You Are the Last Person to Know You Are an Alcoholic!

“It is not how much you drink or how often you drink but what happens when you do drink! The last person to know you are an alcoholic is you!”

Thank you Chris!  It is the little comments like these that sum up true experience and are capable of helping others to enlighten to the seriousness and gravity of the problem of alcohol addiction and abuse.  As you said:  The person addicted is often the last person to realize it. 

Addiction is difficult on a person physically, mentally and last, but not least: spiritually.  When addiction gets bad, the alcoholic may find himself doing terrible things to feed or hide his addiction!  And the addiction takes its toll on loved ones as well – in many ways.

Thank you again Chris. 

To all:  Please submit your alcohol or drug abuse / addiction  comment, or story here.

Drunk Relative Defecates in Bed….

Wednesday, December 24th, 2008

This is the story of a distant cousin.  I believe it was around Christmas time or one of the major holidays.  He stayed at another cousin’s house – also a bit distant.  And he got drunk.  From what I understand he was quite an alcoholic. 

Anyway, he stayed overnight at my cousin’s house and was too drunk to get up and go to the bathroom.  You can guess what happened from the title of this post. 

The worst part?   He didn’t bother to clean it up or even tell anyone about it.  He simply got up the next morning and left the house without so much as a “thank you”.  He left his mess for others to clean up.  I believe they ended up throwing the mattress away. 

This is the power of addiction.  You become so much of a burden on others.  It is a shame…   Don’t let this happen to you or someone you love.  This is the sickness that addiction brings.

Alternative Viewpoint to Alcohol and Drug Addiction

You don't know what pain is....

You don't know what pain is....

Submitted Story:

The old man: Always in his travels, he  passed the bar. Each time he saw the same person layed out upon the grass, passed-out from the influence. The old man surprisingly cussed like a drunken sailor, but then with a quieter demeanor, he spoke with a message. How unbelievable it was to hear his story that we have a shepherd who came to lead us to salvation.

He started returning to the bar frequently. He knew he would find the person lying on the ground. Each time he would take off that person’s shoes, and with a stick, he beat the bottoms of his feet, until one day the intoxicated being- pleaded, “Please don’t hit me anymore I never will drink alcohol again -  for the rest of my life!”

Dear David: Most likely we are headed into what I believe to be  a very long period of (decline) of Humanity. There are many things, alcohol, being one of them-that has destroyed whole families. There are two bars, and a meeting house for people here, and it has a bar in it too. With the exception of high ideals there is no easy choice in helping the situation. When there is an industry, with money to be made, that supports the agenda from the government down to the private sector- there is a problem. It is a battle, and a controlled audience that is whisked away- in a war for the soul.

The Complicated World of Addiction and Control…

Saturday, December 20th, 2008

Last night or rather this morning, I sent a letter out to some friends about this site and the importance of it.   This was the response that I received from one my friends:

“Dear David:  Unfortunately for most a merely (social drink) turns into a habit, and ruins the individual-as well as those  within the influence of  the  imbiber. In the socialist Society, alcohol is called the (opium of the people). So the weakening of the will,and the control of the tyrants -is made easier for them by  a drinking population…”

Very interesting, isn’t it.  Those who seek to control others would like to see us drug and alcohol addicted.  Maybe it is a concept that you would dismiss?  But, in certain times and certain circumstances, it may very well be true. 

Here was the original note I sent out about this site:

Acknowledging that drugs and alcohol is a big problem in our society and in fact, virtually all communities across the world,
 I’ve decided that I want to do something about it.  

Drug and alcohol abuse is a serious problem and I believe it will  continue to grow – and it will attempt to engulf our children and  other vulnerable loved ones.   This is a problem that will not find a social or community based  solution.

 However, there is a way to fix it.  But it is merely on the  individual level.  This is because each person has a choice to be addicted or not. Yes, it takes a strong will to break an addiction – and to keep  that addiction broken. But it has been done before and can be
 done again – if only the will is there.

 That is why I created a new site.

 Please join me by reading the stories and possibly sharing your own  at :

http://www.drugabusefocus.com/add-your-drug-or-alcohol-story/

 You can do it anonymously too – Unless you choose not to.   Sharing your story will be good for you and good for others too.
 But if you are content just to read the other stories there  already – by all means, feel free.

 Please help by spreading the NEWS about this site.  Together we can build a resource that will serve all communities  world wide by sharing stories – good and bad – in order to help   people see and understand the reality of drug or alcohol use and  abuse.

Drug Addictions and Alcohol Addictions Harm & Destroy Human Lives

Let's Trade....

Let's Trade....

Years after I left my home town I returned only to learn about some really sad stories.  I kind of felt left out of the crowd a lot of times when I was growing up.  Sometimes I was in, sometimes out.  But that is OK, because what I learned about some of the things happening there is a bit MORE than scary.

Perhaps when you read this, you will think I was naive.  Or perhaps you will be as shocked as I was.  There was a neighborhood in my school district that was a bit far away from mine, yet the kids there were into some heavy stuff. 

As it turns out, those kids, which were mostly male as far as I know, would trade sex to other kids for drugs.  I imagine they also traded sex with adults for drugs too.  

Even as I think of it now, it makes me very uncomfortable to know that was going on.  Who knows the extend of it?  I only heard that little bit.   The identities of the people involved are not important nor would I ever disclose them even if I did know the names of those involved.   But my heart is saddened by the news of these stories. 

If you know of stories like this one,  please share them anonymously (of course).  The reason to share them is to help others understand the vulnerabilities that drug addictions create in us.  We have to help others to understand.  In that way, we may be able to prevent more sadness like this.  

Human beings should live with dignity and not be subjected to having sex with someone they don’t want to have sex with, just for the sake of feeding an addiction.   Sex was created to be an act of love and procreation, it is not or should not be an item of commerce to obtain drugs and / or alcohol in order to feed a sick addiction – or feed the depravity of a dealer for that matter.
