Addiction is Poisonous: Respect the warning signs!
It takes years to nurture a well developed addiction. You're damn good at it! Why quit now?
Well, you just need to watch the daily news to see celebrities and non-celebrities; rich and poor; women and men; teens and seniors; whites and persons of color struggle with the consequences from daily doses of toxic substances into their bodies and lives. Imagine, drinking poison for 20-30 years...how does it affect you? You BECOME poisonous! We spend most of our time, our money and relationships centered around our addictions...whew, a lot of work for one addict! Addiction requires your full attention. It doesn't like to share. No way!
Some of the warning signs of an addiction are
* people who normally love and care for you appear concerned for you, * your hopes and dreams become less and less important, * you are quick to argue and become agitated with anyone inquiring about your alcohol/drug use, * rules/laws become less important to you, * you become depressed or anxious more often, * difficulty sleeping, * needing more and more of the substance...it occupies more of your "head" and thoughts, * ignoring the news about your addict friends being hospitalized or incarcerated because of their alcohol and drug abuse, * getting high after the funeral of a close friend who dies from a drug overdose.
Think about it. What a life! Remember, addiction requires your full attention...nothing less! To become a poisonous person takes time, effort and skill.
Recovery asks for the same...your full and undivided attention! Now, imagine transforming your life in such a way that you become the opposite of poisonous...well! The Buddhists call this "Enlightenment"! Addiction treatment takes a great deal of courage, effort, patience and diligence to avoid the strong pull of the poison. If you, or a loved one is struggling with being "poisonous", please contact our HelpLine today at (866) 478-9898 and begin the path towards "wellness"! Don't delay, you are worth becoming well.
