Addictions are painful, devastating and difficult to understand.
Anyone who has experienced an addiction first hand knows the insanity, frustration and dire consequences that can be result of an addiction.
When we think of addiction we think of alcohol, but of course there are also drugs, tobacco and gambling. Thousands of New Zealanders are facing some perilous times right now, as their addiction has taken hold of their lives and systematically destroying them and their families.
Strong words?....you bet, but true. And to those who are currently facing difficult times due to addiction, some good news……help is at hand.
Perhaps you’re the person in question --- the addict. You may be addicted to a substance or habit which you’re finding virtually impossible to stop. You just can’t seem to break the cycle.
Perhaps you’re a loved one, family member, parent, sibling, friend of someone who has an addiction. Perhaps your son or daughter is abusing a substance beyond their control. Perhaps you’re a son or daughter, devastated at seeing your once proud parent slowly destroying themselves right before your eyes.
