Drug Addiction: My Dad Was High All Of The Time

By Tina Bacon


Children often walk into living rooms seeing their fathers getting high on drugs. This is a problem that is happening all across America today. People are choosing to do drugs in the wide open where everyone can see. Unfortunately, this kind of drug abuse causes family members to react the same. It is important to understand that everything that you do effects another person completely. Many addicts find that a sobriety program has to help them to get to the next level of their lives. They must see a reason for overcoming their painful past. In some way, sobriety will help them to overcome a lot of the pain that they were once involved in.

If you are like me, you probably want to get sober. You need to get sober if you truly want to feel free. Feeling the freedom from drugs and alcohol takes time. It is a whole new scenario when family members are involved. Children are often the worst hit by addiction. Whatever you do, they will often copy. A lot of treatment centers find that drug and alcohol addicted people often inherited this trait from their parents. It is common that these addictions run in families. Many addicted people say that it is not easy to overcome an addiction. It often takes years for people to be truly sober.

It is important for addicts to find their own path when it comes to sobriety. The founder of Alcoholics Anonymous (Bill Wilson) found his sober path. It was a path that he did not fully understand or even come to know right away. He found that his faith is what kept him sober. He tried going into hospital treatment programs that never worked for him. Doctors even told him that if didn't stop drinking, he was going to die. He found a personal relationship with his Lord and savior Jesus Christ. After that happened, he started to live a sober life.

Your family is counting on you to make the right decision. Families that have addicts living with them often say that they are trying to help their loved one to get better. This is a tough case for most people to handle since they do not understand addiction entirely. Most family members wonder why their dads can't stop taking drugs. It is true that once a person's body gets addicted to a drug such as heroin, they actually crave the drug. They desire the drug more and expect a higher dose each time. The body will need medically supervised detox in order to get off the drug entirely.

A lot of drug addicts find that they are learning more about themselves through programs that teach them how to get sober. If your father is addicted to drugs, it's important to get him some help right away. If you want to stay away from this path, you should try to find a program that offers family support. Many treatment centers find that entire families often have to go through a program in order to be sober. Getting sober is no easy task. It often involves family members working together for the addict's sake.
