No, the adults don't have a choice, gts. Alcoholism and drug addiction are not lifestyle choices. They are mental health conditions which are viewed as such by the medical profession. Children who are abused frequently end up with these illnesses. You are simply not understanding what is being said to you by many people on this site.

Hello @Laura99 I know reading this post was about Dealing with Doctors.  I apologise for this. The originator of the post.

Got into about alcoholism. I do and feel strongly about what has been said.

One final point having been in a rehab unit as an out patient it is not ever my consideration to have to say.

This is the truth children can be effected and can be alcoholics.

Youngest I have seen is and met and talked to his Mother in the clinic is ten years old.

First time met and still painful to write about. Asked me as I came in one morning, I recall it now. As she hollered you an alcoholic.

Immediately belted her son across the back of his head in front of me and a whole waiting room.  To every ones horror and disbelief.

All I have is these memories of hurt and harm alcoholism has done to me and those in my community.

Who can identify every thing that has been said. All I need to add we as a community need to understand what is happening in our society.

Understand one of my  stories if I can say this it is alarming.

One organisation that shall remain nameless and have used them. Are clueless in my opinion in dealing with the problem.

Left after two so called meetings and felt very much under whelmed plus asking the wrong questions. In my judgement got and had to leave.

Having me to ask them for support and advice instead felt more liking to relapse due to their negativity.

All I can say there needs to be full education in schools and what should be done in dealing with addiction.

I asked one time to go into schools to talk about history of addiction. Having considered and thought of asking Lottery funding .

So much for thinking and doing. Planning forget it.

It is an epidemic now and have a friend who lost his job in the rehab centre where he works because of cuts.

All I can add is I am alive and manage to cope but have and do have mental issues because of it.  Plus physical the end result of addiction as well. Never forget that every day in pain.

Many community members struggling with addiction.

Support any brother or sister who has been through it and hope they can be inspired to stay off and I can inspire them to help them to stay off.

As I have done for eleven years on going. We all need to follow some one. 

Always here to listen, offer guidance and be supportive.

Pleasure to meet you.

Take care
