I’ve been trying hard to get my friend into an alcohol drug treatment program, but haven’t been able to convince him it’s what’s best for him overall. For some addicts, an alcohol drug treatment facility is the bottom rung, the proverbial safety net before falling into the abyss of the disease. My friend thinks this and he couldn’t be further from the truth.
Sure, there are some people who need to lose everything; family, friends, job, and health, but there are many people who don’t lose anything at all. They see the signs and get help. The scary part of addiction is that you can’t see the insanity of the disease. It is on you before you know it.
