Drug & Alcoholism Help

This site is for those seeking drug help or alcohol help. It is my
view on drug & alcohol addiction and was developed as an AA, NA and
treatment alternative to current addiction recovery programs. It views
drug and alcohol addiction as a choice, not a disease.

My goal is to challenge your view of alcohol and drug use. My hope? To
replace the fear of "a disease" with the empowerment of choice.

If you choose to continue using, it will not be because you are
diseased or lack the ability or knowledge to succeed but rather because
you have not been convinced you can successfully live life without the
use of alcohol or drugs. Keep trying.

Change will occur not out of fear of some insidious and progressive
disease, but because you are alive and realize you have every innate
ability to succeed and be happy and free from alcohol or drugs. With
the proper information I believe this is possible.

The "Forgotten Five Steps" Workbook presents motivational and
practical tools for "recovery" that pull upon the alcoholic or addict's
own strengths when they seek drug alcohol help.

AA, NA and treatment can be beneficial for some seeking drug or
alcoholism help. However, I have met many alcohol or drug users who
just couldn't make it work through NA or AA. They believed in a
different philosophy or life course. They wanted more than what was
offered through traditional treatment programs.

When you decide to seek out drug or alcoholism help you may experience
vulnerability inside. You have for so long denied your true self. You
have relied on drugs and alcohol to get you through life.

Now that you are thinking of eliminating drugs or alcohol from your
life, you may feel defenseless or empty inside. You may not know who
you are. You will be looking for any shred of meaning or cure to lesson
the loneliness and despair inside.

Be careful what you grab. It has to be yours and relevant to your life.
In the end, remember, the alcohol or drug user has to believe their
life will be improved by stopping their addictive behavior or no change
will occur.

Stop Using Alcohol & Drugs

(An Introduction To "The Forgotten Five Steps")
___________________________________________________________________

Parents and family guide to information on drug testing : Drug
Testing Easy Reference Guidebook

This website and "The Forgotten Five Steps" addiction workbook presents
an alternative approach to AA, NA or treatment. It is a self-help
recovery approach that presents empowering and practical information
on how the alcoholic or addict can overcome addiction and move on to
the life they have always wanted.

It is a great place for the alcoholic or addict to start when seeking
drug help or alcohol help for the first time or 10th. It gives insight
into why they may continue to experience alcohol relapse or drug
relapse along with insight into what others have utilized to help them
on their road to "addiction recovery".

Even if you are currently in an alcohol or drug program or attending AA
or NA, this information is an excellent addition to help keep you
motivated and focused.

It is for both the alcoholic or addict and the friends and family of
those who struggle with alcohol or drug use. The addiction
workbook explores underlying reasons why the alcoholic or addict may
continue to drink or drug along with helpful tools and exercises to
help them combat the urges to drink or use drugs. Friends and family
can also gain valuable tools and "quick tips" to help them cope and
deal with the struggles that living with an alcoholic or addict bring.

I will not assess if you have a problem. I presume you can assess it
yourself. If you have to ask the question, I would look into it. I will
not degrade your choice of behavior or give you a disease to battle.

I will often use the term "addict" or "alcoholic" when writing. I only
use it for clarity in communicating with you, the reader. I do not
intend it to be a description of who you are.

If it is a disease you want, by all means keep it. But I believe you
are entitled to and have every right to choose the way that best fits
your "recovery" needs and get the kind of alcohol help or drug help you
need.

I also believe if you want to use alcohol or drugs, that is exactly
what you will continue to do regardless of what information is
presented. That's Ok. When you are ready to stop drinking or drugging,
I hope what I have written will help.

I will not tell horror stories or pass your time with an alcoholic or
drug addict's bittersweet story or threats of severe consequences. You
already know how to use (and are darn good at it) and have probably
experienced many of the consequences. The horror stories told, to
often, become how we define ourselves. We do not have to forever focus
on past pain to earn current freedom.

The advice to follow is not made up. It is from personal experience and
the experiences of others who struggled with an alcohol or drug
addiction. It works and has worked for many who were once struggling
with an addiction. It will empower you to utilize your talents to
change your life forever.

There are vast amounts of information out there on the subject, and my
goal is to keep it REAL. I've seen what can work and I know the
potential each human has and can choose to use, if the desire is there
and the right information and motivation is available.

How does one become so dependent on these substances that life becomes
one misery after another? How do we forget all the wonders and dreams
from childhood and develop this hardened shell of pain and fear? We are
all born with every potential and possibility needed to live a full and
productive life. But not everyone uses or maximizes these gifts. Why?
What happens in this process we call addiction?

