Addiction and Self-Esteem or Self Worth

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008

Linda wrote in to share: 

“The problem is not the addiction itself but the deeper issue of how the person sees himself. I believe we need more programs to assist people to see the greatness in themselves, to build up their sense of self worth, to discover that they too occupy a valuable place on this planet.

No one is here by accident. We all have the opportunity to start again IF the individual really wants to improve their life. Help will always appear if the want is there. David, you are a beacon in the dark for those who want to live in the light.”

Thank you Linda.  Your words are very powerful and I believe they will help people who come to visit this site.   And I agree with you – many times what is hidden behind an addiction is an insecurity or low self-esteem.   Sometimes, there may be other things at play.  But many times it very well could be an insecurity and a person’s sense of self worth. 

I had a friend who was a psychologist and most of his practice was based on improving a person’s self worth.  He had techniques that people could use to improve their self esteem.  Some of his ideas were very interesting…

  Thank you again Linda.

Interview with Drug Dealer’s Ex-Girlfriend…

Drugs Hurt Everyone

Drugs Hurt Everyone

Question:

Do you know any drug or alcohol related stories?

Answer: I had a boyfriend long ago.  I did not know that he was taking drugs and selling.  But, at the moment I realized this – I went away.

Question: Yes, and what happened next?

Answer: Have not seen him anymore.  Don´t know.  But to be with him would mean that I accept the way he is living.
He takes money for something which destroys people.

Question: Do you think he should pay for his crimes?

Answer:  He will, I´m sure.  Because he takes drugs himself.  Otherwise, there are some other [higher] powers.

Question: Do you know any of the people that he has hurt?

Answer: No.  But I heard from other people he did.

Question:  How do you feel about drug use in general?

Answer:  It’s a way to eliminate feelings, or to get great feelings for a moment – to forget the world and life.  But,  for this you have to pay a big price.

Question: And do you think it is good for people to forget for a while?

Answer: Maybe a way of meditation is a better way. It is in your control. You are not controlled by something that you cannot get rid of anymore.

Drug Sales Aid The Taliban Terrorists

Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008
Terrorists Sell Drugs

Terrorists Sell Drugs

Not long ago, I reported my suspicion that terrorists were selling drugs that ended up in US citizens hands in a double expression of hatred. 

First, they enjoy hurting US citizens via drug addiction.  Second they use the money coming from the drug trade to Americans to feed their terrorist machines.  

Well, earlier today, and I apologize for not having a link handy, I read an article on CNN about an Afghanistan Taliban who had been extradited to the US to stand trial for drug trafficking. 

I don’t remember if it was heroin or opium but he was actually caught on tape expressing how much he loved selling drugs that were destined for America – because he hated Americans.  

The judge threw the book at him.  He pleaded for his wife and child and asked for just a few years because of them.  The judge countered that he pleaded for his wife and child but expressed zero remorse for the lives that he harmed with his drug trade and for being a Taliban.  

He said that ‘everyone’ in his village sells drugs and that you cannot live if you do not sell them.  

So there you have it.  Again, I apologize for not having the link but I clicked off the story and couldn’t find it again.   

So you see, if you are addicted to a drug, it is very possible that your money is actually helping to feed terrorist organizations who will use the funds to attack and kill more Americans – because they hate us.  In addition, they enjoy seeing you addicted so that they can harm you in that way too. 

Don’t let them take advantage this way.

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.
