Knowledge and understanding are ultimately the first steps in making progress, and then ultimately healing from an addiction - whether it be to alcohol or drugs - which is something I try and emphasize regularly.
Because once you understand something - in this case the nature of addiction - you can let go of all your preconceptions that keep you stuck and prevent you from moving forward.
Being inflexible and having preconceived notions on a particular area (in this case alcoholism or drug addiction) - means we end up being our worst enemies in our fight against addiction.
So the first thing you need to do - is get out of your own way - and empower yourself with the knowledge and information you need to begin your journey of recovery and ultimately starting a new life for yourself.
Being right is a need many of us struggle with - and open-mindedness and flexibility of thought just don't come naturally. That can be a good thing at times. But not when it comes to addiction-related illnesses where a life could be at stake.
When it comes to understanding the nature of alcoholism and drug addiction, a particularly contentious issue is the addiction/alcoholism as a disease argument. At the end of the day, whether or not you agree with this line of reasoning, should make little difference to you doing everything you can to fight your own or help someone else fight their addiction.
Another potentially controversial topic is discussing the causes of drug addiction and alcoholism. Genetic and hereditary factors are increasingly being scientific proven to play significant roles, but many still refuse to accept the fact.
If you would like to read more detailed information around any of these issues, don't hesitate to visit my website by following the links provided. But remember, ultimately the most important thing is to do whatever is necessary to beat your (or someone you care about) alcoholism or drug addiction. - 15465
