I beleive this post is extremely interesting because it is from a man who was about to kill himself because he felt himself to be worthless.  Drugs were no longer able to hide his feeling of worthlessness.  He had to do something – could he kill himself?

This alcohol addiction story is quite interesting:  http://www.drugabusefocus.com/161/

The man who wrote this who shall only be known as ‘Viking’  stated that he started drinking at the age of 12 years old.  The interesting part to me is that he knew the very first time he drank alcohol that he was an addict. 

He also challenges everyone who has an addiction that ‘he knows they know they are addicted’.  There is no room for denial.  – A very interesting post.  Please only submit your comments at http://www.drugabusefocus.com/161/alcoholic-first-time/

Thank you,

You Are the Last Person to Know You Are an Alcoholic! – This is an interesting perspective from Chris. It is short but to the point and it has generated a bit of interest in the form of comments from others.

Addiction and Self-Esteem or Self Worth – This one is a fascinating insight. Her belief is that addiction is really an expression of self doubt / self-esteem and not seeing the greatness in oneself.

Drunk Relative Defecates in a Bed at His Cousin’s House - Truly gross.  But this is an excellent example of the problems that alcohol abuse can cause. Consider in particular what this relative failed to do.  It’s as if he couldn’t even acknowledge that he did something wrong.   If you have a relative that drinks to excess all of the time, tell the story.  Leave your comments there. 

As always, please submit your alcohol and drug abuse and addiction related stories for the purpose of helping others to understand the problem of addiction, to offer hope and to inspire and motivate!

This is tragic.  I cannot imagine the feeling of knowing that drugs I bought were feeding the enemies of America and that money could come back to me or my neighborhood in the form of a bomb, missile or other terrorist act.

They typically steal from their family members or from friends.  The problem is that they cannot get away with it forever.  Once the family member or friend realized they have been lied to – it’s over and a bond of trust has been broken – most likely permanently. 

I feel sad and that is why I want to do something about it.  That is why I created Drug Abuse Focus.  You can help too.  Here is how:

Vicki’s life was cut short in a very sad way.  There was irony in the story – but there was nothing funny in it. 

She was a good person.  We all miss Vicki.  

You can read Vicki’s story here.

It’s been many years since then, but I’m still sad about the story.  I think you will completely understand why.

Everyone has a story about alcohol or drug abuse / use. 

 Please share your story to help or to warn others.  

I understand that breaking an addiction is tough.  But there are success stories out there.  I hope that anyone finding this blog will share their stories over at : http://drugabusefocus.com .  I think it is vitally important to share because this can provide inspiration and hope to others.

Anyway: here is the story about the crazy drug user that visited a coffee shop I once frequented:

The drug market is huge; it is very big.  It is world wide and you have no idea where your dope comes from.  Who has handled it.  Who has cut it with what – oh, that is another topic, isn’t it. 

Here is a scary scenario I thought up:  What if terrorists were to strike an attack on your home town, killing people you love and the attack was in part funded by the very money you spent on dope?   Talk about a total mind ****.
