Strike while the iron is hot...call a rehab today!
The decision to enter into a drug rehab and begin the all important work of recovery is fearful for most people! Aloha and thank you for taking the time to read our daily blog at Paradise Recovery. We often here from our HelpLine operator that people will desperately need help and describing an all too familiar story about personal and interpersonal tragedy and how addiction has destroyed all that is important in their lives.
However, a percentage of the callers will then want to "schedule" their rehab until a later day...one, two or even three months in the future. Why do you think this is not helpful? Well, just so you know, all, yes I said ALL, of these callers do not end up in rehab at the time they desired. The misunderstanding that attacking this disease of addiction is like scheduling a spa appointment is a gross underestimation of the control that the disease has over you.
The First of the Twelve Steps say, "We admit we are powerless over our addiction and our lives have become unmanageable." To deny this, is to hand over the power to the disease and in many cases, ending in death!
If you, or someone you know needs help, then please respond to your intuition and make the call immediately, or arrange for help and act quickly. Our experience is when you act quickly, you have a greater chance for transformation, hence a sustaining recovery from drugs and alcohol or any other type of addiction! In "taking control" over getting help, you are "surrendering" to the recovery process away from a life of addiction.
