Hello And Welcome To The Truth In The

week that I am 14 years clean from drugs and alcohol One day a time with the help of other alcoholics and addicts. We thought we would dedicate episode of the truths to addiction how it affects me how it affects you how affects society as a whole let’s have a look some true news on addiction in fact segment tonight. According the federal government drug overdose deaths surging especially among those using opioids like heroin and pharmaceuticals. Last year, more than 33,000 people died from using opioids, including nearly 13,000 who Oded on heroin by comparison, gun homicides in the UK killed nearly 13,000 people fitara of course using its assumption say guns comparatively don’t kill that many people but there’s nothing funny about how many people would die of drug related deaths since 1980 deaths from drugs alcohol mineral disorders. As tripled in the United States of America and in England and Wales their record highs at the moment.

One In Seven.

Americans will experience a problem with alcohol or drug issues in their lifetime. 20 million people in the states have current substance use disorders and so many people die from an overdose every day, but only 10% of people with addictions ever receive any sort of help towards recovering recovery of course being the partner to the problem of addiction and the aspect of it that interests me most there many like economic conditions social conditions that lead to drugs much worse to be a drug addict. If you’re poor will probably have a worse experience of it base of disease that affects people right across all strata of society and aside from the substance, misuse, demonstrations or symptoms or realizations of the condition. There’s people that have.

It In Behavioral Areas Such As Around Sex

gambling food, all manner of babies can be driven by this compulsion What is this need? What is this thing that people are trying to medicate a swatch and deal with to such an extreme degree in which negative consequences. Some believe the reason for all that hard drug use is that the Obama administration is played down the danger. It’s not that let’s just play down the danger. I think there are many many economic factors and as I’ve mentioned to you before In Marxism. It says because I’ve done ten minutes of a course now that as well as the sort of economic inequality that capitalism induces.

Theres Also The Sense Of Alienation And Despair,

and when with our statistics of in the last 40 years deaths from mental illness, drugs and alcohol tripling that’s an indication that people are feeling a deep deep well of despair and pain and of course, like a show like Fox News is going to editorialize towards making it sort of a bipartisan political issue where you buy bomber administration has played it down, but we know it’s a much broader social problem like I feel pretty confident that if you’re watching this you’re probably yourself cause I’m sort of a dick. Initially well you know someone is affected by it and the positive side to it is that there is a solution to addiction. The problem is is that the conditions that create addiction are getting worse and worse and more and more common. So you’re more likely to deal. with it and the message of recovery is not being received.

Its Not Being Talked About And

we’re creating a society where addiction is almost one of the most obvious cures to the problems of being alive today that message from the president has gotten through and many in this country. It’s not a big deal anymore to become involved with hard drugs, so what we have in America is a soft policy toward hard drug involvement and that’s why drug overdose deaths are surging it’s interesting the point that you intersect with crime like is it a crime to do drugs? Is it a crime to take drugs? Is it a crime to create a society where drug use is necessary and necessary palliative to the problems of being alive in the world and if you have a utilitarian approach that means a useful approach an approach that’s designed. to solve the problem? Then you have to start thinking what is it that would actually address this or alter it And there’s a lot of talk about how inequality and poverty exacerbate drug abuse? Is it a lot of talk about our incarceration is as a tool of managing sort broad social problems is a really interesting quote. It was a few piece of information you won’t mind like the government spends tens of billions of dollars on policing and incarcerating drug offenders ineffective economically. Then is a very curious and fascinating and sober, intuitively honest quote from one of Nixon’s advisors President Nixon 70s in case you’re a young person John Ehrlichman, who in a recently unearthed interview said that the war on drugs was created as a political tool to fight black people in hippies.

This Is A Direct Quote From

this Elric menu I won’t try. and do an impression opposite areas like you understand what I’m saying he goes. We knew you could make it illegal to be either against war or black, but much of that mean we can’t make it illegal be against work at all no. I don’t think we can can we make it illegal to be black off no sadly no but I gave the public to associate both hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin and then criminalizing both heavily we could disrupt those communities we could arrest their leaders raid their homes break up their meetings and vilify them night after night the evening news did we know you’re lying about drugs Of course. We did that’s the kind of thing that makes tremendous sense to a lot of people that have looked into the laws around addiction and the problems around addiction.

