Congrats to you. 
Most never make it out..You and I are rare .. |
Glad to hear this..i assume you are talking about alcohol and not meth..
And you say most never make it out?
I did some volunteer work for the Samaritans..a suicide prevention organization and as part of my training I had to go to an AA meeting but not let anyone there know my true purpose was training not treatment.. I will NEVER forget the stories the people told in front of the group about what alcohol had done to them once it took over their lives.. unbelievable how some had so much and lost it all...but I suspected there was something deep in their psyches and drug addiction was their way of coping with it..
Very sad..but glad to see some here have broken the addiction..
I think everyone should see Intervention on the Learning Channel..you can talk all you want to people but only when you actually see drug addiction do you really realize its horrors..
My son ran away when he was 14 and lived for two months among the crackheads..he tells of people getting down on their knees crying and begging the dealer and hugging his calves for just a bit more and being told to get the money any way they can..and they did......,.and once seeking three guys smoking meth...suddenly they run out and turn on each other after accusing each other of holding out on the other...then they got down in the carpet carefully searching for the slightest bit more..
He never got hooked and his kid has been well instructed on the dangers of even the slightest bit of drugs...
