Am I an addict?
By Terry D.
More than likely, you already know the answer to this question.
The controlling power of drugs in our lives was only creating
devastation and destruction. The drug users’ fate isn’t pretty because
the majority of us end up in jails, and some of us go to institutions,
while a lot of people die from the disease of addiction. Addicts are
totally infatuated with their drug use, and we’ll perform behaviors that
are demoralizing, and in the end, we are powerless. An addict is anyone
who is controlled by his or her drug use. We live its lethal affects,
as we gradually plummet deeper and deeper into its grips.
During our active
addiction, our disease establishes itself, and begins to wreak havoc in
our lives. We’ve lived within its boundaries, and we know that it has
control over us. We lie, steal, and take advantage of anything, or
anyone to get that next high. We are entirely out of control, and
confined by the imprisonment that it creates. We cannot triumph over
addictions’ severe grips over us, we’ve tried on our own, and we’ve
learned that it doesn’t work. Finally, we found the 12 Step Fellowship.