I must emphasize that I believe in the value of each person, and like
myself, each must come to terms with who they are, what they desire,
and their own way of finding it. My purpose here is to share what I
have learned in the process and hope that it will encourage others to
do the same. The question I often ask myself is "What statement do I
want to give to the world?" Well, here are some personal statements, as
well as statements by others, that are important enough to share.

As you are reading, keep note of the thoughts and feelings that arise
in you. Open your mind and heart to the truths set forth within this
site. This is the beginning of the journey. This is where the changing
begins. The choices you are about to consider will greatly influence
how you map out the rest of your life. Don't settle, demand more, and
never, never, never, never, never, never, never, give up. It's your
move . . .

Read Feedback From Others

"Contrary to what other programs may have led you to believe, you are
more than a "client" to be treated or labeled with a disease. You have
choices, motivation and free will. Your future depends, not on the
theories and opinions of counselors and doctors, but on that inner
desire you have to be more than you are now."

Drug & Alcohol Addiction Help

I have worked as a clinical counselor in the addiction field for over
15 years and have seen the tremendous strength and determination many
alcoholics or addicts have used to follow their own path to "addiction
recovery" despite surmounting obstacles.

I often hear that in order for someone with alcohol or drug
addiction to recover they must admit they have a disease, are
powerless and will have to forever fight against the "disease of
alcohol or drug addiction".

If they do not subscribe to this thinking, if the alcohol or drug user
does not want to be labeled with a disease, or if they think that they
are stronger than their addiction, they are ridiculed and labeled as
resistant or "in denial" and told they may never recover.

Many of the people I have encountered who struggled with alcoholism or
drugs have not needed years of expensive therapy or endless AA or
NA meetings to rid their life of alcohol or drugs. They simply chose
to quit drinking or using drugs on their own.

It does a disservice to lump everyone in one category. To say that
everyone who over drinks may be an alcoholic and has a disease is like
saying that everyone who gets a headache may have brain cancer. It's
just not true.

Everyone struggles in life at times and may use poor judgment or coping
(i.e. drinking or drugging) but this does not mean they are forever
doomed to a disease of addiction. Re-evaluating their life and
increasing their coping techniques can simply be the answer.

The majority of those who drink or use drugs have recovered on their
own. It is estimated that around 61% of the population drinks in some
form. Of this population of drinkers it is estimated that anywhere
from 5%-8% abuse alcohol or over drink in some way. Of those who abuse
alcohol about 2%-3% are estimated to meet the true definition of
alcohol addiction (roughly about 8-10 million people out of a
population of over 305 million).
What this points to is that most who drink, do not become an
alcoholic. But better yet, it shows that most people who may drink (or
over drink) can recover on their own - they move on and grow.

Some would argue that those who were able to stop using alcohol or
drugs on their own are not the true "addicts" of life. That true
"addicts" would need meetings, therapy and endless reminders about the
cunning disease of addiction. That these people who consider themselves
cured and no longer attend meetings or group therapy are just around
the corner from a relapse and are in denial about the truth of
addiction. I disagree. Just because some people can quit drinking and
drugging and others can't does not indicate that those who can't must
have a disease. Just because one is still struggling with alcohol or
drug use does not mean that the same ability to stop is not present for
them as it was for those that have already quit.

To present to those who seek drug help or alcohol help that there is
only one way to recover (i.e. to believe that in order to recover you
must accept you have a disease) I believe, is to discourage many from
seeking the help they need. People are smarter than that and realize
that they are more capable and competent than simply being at the mercy
at some imaginary disease.

The "Forgotten Five Steps" addiction workbook has been compiled from
the successes of those who refused to give up on their desire to live
an alcohol or drug free life, refused to be labeled with a disease and
have indeed obtained the dream of living addiction free ....

Success in recovery is extremely possible! The ability for the
alcoholic or addict to quit drinking or using drugs is already within
them and this reality should not be forgotten. Keep believing!

Heads up: There's an ongoing spamdexing of Google searchbot algorithms. Sites that are 'copies of copies' and cloaked sites which include Zorgium keywords presented to search engine crawlers yet garbage content presented to human visitors were hosted on thousands of IP addresses and domains registered immediately after the introduction of Zorgium in November of 2009. The Hostgator/'The Planet'/Softlayer datacenters in Texas seem to be the epicenter of this activity in conjunction with anonymously registered domains of various TLD's but primarily .info domains at Godaddy which, in our opinion, has some sort of connection to the domains of goldmint.in and goldmint.org. Google has begun to notice this and has begun to lower the ranking of these sites and put our original sites back on top of the search rankings. These actions, as far as we can tell, negatively impact the use of the keyword 'zorgium' as a search term and provided little benefit, if any, to the perpetrators.
