My Dad Did Drugs: Now I Do Them To

By Eddie Bird


Children often walk into living rooms seeing their fathers getting high on drugs. This is a problem that is happening all across America today. People are choosing to do drugs in the wide open where everyone can see. Unfortunately, this kind of drug abuse causes family members to react the same. It is important to understand that everything that you do effects another person completely. Many addicts find that a sobriety program has to help them to get to the next level of their lives. They must see a reason for overcoming their painful past. In some way, sobriety will help them to overcome a lot of the pain that they were once involved in.

Drug and alcohol treatment centers often have a unique approach to treatment for drugs and alcohol. Each treatment center offers someone the opportunity to get help via 12 step or holistic. Many treatment centers find that they have many reasons why they are successful. Children are often hurting for their parents. Growing up, they watched them getting high on the couch and shooting up heroin. Unfortunately, many children grow up to be drug addicts themselves. It is estimated that 1 in every 4 adults will become addicts if their parents were addicts. That is a high percentage being we live in one of the most educated countries in the world.

Many dads these days are trying to be sober for their family's sake. They know that if they keep on taking drugs, they are going to die. They will leave their children all alone in this world without a father figure. It is important to always think about the people that you are affecting when taking drugs. You can get the help that you need by taking the initiative to get into a program that will help you to get sober. You have to make the choice as to when it's the best time for you to go. Most often, it is right now.

There is an interesting connection between sobriety and our faith. Many people find that our faith brings us into an inner knowledge that everything is going to be okay. When we feel like God is fighting for us, we get good examples of things happen for us. In the light of all things, good things always seem to be happening in the world that we live in. We often feel lost and then something begins to happen for us. We begin to feel like our lives are happier and actually free. In the end, we end up winning.

I believe in sobriety 100%. You must encourage your family members to go to rehab if they are having a problem with addiction. It takes an entire families help to get the addict into a program that works well for them. The world is full of people that are hurting from addiction. If you are a father, please take it upon yourself to get help. Your child needs you to show them the way to sobriety. If you have an addiction, they will often have an addiction as well. Everything takes time to figure out and sobriety is often the best way of getting help for you and a loved one.
