are not relaxed or happy with their drug(s) deprivation, but rather they are resentful and angry. Addicts often ask:” Other people can drink and use drugs. Why can’t I” These episodes of white-knuckle sobriety are not part of recovery; they are part of the active disease of addiction. Detoxification, followed by psychotherapy and/or attendance to self help groups such as NA, is the key to recovery. Psychotherapy, treating the underlying cause of drug abuse, can only be successful in people being free of intoxication and having a clear head. A brain high on drugs is a brain that is dysfunctional. Addicts only need to think about today, about taking care of recovery one day at a time. The longer an addicted person stays in treatment, the better that person does over the long term. Recovery is about allowing us to feel guilt. Guilt means we have committed an action that was wrong or not helpful to others or to ourselves. Many people, therefore, enter recovery with a deep sense of shame. These people enter a period of deep shamefulness as they look more honestly at their past actions. Parents as a barrier to drug use Parents remain the most important influence on children. Parents must make clear that drug use will not be tolerated. Children need to understand that parents are concerned because they love them. Parents need to set a positive example and get involved in their children’s lives and know what they’re doing. Parents need to talk early and often to them about the dangers of drugs. But even if you have a good relationship with your children you might not know the whole story. Drug using teens are unlikely to admit drug use because they often are in denial that they have a problem. Why would you worry or get treated when you’re doing something you enjoy doing Drug testing cuts through the denial of drug using children. “Mom, if you trusted me I would be dead right now.” Otherwise, what may happen is that: “You die, before you get help. That’s the way I’ve lost most of my mates.” We looked at some essential features of drug addiction. The question arises: Suppose every member of society uses illegal drugs, do we still have a viable society When every member of society smokes cigarettes daily, you would still have a functioning society, although this is not a healthy behaviour. Cigarettes are a legal drug, but regulations are necessary, like prohibition for youngsters not older than 18 years. When every member of society takes two alcoholic drinks daily, you would still have a functioning society. Alcohol is a legal drug, but regulations are necessary, like prohibition for youngsters not older than 21 years. One of the reasons why alcohol and cigarettes are prohibited to youth is that these substances act as a gateway to illegal drugs. When every member of society smokes a few joints daily, or takes a few cocaine or heroine hits daily, society, as it functions now, would be severely damaged. Society would no longer be viable. That’s why illegal drugs like marijuana, cocaine and heroin are prohibited. 38
And the best answer to the drug epidemic is the application of strict anti-drug laws, strong societal disapproval, and increased awareness of the devastation drugs are producing. Too many people, especially children, are in trouble with drugs, and it is our responsibility and moral obligation as their caretakers to do something about it. We owe it to them, and to all people that have been affected directly or indirectly by this very ugly disease. Let us unite and fight the drug epidemic, before it gets even more out of control.
