Addicts

The journey of fighting the addiction for addicts is not only against the chemical drugs or the addiction behaviors, but also against the judgment from the people and the community against the addicts. As Maté (2010) states “were to judge according to ethics and human feeling, we would find the ware abhorrent” (p. 287). The people who are making this war do not see that this war is against the addicts not against the addiction. If they will not change their strategies on this war, they are going

What is an addict? Many would say an alcoholic, a drunk, a drug addict, a pill head, or simply someone that can not refrain from temptations. The exact definition of an addict is a person who is addicted to a particular substance, typically an illegal drug. This is not all that is to an addict though, many addicts suffer from mental illnesses, depression and have suffered a great tragic. You may be wondering what a teenager can tell you about addict and addictions that you don’t already know but

life; they lead addicts to jails, institutions and death. A drug addiction is a disease that leads to complete failure of self. Drug addicts lose everything: family, friends and their own lives due to their compulsive and obsessive use.

former addicts as well as those who are still fighting their addiction are welcomed with open arms. This should be true. Thankfully, in many churches it is true. Unfortunately, welcoming addicts with open arms isn’t something that is happening in every church. In some of these churches, addicts are welcomed but the church doesn’t know how to address the issue. In others, they simply aren’t welcomed at all.

Looking at the evidence now for various methods of treatment execution, it is more of a mixed feeling, gray area, as opposed to black and white.

“Ex-addicts Staying Sober through Sport” by Kathleen Toner talks about how Nick Nisbet and Scott Strode battled their drug and alcohol addictions and were able to stay sober through sports. The article was okay. I admire Scott Strode for sharing his personal success with other addicts by starting a non-for profit program. He knew what it was like to hit rock bottom and for many of us who never experienced a drug or alcohol addiction it was very interesting. I liked that he wanted to help other addicts

I have always been very fascinated in finding out exactly what goes on in treatment facilitates for drug addicts. Visiting Samaritan village was defiantly a great and positive experience.
