THE DANGERS OF ADDICTION

Addiction poses a serious threat and can create a harmful domino effect within your family.

Frequent addictions include alcohol, drugs, sex, money, and food.

There are countless forms of addiction, some of which can have deadly consequences. Alcohol and drug dependency should not be taken lightly, and many drinkers and users are in denial of their addiction.

Fortunately, there are supportive services available to help individuals manage or overcome these destructive habits. People become dependent on substances for a variety of reasons, such as to escape reality or numb their pain.

In my case, I turned to alcohol to cope with the misery of life and to hasten my own demise. After four years of alcohol abuse, I now have over five years of sobriety. I never saw alcoholism as an illness, but rather as an excuse.

Thanks to the fellowship I joined, I am alive today to share my story. It takes immense strength to admit powerlessness over a substance and to commit to a life of abstinence with discipline and a positive mindset.

It is by far not just about refraining from drinking and taking drugs but adopting a complete new lifestyle. Natalie Bleau Author
