If addicted to a drug or alcohol, one probably doesn't want to face the reality of it even when they know, deep inside, that they are. The shame and guilt associated by not being able to stop is due to society's perception that an addiction is a character disorder. This is because of all of the crazy things people say and do when under the influence. They are not their real self. They are their drugged selves. Their thoughts and behaviors are those they wouldn't have if their brains hadn't been drugged all these years. Every person who has had an addiction has fully believed that if their use was causing problems, they could stop drinking or using on their own. What they eventually realize, if they haven't died first, is that while everyone else could see the problems, they could not. And now it has progressed to the point that there is no stopping without a specific plan that consists of more than, "I can do this on my own." This is not a stand-alone program for recovery. It serves to set the stage for getting started and taking control of one's life. Leave Me Alone - I Don't Have An Addiction is a starter kit for those who have the mind-set that they can stop drinking/using on their own. It is direct and full of Reality Points designed to get the reader to face facts and the truth about their addiction. It offers several steps and directives to get the addict/alcoholic on the road to recovery.
