In today’s day and age, patience and perseverance are rare commodities. People want fast food, fast service, fast transportation and fast solutions. Unfortunately, fast doesn’t always mean better, and such is usually the case with fast solutions to life’s problems. Just like placing a Band-Aid on a broken arm does nothing to protect or heal the arm, a fast solution may avoid the problem, it may not actually address and resolve the source of the problem, and it may actually contribute to making the problem larger or more complex. Such is the case with individuals who turn to drugs and alcohol when faced with life’s problems.
“The Truth About Becoming Addicted”
Drug addiction can be a complicated problem, especially when viewed by an individual who has had no personal experience with it. Looking for a fast solution, many individuals may suggest, “Why don’t they just quit?” without understanding that such a suggestion is ludicrous at best. In order to help an individual with drug addiction problems, they themselves must become educated in the basics of addiction. The addict himself may also wonder why he is unable to quit using drugs, and likewise needs more information about the many facets of addiction.
“The Truth About Becoming Addicted” is a free booklet recently released by Narconon Arrowhead, with the purpose of enlightening individuals on the truth about addiction. The booklet discusses how the core of addiction starts with problems, which cause the individual to turn to drugs and alcohol for relief.
Some of the most common problems that most individuals face in their daily lives include upsets within their household, job stress and job loss, and financial strain. Unfortunately, many individuals lack the skills necessary to confront and resolve these problems with integrity and confidence. It seems easier and faster to drown their sorrows in alcohol or drugs. But just like the Band-Aid on that broken arm, the problems don’t go away from alcohol and drug use, and in fact can seem to multiply. The individual’s solution is to drink more alcohol or take more drugs, and the cycle of addiction begins.
