A New Year In Recovery

Monday, January 9th, 2012

What does New Year’s mean to someone in recovery? What opportunities await you in 2012?

As we begin another new year, TV shows, magazines, newspapers and the Web are filled with ideas for creating a new you, keeping resolutions, making changes inside and out. They shout at you with promises of 10 easy steps or five quick tips.

For those in recovery, every day is New Year’s Day – another chance to start fresh, to make positive choices and to claim victory over substance abuse or alcohol addiction. Anyone working a program knows change isn’t a one-time thing, it’s a daily process. There are no shortcuts and no quick fixes. A healthy, substance-free life is hard work. But the rewards are oh-so worth it. (more…)

Addiction Gets the Royal Treatment As Princess Kate Picks Charities

Friday, January 6th, 2012

Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, includes a substance abuse treatment organization among the charities she plans to champion.

A princess may seem like an unlikely proponent for drug treatment, but Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, has included an organization that helps those struggling with addiction in the short list of charities she plans to champion in the service of her country.

In a first step toward carving out a public role for herself separate from her husband, Prince William, the newly minted royal announced Thursday the UK charities she has chosen to support as patron. The list includes the Art Room, a group that provides art therapy to children, the National Portrait Gallery, East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices, the Scout Association, and Action on Addiction, which runs a network of addiction treatment centers across England.

Steven Tyler Dispels Relapse Rumors

Monday, November 14th, 2011

As those in recovery know, a fall is never just a fall. The Aerosmith frontman found a recent accident required more explaining to quell any relapse rumors.

Even after a successful period of recovery, an addiction past can haunt you in weird ways. When Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler recently suffered a painful fall in a hotel bathroom in Paraguay, he found he had some explaining to do – even more than the average celeb.

The 63-year-old American Idol judge took to NBC’s Today show to set the record straight. According to Tyler, he wasn’t battling a relapse, he was battling food poisoning and began to feel nauseous in the shower. “I started to get sick, and I just fell on my face,” he said. “I just passed out.” (more…)

Misconceptions Persist When It Comes to Addiction

Wednesday, September 21st, 2011

National Recovery Month aims to bring hope to the issue of substance abuse, despite a continuing perception problem.

It’s National Recovery Month, a time to shine a light on the problem of addiction and celebrate the heroes who are winning their battle with substance abuse every day. Unfortunately, unlike cancer or heart disease, substance abuse must overcome a perception problem that has many viewing it as a character flaw rather than a disease. When it comes to addiction, there’s the erroneous thinking that the sufferer’s behavior alone is to blame, that addiction is a matter of choice. For those who heroically fight every day to stay sober, they know that couldn’t be further from the truth. (more…)
