How To Avoid Addiction For Life

By Kiedra Jackson


Many young men and women in the United States are getting high on drugs these days. A lot of the time, these young men and women were taught how to take drugs from their parents. The illegal use of heroin is a drug that is sweeping the nation right now. Many young adults between the ages of 18 and 35 seem to be affected the most. If you live in New York City, New Hampshire, Florida and New Jersey, then you need a good education on how to stay away from these types of drugs. Heroin use has shown to be at an all-time high in these states. It is important to understand why you are addicted to drugs in the first place.

Drug and alcohol treatment centers often have a unique approach to treatment for drugs and alcohol. Each treatment center offers someone the opportunity to get help via 12 step or holistic. Many treatment centers find that they have many reasons why they are successful. Children are often hurting for their parents. Growing up, they watched them getting high on the couch and shooting up heroin. Unfortunately, many children grow up to be drug addicts themselves. It is estimated that 1 in every 4 adults will become addicts if their parents were addicts. That is a high percentage being we live in one of the most educated countries in the world.

It is important for addicts to find their own path when it comes to sobriety. The founder of Alcoholics Anonymous (Bill Wilson) found his sober path. It was a path that he did not fully understand or even come to know right away. He found that his faith is what kept him sober. He tried going into hospital treatment programs that never worked for him. Doctors even told him that if didn't stop drinking, he was going to die. He found a personal relationship with his Lord and savior Jesus Christ. After that happened, he started to live a sober life.

There is an interesting connection between sobriety and our faith. Many people find that our faith brings us into an inner knowledge that everything is going to be okay. When we feel like God is fighting for us, we get good examples of things happen for us. In the light of all things, good things always seem to be happening in the world that we live in. We often feel lost and then something begins to happen for us. We begin to feel like our lives are happier and actually free. In the end, we end up winning.

I believe in sobriety 100%. You must encourage your family members to go to rehab if they are having a problem with addiction. It takes an entire families help to get the addict into a program that works well for them. The world is full of people that are hurting from addiction. If you are a father, please take it upon yourself to get help. Your child needs you to show them the way to sobriety. If you have an addiction, they will often have an addiction as well. Everything takes time to figure out and sobriety is often the best way of getting help for you and a loved one.
