My greetings reading friends, Today i would like to discuss something with you on a very sensitive matter. I met beggar in my office who addicted to alcohol.
He came to our office to beg, so i sat him down and started asking questions about him. I want to share it with you guys. My first question to him was how long have you been doing drugs, to which he replied that since I got married . I have been addicted since about 6 months marriage. Then i told him that come tell me something about yourself why you are begging. Before he could say anything, he lost consciousness.
I asked some people there for the address of his house and took him to his housie was very disturbed to see the condition of his house. He had three small children and a very beautiful wife who was very worried about her husband and his eldest son who was about 10 year old.
His wife said that her husband doesn't do any work, he always asks for money to get drunk, if he does not get it from home, he goes outside to beg. We are very poor. There is no reason why we can run our home system. Many days we also have to see tha there is nothing to eat in the house and me and my children just drink water to full our stomach and go to sleep. My husband is a very irresponsible person who fulfills my sexual desire but can't make any arrangements for me to eat and for my children to eat.
Addiction is a very bad curse, we should take care of our surroundings to stop it. A few measures can be followed to prevent any person from becoming addicted.
Helping someone with a severe drug addiction who is experiencing significant health issues can be challenging, but there are steps you can take to guide them toward recovery and support them in improving their health. Here are some suggestions:
Express concern and empathy: Approach the individual with compassion and express your genuine concern for their well-being. Let them know that you care about them and are worried about the impact of their drug use on their health.
Encourage professional help: Urge the person to seek professional help from healthcare professionals or addiction specialists. Offer to assist them in finding treatment options, such as detoxification programs, rehabilitation centers, or therapy services.
Provide information: Offer factual information about the consequences of drug addiction on physical and mental health. Help them understand the specific ways in which their drug use is harming their body and contributing to their health problems.
Offer support: Let the person know that they are not alone and that you are there to support them throughout their journey to recovery. Offer to accompany them to appointments, therapy sessions, or support group meetings.
Set boundaries: Establish clear boundaries regarding their drug use and its impact on your relationship. Communicate your expectations and limitations while maintaining a supportive and non-judgmental attitude.
Explore treatment options: Research different treatment approaches and programs that may be suitable for the individual's needs, preferences, and circumstances. Encourage them to explore various options and find a treatment plan that works for them.
Address underlying issues: Recognize that addiction is often a symptom of underlying issues such as trauma, mental health disorders, or unmet emotional needs. Encourage the person to address these underlying issues through therapy or counseling.
Encourage healthy habits: Encourage the person to adopt healthy lifestyle habits that can support their recovery and improve their overall health, such as regular exercise, nutritious eating, adequate sleep, and stress management techniques.
Be patient and persistent: Recovery from addiction is a long and challenging process, and relapses are common. Be patient with the individual and continue to offer your support and encouragement, even if progress is slow or setbacks occur.
Seek support for yourself: Supporting someone with a severe drug addiction can be emotionally taxing. Make sure to prioritize your own well-being by seeking support from friends, family members, or support groups for loved ones of individuals struggling with addiction.
Remember that ultimately, the decision to seek help and make changes lies with the individual struggling with addiction. While you can offer guidance and support, they must be willing to take the necessary steps toward recovery.
