Drug Addiction Within family…..Need Help?
Question by Sara L: Drug Addiction Within family…..Need Help?
So i have a cousin of mine that well i consider my first one but he is my mom’s. The problem is that he is on drugs constantly and he does all the hard ones from what he has told me this Saturday when i first met him in 15 years. He seemed to be sober at the time, but everyone tells me just wait and see how he does. I just want to see him after i graduate high school and before i leave for college that would mean the world to me. I just wish there was a way to cope with the fact that i can’t help him not do drugs and alcohol. He probably wouldn’t listen to me but all of this came to me in a little bit of time leading up to me actually seeing him face to face. I love him cause he’s family i just wish i could tell him before he gets himself into trouble and goes back to jail for drugs. Help please?

WOW ChoofMonster for a teachers aid you are very uneducated when it comes to addiction. Absolutly millions upon millions of people have been able to gain control of their lives through the 12 step programs that are out there.
Addiction Education today is much more then applying the 12 step programs. I don’t know where you studied these supposed classes but I can tell you as a current student at Mc Master? University’s school for addiction care that you don’t have a clue.
I have helped those that had been addicted, some have passed on. What was gained was a beer bottle towards? my head and many death threats… I have learned that most addicts do not realize even what addiction is, and label it as a treatable disease?
It’s just one of those things that I rally against – cults posing as cures. They go against the medical model of treatment, and even proven psychological methods of abstention or harm reduction (CBT/RET).
Friends have? asked me to attend such meetings with them in attempts to proselytize me into AA or GA (I never had a drinking problem, and I stopped gambling ages ago).
Yeah, sales of Coca Cola skyrocketed when they replaced the old, mild stimulant (cocaine), with more potent and addictive drugs (caffeine and glucose).
Addiction has a? far narrower medical definition than it does either socially or legally. What passes for ‘addiction’ (eg to gambling or marijuana) are too often compulsions, not addictions.
I reiterate: Addiction is NOT a disease; it is treatable physical illness of short duration.
