At Almost Addicted, we strongly believe that there’s no need to burn it all down before getting services and support as it relates to our relationships to drugs.
Remember stuff happened to us that wasn’t our fault but it still undermines our health:
Mothers who weren’t able to give us the love we needed
Bullying from classmates
Fighting, dysfunction, and addiction in the family
It can also be less dramatic than these examples, but was experienced as scary or overwhelming for you as a child.
The more unconscious and unhealed the trauma is, the more power it tends to exert in our lives.
You didn’t cause these things but you get to take responsibility for the healing from them. And the good news is that you are capable of doing so. The choice is yours.
The good news is that there’s a modern wellness approach to address the “misuse” of alcohol and other drugs. It’s non-judgmental, label-free, religion-free, evidence-based, non-punitive, scientific, supportive, and compassionate.
There’s alternative programming, coaching and even community for those who believe they fit outside the traditional treatment and recovery model.
