Deaths that are related to substance use are more frequent than ever, and it\u2019s time some of us take that as a wake-up call. Drug addiction can control our lives, destroy our careers, keep us from our dreams, destroy our marriages and our relationships, and wipe out our identities. Your whole life can be saved if you start seeking treatment. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n

Remind yourself why it\u2019s crucial to recover. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Suffering from drug addiction is not a character flaw or something to be ashamed of, and it takes will power and persistence to quit.
