Never Give Up!
Addiction and alcoholism are
tricky afflictions. The addict has most
likely deeply hurt the family. Lying, cheating, stealing, job loss,
violence, even criminal behaviors are all symptoms of the addictive
behavior. If these were the symptoms of cancer would you give up? Of
course not, you would try other treatments. You would go to the end of
the earth to find something to save your loved one's life. If you have a
chronic relapse victim in your life you are in the same position as a
terminal cancer patient's family if not effectively treated. The
addict/alcoholic will die or end up in prison. Unfortunately addiction is
viewed all too often in the light of a lack of will power or the addict just
wants to get high and doesn't care about his family. This could not be
farther from the truth. Never giving up should not be confused with
enabling on the part of the family. The enabling behavior is destructive
and must be stopped immediately upon identifying the active addict or
alcoholic. The family must provide treatment options only.
