Abuse vs. Addiction-Where Do You Draw The Fine Line?
Posted on | May 11, 2010 | No Comments
We all start out with our journey to seek the best high or buzz that we can imagine for that time in our lives. Some of us choose to use drugs and then there are those that have chosen some sort of alcohol.
We engage in partying with our friends, co-workers, and our spouses and some of us just alone. Some of us, the drug of choice just doesn’t sit right with us, so most of those people stay sober for the rest of their lives, do to either making them so sick or it just didn’t agree with their bodies at all from the very beginning.
These are the fortunate people that will never have to face the huge problem of addiction.
On the other hand, there are those people that the drug of choice they used didn’t bother them at all, and they really enjoyed the feeling they got from using. So they continue on their ride towards a future life of addiction but, they can’t see it coming.
Here is where some of us run into a huge problem. The problem is that we like the feeling we get when using and we do not have any control over ourselves to just do it in moderation or better yet, not at all.

Many people don’t know when they have had enough. The more they use the more they are hooked and the more they want.
So where do we draw the fine line between abuse vs. addiction? I feel that once you have reached that plateau of abusing and step over that fine line, is when you fall into addiction.
Our so called inner friends (our demons) have just taken over our bodies and minds and won’t let go.
These unfortunate people will now have the hardest job they have ever had in their lives to escape from their demons and surrender to their addictions.
Anyone can achieve this large task in their lives but you really have to want it so bad that you are willing to anything to get it done.
I have found that keeping a positive attitude towards your journey to sobriety is one of the most important steps to do first.
So, to sum it all up you first need to admit you have a addiction and want to make a change in your life for the better. You need to crave and want sobriety so bad that you are willing to do anything to achieve it, including possibly a Rehabilitation Center to get professional help.
But, always remember to keep that positive attitude in everything you do in life and you can achieve anything you wish including
Sobriety!