But Its A Mental And Social Is

a social disorder to a point, but it begins as a mental and emotional with spiritual disorder. People that take drugs and drink to excess are trying to deal with a spiritual pain and emotional pain and these could be spiritual emotional pain is deeply exacerbated by the materialistic conditions that we live in living in a world. We think that your problems can be solved by consuming in some way or another in a way. Addiction is just the extreme conclusion a natural end point to a culture that tells you that all of your problems can be resolved by purchasing, acquiring and consuming the more and more. You recognize that problem speaking.

From Personal Experience, The More You

recognize that you can’t reach any kind of spiritual solution by consuming the more. It seems obvious that you’ve got tried more more extreme measures to deal with your inner malady joining us from Washington Charles Krauthammer and you say I think Obama simply flex the zeitgeist the general feeling over the last 10-15-20 years that drugs are a personal choice that we should be stigmatizing. It’s very important to stigmatize certain things stick was never gonna work. We need some more stigmas surely not the answer and also there’s such a tendency towards conservatism and control like that that’s always seen as the solution to everything just control things is because people have been told to taking drugs is fun just for a moment. I once did went on a drug raid and into a crack house and it was like.

Kicking The Door In Of A Cancer Ward

It really want people to write you criminal scum is what least much messed up people talking to the police. I was doing it with a scientist. This feel right to you really, but it is the law. We our job is to enforce the law. I said stigmatizing it and ignoring the fact.

I Dont Think This Bloke Could

have walked into that place that’s. Why education compassion is so important because when you spend time looking at people at the arse end of addiction is pitiful and when you de stigmatize certain things you get more of it. For example, you know when we were growing up in the 50s and 60s single parenthood illegitimate. She was considered something that stigmatized you not way open anybody so it’s like Johnny I’d like to do yes I might raise a child. Go on without any help from another person? A potential breadwinner MmM we better stigmatize that because that brilliant idea of yours may just take on and there was a social norm against it.

You Can Do All You Want With Laws,

but when social norms erode that’s right that’s exactly the way I feel about how the twerps a bear took the rat drugs. We look a pair of him you know was the put in talking to their vet anything exact there and they’re pontificating and wondering about stuff. I’ll tell your first ad with is if you feel really really sad and you can’t cope with the world and then there’s substances. You can get your adds up to take you away from that feeling you’ll do it and if it works you’ll do it more and more and more and if it’s expensive if you’ll do. What it takes to get your answer that substance? It’s not complicated the only things that stopped it was recognizing one that it didn’t work two that it was possible to live it in wine fruit.

If I Accepted Help It Was Possible

to change. There’s the argument right there well. I didn’t it is to sort of bigoted guys in suits at a studio tell me what are some of us also as you know there is a move to legalize marijuana all over the nation and if you think that hundreds of thousands of people have not graduated from pot to hard drugs. You’re an idiot let’s talk you feel early on that point, but as my tax personal experience of track Yves was graduating from Merrill. I’m at the hard drive so on that point.

At Least I Do Agree With

Bill UK but where I differ. Is of course that what’s required to treat it not from some eerie very touchy-feely perspective but from a practical perspective is to understand why people are using drugs and to start treating the problems that lead to it. We’ve got there’s lots of information about how poverty and social conditions exacerbate drug use, but regardless of where you’re from its weight. If you are a drug addict or an alcoholic it doesn’t matter where you’re from it doesn’t matter what you need to find is a personal solution.

My Experience Is That I Need

the company of other people in addiction. I need to recognize that I have a kind of a self-obsessive nature that can’t be dealt with unless I embark on some kind of spiritual program one day at a time, and that I need to treat myself and other people with compassion so all of. sort focus and obsession on the substance is almost irrelevant when I think back to how I was when I was sort of like you know in my 20 years in late teens was a drug addict. I was still basically quite sweet.

Its Quite Funny, Definitely A Bit

weird and peculiar. The problem was is there was no information or education available and no system that always being taught for not taking drugs. I didn’t know an altar a way to deal with addiction.
