL REASON, WHY THEY DO, WHAT THEY DO Few actually have, true physical, and physiological / emotional conditions, which, is so untooarable, that only way to cope with life is to suppress it.
I understand there are legal madecation, and treatment options, but for certain people, they don't work, whatever the reason is Financial or Simply a Matter Of Choice, Fact remains those people go through, a regular relapsing, and getting clean, " The Revolving Door Factor" throughout their life.
I personally have been part of the life of such people, as close friends and family, it's so unbelivele horrible, for everyone involved, The Addict and everyone who are part of their life, Father, Mother, Brothers, Sisters, Children Friends, all and all, goes through a painful emmotional roller coaster, ride of Hope, Expection, and The heart break, The Adict has their addiction to save them, for rest of the people, its tough luck, very little comfort, and that's why we see more of the children of an Adict, become one! , In the end, everyone gives up copmletly, I have seen a parents of a young girl, puts their daughter out, and closes the door, knowing what waits out their for her, And comfort themselves by saying "She brought it on herself". Some of these people in and out of the treatment centers 19 to 25 times in 15 years of their addiction, with every failed attempt, goes part of the hope! For everyone involved. Not to maintaion the legal nightmare this people goes through.
This is somethingno one should go through through! All we need is " THE THIRD OPTION, " THE FUNCTIONAL ADDICS" Living with addiction yet be functional and productive.
This is lot harder than, being an addict or recovering addict, because this takes what every addict don't want in their life , Discipline and Control" but with right mind set, little guidance, it can be done! I have seen this many times, have been a part of it. Even though I am not a perfect example, I know people who are so perfect, being functional, and maintaining their addiction, These are some very well established, and well achieved, in every aspect, of their persona,l and professional life. People who known then all their life, part of their dally life, had no idea.
We should put more emphasis on this. To better some of our friends and family, who simpply fade away, from our memories, our world, leaving the loved ones more questions than answer, may what ifs, yet a sense of relief!
