Self Improvement Tips - Follow These Tips
Drug addiction is, to a large degree, an awareness problem. The addict is no longer fully aware of what he is doing or what the consequences of those actions might be. This is not Active Advantage to say the addict is stupid. Stupid and unaware are two very different things. But the results of stupidity and the results of being unaware can be the same.
Raising awareness does not have to be a painful or dangerous process. It seems that some addicts will stubbornly refuse to see the truth until they experience some horrific, near-death overdose, or a trip to jail. But the real key is only the awareness. If we can get them to see those possible outcomes and understand that that is the future if they do not change, their awareness will come up just as though they had had a near-miss themselves.
