 Got Problems? Tell Someone!Some solitude is important but living without trusted friends is tough, even for those in healthy families and relationships. We share our burdens by telling someone, not carrying the load alone. Risky BusinessIf you really knew me, you would not like me! This is the refrain playing over and over in the heads of so many human beings. The solution? Risk more and let other people into your life. Addicted to Prescription DrugsTaking presecription drugs is not the treatment for alcoholism and drug addiction. You must deal with the underlying emotional and spiritual injury. Addicted to GamblingAddicts may have a favorite substance or process, or several of each, but most addicts are willing and able to use, overuse, and abuse anything available; including gambling. Willingness to ChangeHonesty, Open-mindedness, and Willingness are some of the ingredients necessary for recovery from addiction. Where does sex fit in?Intimate relationships are especially problematic for alcoholics and addicts. Healthy relationships are formed when people get out of themselves and care unselfishly for another. Sex and Fear, Finish that Inventory!Fear causes inordinate trouble. The ironic and sad part is that many of our fears have little basis in reality. Our fears can be removed and replaced with something useful. Gratitude - It's ImportantHow does gratitude enter, or not enter into your life? Brain chemistry changes for the better when we are behaving in a positive way. Happiness and gratitude are a choice. Recovery - Step ThreeFor recovery to be successful and ongoing, we need a Higher Power. Addicts who find themselves in trouble, the drugs not working any more, their lives not working so well, have gotten there by trying to do life on their own. The Ugly VictimSome take on the victim role and milk it for all it's worth, others live a life of victory over their hardships, never letting on, until you get to know them, that they have had struggles. They refuse to play the role of victim.
