The journey from addiction to recovery is a long road with many obstacles to get past

There are those who chose to use drugs but never realised the consequences of that and what it would do to their lives .
Drugs have become easily available and at first are even offered free like an open invitation into a new experience hell bent on bringing customers into the illicit drug market place .
If you are one of those who chose to do drugs then you’ll know the cost of keeping a narcotic habit and the effects of upsetting the chemical balance of the brain . It’s sad when we realise too late the damage done to the mind and begin to understand the need to reach out for help .
The harsh reality of drug abuse is that it kills and destroys many lives everyday in the world we live in .
So how many good people might ask can we tackle the addiction of our children who are using drugs .
There are ways to help our kids from going down that one way street .
Life is precious and the sanity of our children must be protected above all else .
Here are some ways you might consider to help your loved ones with an addiction to drugs .
Remove them from the circle of friends who are also using drugs .
Seek out protection in prayer and seriously start combating the effect of what the drugs have done by getting help from the mental health team .
Admission into an institution where there are professional doctors and nurses to help with the withdrawal of drug dependence your loved one has been living with .
Allow the trained professionals and other specialists permission to use ECT and medications , in addition to any volunteers who are willing to pray and provide on going group support , to kick start the long program in restoring the chemical imbalance and sanity of the mind , body and spirit that has become a battlefield for your loved one .
Invite them to share their personal testimonies of the trauma drug addiction brought into their life .
It takes years before any benefit might be noticeable but just be there to help them in that experience .
If they survive drug addiction and the long road to recovery it will be due to your support and strength you give them in reclaiming their life .
Be that person to make a statement about surviving drugs and thank God for bringing back that special someone in your life who surely would have died from drug addiction . Then allow your loved one to be proud of their survival after drug abuse .
There’s a way through and a road ahead for all who loose their way because of drug dependence .
There are many steps along the way however each one taken in the right direction will get there in the end to recovery .
So many young people are in need of help and it’s really important to be there with them in the fight against drugs .
Winning the battle is more than making the right choice it is tackling the problem with the help of others . So if you are wondering what to do to help your daughter or son , husband or wife , brother or sister then step in to the breach and fight the battle with them.
You can be proud as well that you’ve been one of the lucky few to have helped someone you love get straightened out from their time using drugs .
There is help out there . Ask God and all those who are willing and able to join in the fight .
Above all realise how evil drugs are and how much there is to do to win the fight and reclaim someone’s life from what drugs did to them
Too many lives have been destroyed by the use of drugs .
Futures plans were taken away by over use of drugs . People who had good jobs and played sport, those who were in steady relationships lost the ability to love because they loved drugs more .
Even those who had the world at their feet found themselves at deaths door . Those who were very confident and in control of their lives were transformed into zombie like creatures with no friends all because they chose to experiment with drugs .
At first it made them feel good and many of those who were not able to quit because of the effect drugs gave them learnt quickly that it didn’t last for very long because drugs will soon make their demand and that’s when big problems begin .
They will demand it all .
The life of a drug addict may last three years and bring the user a new circle of friends in a nightmare existence where life is a daily living hell .
Don’t choose to use drugs , make a stand and put in a plan to save yourself all the trouble of ending up in some hospital or clinic with the possible of recovery ten years after the addiction ended .
The sad truth is that many never survive and some will never heal or truly recover but with the right people to stand and fight the horror of drug addiction there is hope for recovery .


The End
