Why my son, daughter, father, sister or brother become a liar, a thief, someone who cannot be trusted. How could this happen? And why won’t they stop? The first thing you must understand is that alcohol and addictive drugs are all painkillers. They chemically kill physical or emotional pain and alter the mind’s perception of reality. They make your loved one numb. Drug addiction always begins with a problem, a discomfort or some form of emotional or physical pain. For whatever reasons, the person does not have the ability or tools to resolve these problems. They can’t see any relief or resolution. As a family member or a friend you need to understand that. The person tries drugs or alcohol, sometimes both, and that appear to solve the problem. For a while they can hide their pain, unhappiness or discomfort. Soon the person needs more and more to get the comfort from threir drug of use or alcohol. Excessive and or continued use of drugs and alcohol lead to addiction where the person loses the ability to control their drug usage and or alcohol intake and they ignore the consequences of their actions. Addicts will sacifice their personal integrity, their relationships with friends and family, their job, their home, their savings and anything else they may have in a desperate attempt to get more drugs. The addict is now stuck in a vicious descending spiral; a life of dishonesty, and all too often, crime. You can make a great difference in the recovery process of your loved one.
