			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<dl class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 112px;">
<dt class="wp-caption-dt"><img title="Alcohol" src="http://www.collegedrinkingprevention.gov/images/drinks.gif" alt="Stop Drinking so much" width="102" height="102" /></dt>
<dd class="wp-caption-dd">Stop Drinking so much</dd>
</dl>
<p>When I was 23 years old, I had my worst experience with alcohol.  I went to my 5 year high school reunion.  They were serving wine there and I drank a lot.  When I left, I drove the wrong way out of the parking lot towards another city &#8211; far from where I lived. </p>
<p>I was so high at the time that when I finally realized I was going the wrong way I hopped over the medium to get to the other lane.  I was &#8216;out of it&#8217; enough to miss the fact that there was a low concrete median line between the two lanes on the road. </p>
<p>I remember thinking, &#8220;I hope there were no cops around to see that&#8221; . </p>
<p>The next thing I remember was waking up in my own bed the next morning.  I don&#8217;t even remember the drive home after that hop over the dividing line on the highway.   I was hung over for 3 days.   I hated that feeling.  My brain was foggy and I had trouble thinking and focusing.  I knew this could not happen to me again.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s when I knew that I had to stop drinking.   And I did.  I&#8217;ve had very little alcohol since and that was 17 years ago now.</p>
<p>You could say that it was easy for me to reach my &#8216;bottom&#8217;.  A lot of people have to go a whole lot further. I&#8217;m glad my bottom was easy to hit.   It has probably saved my life.  I do not want to think how much worse things could have become. </p>
<p>There is this concept of the &#8216;bottom&#8217; that all drug addicts will probably hit at some point in time.  This is where they realize something like, &#8221; I need to quit this XXXX or I might die&#8221;.   That is the crucial moment.  This is where the personality has to decide, do I care or not? </p>
<p>If you want to live, this is where determination kicks in.  You need to have or develop the will and you need to fight.  The depth of addiction determines how much will power  you will need to triumph.  <a href="http://tobeinformed.com/alcohol-rehab/alcohol-rehab.html">Getting help</a> will definitely be a boost.  </p>
<p>There are many stories worse than this one.  If you have a story to share that can help others, please share it.  On the upper right hand side of this page, you will see a link to submit your story. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.drugabusefocus.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/david.jpeg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4" title="david" src="http://www.drugabusefocus.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/david.jpeg" alt=" The End of Drug and Alcohol Addiction" width="124" height="152" /></a>Well, ok &#8211; that title is a bit grandiose.  But if you think about it, perhaps not so much.  The transformation occurs on an individual level. Others have beat their drug and alcohol addictions before.  Therefore it is possible!</p>
<p>I have many stories to share and it is my hope that others will anonymously post their stories &#8211; good and bad &#8211; about drug and alcohol use and abuse.  I hope that we can build an online storehouse of drug and alcohol related stores to serve as information, warning and a beacon of light to those who would like to escape addiction or those who love someone they want to help. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s not easy to beat a strong addiction.  Perhaps a <a href="http://tobeinformed.com/drug-rehab/drug-rehab.html" target="_blank">list of drug rehab centers</a> would help.  Alcohol addicitons, while perhaps legal, are no less of a challenge. In some ways, they could be more of a challenge because of the legal status of alcohol.  Therefore, a list of <a href="http://tobeinformed.com/alcohol-rehab/alcohol-rehab.html">alcohol rehab centers</a> may also be useful.   You may find plenty of the same centers on both lists which serves to even further underscore that an addiction is an addiction and alcohol is simply another drug. </p>
<p>Therefore, I encourage all to share their anonymous stories &#8211; please change names to protect all parties and leave out or change anything that could identify someone.  We are here to share the story, not the person behind the story.  If you are a doctor or counselor that works in the field, please feel welcome to share your stories, good or bad, about drug and alcohol abuse or anything related as well.  Everyone is welcome to post their anonymous stories about drug or alcohol abuse.   </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a title="Submit an alcohol or drug story here" href="http://www.drugabusefocus.com/add-your-drug-or-alcohol-story/" target="_blank">Please click here to share your anonymous stories here</a>.</p>
