WE LOVE ADDICTS UNTIL THEY LEARN TO LOVE THEMSELVES!!!!!
To all Families of Addicts. You DO LOVE YOUR ADDICT CHILD, SIBLING, PARTNER. No matter how they mess up. We believe in their inherent goodness. We love them. They are in pain, suffering and coping with a disease that needs treatment.
WE ARE SERIOUS ABOUT ADDICTION!
Drug Addiction and Abuse has become the scourge of our society, affecting and effecting families, households, relationships, careers and has contributed to increased crime in our communities and country. Drug addiction knows no bounds, has no discrimination, covers all colours of our rainbow nation, male or female, young or old, wealthy or poverty stricken. It is our problem. It is a Disease that needs to be avoided and one that has received the least treatment in our lives.
As families suffering with addiction and addicts in active use, we know your pain. As parents or the family at large, we are embarrassed and in denial of our loved ones addiction. We hide and make excuses until we have non left to make. Then we look for help, but have no clue where to find it. There’s nobody to ask. So many of us share the pain in solitude. The Addict himself is suffering in pain, as with any disease with no hope of recovery or treatment.
BUT YES THERE IS HOPE, THERE IS PATH, THERE IS A LIFE OF RECOVERY
