Comments for Addiction Help from a recovered heroin addict alcoholic http://www.dgswilson.com/wp The Life After Addiction Project Wed, 01 Feb 2012 12:02:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Comment on Online Recovery: Chat Rooms and Forums by wilson http://www.dgswilson.com/wp/2010/08/12/online-recovery-chat-rooms-and-forums/#comment-806 wilson Wed, 01 Feb 2012 12:02:47 +0000 http://www.dgswilson.com/wp/?p=2047#comment-806 Addicts need to want to stop more than they want to continue. Sadly this rarely happens in a pretty way. If I were you, knowing what I know now, I'd give him names and numbers of people who can help (recovered addicts) and tell him to get in touch when he's clean. The number of heroin addicts who stop voluntarily based on some rational decision making process are few and far between. Usually it has to get to the "All Is Lost" place. He has to lose things until it becomes intolerable. Remember that if and when he does make a decision and does what it takes to get off the drug the underlying issues are still there. You may want to find something more enjoyable to do. Addicts need to want to stop more than they want to continue. Sadly this rarely happens in a pretty way.
