The outlook for addicted people is very bleak. Nobody wants to hear that. It’s too disheartening. But the recidivism rate for heroin addicted people is an astounding 80 to 98%!! The Addiction Monster just revels in these statistics.
So what can you do to destroy this monster? This monster who is more vicious and cruel than any of the Chuckys or Freddys or Michael Myers’ or Hannibal Lecters? How can you make sure he never seizes you in his grip and holds your head under water until your eyes start to bulge and you can’t hold your breath any longer and then he releases you momentarily, only to plunge you into absolute fear and hopelessness again?
There is only one way, one sure, proven way to escape this horror and that is of course to never take that first step down that slippery slope!! The Addiction Monster doesn’t want you to know this. He wants you to think he’s your friend, someone who will make you feel good and take you away from whatever miseries you think you have.
But you won’t know true misery, true hell, or true hopelessness, until you have become a slave to the Addiction Monster. Once you’ve joined his legions, your life as you knew it will have evaporated into a dark, swirling mass of regrets. You’ll long for the days when you were just a kid, when your life was overseen by the good people – your parents – and not the dark forces of addiction.
The choice is yours! Your future is in your hands. The time will come when you will be unfettered by parental constraints. All of the wonderful possibilities, the choices, the experiences, the joy of living every day drug-free, the decisions that you will make, await you.
Don’t let your present and your future be held captive by the Addiction Monster for once he gains control over you, your chances of slaying him are a mere 2%. Think about it.
Be smart – Don’t start!
