It’s like a house on fire, you discover the fire you react quickly trying to get everyone out doing anything and everything you can so that everyone is safe and sound. But afterwards you need to investigate then mediate the cause so that it doesn’t happen again.
Same with addiction, we discover what they are doing and we react quickly and frantically trying everything and anything to exhaustion to get them to stop. And if by chance they do, the root cause still needs to be investigated and mediated……………and only they can do that and only if they truly want to change their lives and are making themselves a priority to do so.
As it’s said there is always hope….but…hope is not a plan.
