The statistics are grim. Something like 95% of all drug addicts are unsuccessful in addiction recovery. With the stakes so high why in the world is it so hard to stop and stay stopped from drug abuse? I mean let us face facts. Michael Jackson is certainly a high profile example of what happens to someone who choices to keep using. The primary reason so many poor souls never make it in recovery is it is not easy. Someone has to change everything in their life. Addiction recovery demands a 110% commitment to completely rebuilding your life. New friends, new things to do and cleaning up your history. It really boils down to how badly do you want to live. Start on the road to recovery in drug treatment rehab

Why Most Do Not Make It In Addiction Recovery
Saturday, September 19th, 2009Recovery From Addiction is Not Easy
Sunday, July 26th, 2009The fact recovery from drug addiction is not easy, is not news. For most people who have found the way out of the hell called drug addiction, it has been a process. That means recovery starts with hitting “bottom”. At that point the person then is ready to do what it takes to get and stay clean. For many, that meant going to drug rehab, then Narcotics Anonymous and making abstinence the number one priority in their life. Recovery is not easy. It might multiple starts and failures, known as relapses, before they break the cycle habitual cycle. Most would agree, the process of long term successful recovery is about change, major league change. Changing the way the addict thinks, reacts and deals with life. And that baby, ain’t easy.
