Have you ever been an alcoholic or drug abuser?

How did you overcome the problem? Did your family and friends help you out with your withdrawals? Were your friends supportive or did they make it harder for you to quit?? What advice would you give to someone that is hooked on heavy drugs or booze for that matter?It is hard to see family and friends turn into totally different people. Booze can make the nicest little kitty turn into a viscious Lion. Drugs can make you turn your back on those you love and forget about everything all together.

Addiction is both a physical disorder and a psychological disorder. Some people suffer from physical diseases like infections. A disorder is similar to a disease, although not exactly the same. However, both can be either cured or controlled by medical therapy or by counseling. It is good to help people when you can help.

Well, I personally, have not. My father, used to be both. It screwed up his life, and his marriage. I see what it did to him, and I definitely don't want to go down that path. He is doing alot better, now, though, which is a good thing!

I have never had a problem but I have family memebers that have/had. I think that they just have to realize that they have a problem or give an intevention to them.

No,I have ever been in this problems.It seems that growing stress and also family problems can cause these problems.Especially those who have great depression at the moment.I think they need a doctor to help them and assist them in order to heal their mental and health problems.

i had a friend who does.. It sure does help if you have your family and friend's support. I drank a lot but not too much... It usually happened when there is an occasion and friends will invite you. It's only you who will choose from where you wanted to be.
