I was contacted yesterday by the representative of a drug addiction center, because of the information I shared on my blog and other sources. She wrote, "I came across your website while searching for organizations to reach out to about addiction awareness. The educational research, resources, and information that you are providing is honestly quite remarkable. Your site provides these valuable tools for those not only in Florida, but those in need all over the world seeking the information you are delivering. I really like your most recent post on Facebook about shattering the stigma of substance abuse. It’s so important to educate people about addiction and recovery. Thanks for sharing!"--http://www.addictioncenter.com/
This is not the first person who has contacted me from a facility and I am glad that my information is seeping out into the world. When my son was having problems, it was difficult to find the right advice and treatment for him and even now I wonder if everything we did was helpful. When you are in a crisis situation you grasp at straws and take whatever is offered. My hope is that some of the information I relay will help just one person to find what they need.
I am working hard to finish my memoir and have it available for the public, so that maybe this too will help someone realize that there is hope. My son has decided that he would like to read the memoir before it is released. I have fears that it will set him back into a dark place, but I have to let him choose. The story is mine, but it is also his, so I want him to have a say in its development. Keep your fingers crossed that he doesn't digress or forbid me to publish it.
Remember addiction can be a multitude of things. It is not only drugs, but can be cutting, gambling, and video games. Some addictions are more dangerous than others. If you believe you have an addiction reach out and get help. You only need to Google-addiction help-and you will find a plethora of information. If you are not sure whether you have an addiction, check out this extensive site below on all the addictions from a-z. Who knew there were so many?
