Highlights in the 15 minute Alcoholism video
FIRST, A Decade long battle
- Alcoholism Disorder (AUD) ranges from binge drinker to daily drinker.
- Alcohol deprivation effect.
- Decade long battle with a monster.
- When it gets you it has you. It’s in control.
- Went to 12 different meetings of AA in two different countries.
- I prayed until my knees were black and blue.
- I probably relapsed close to 20 times.
- Once I started I could not stop drinking.
Then a new approach
- Naltrexone, FDA approved, non-addictive, safe medication, used to treat AUD since 1994.
- The Sinclair Method, TSM, 78% long term success rate.
- Cravings for alcohol subside.
- I poured a glass of wine and it was a miracle.
- World Health Organization estimates 3.3 million people die every year from alcohol related causes.
- 80% to 90% of people who suffer from AUD do not seek treatment.
- If punishment worked, there wouldn’t be any addiction.
- Making people hit rock bottom makes them worse.
- Imagine 78% less alcohol addicted people, 78% less broken families, 78% less abused children.
addicts NEED optionS they deserve.
OPIOID OVERDOSE
“U.S. overdose deaths hit record 107,000 in 2021, CDC says” statnews.com “roughly one U.S. overdose death every 5 minutes” By Mike Stobbe — Associated Press May 11, 2022
If 107,000 died, how many recovered? We don’t know. How did they recover? Wouldn’t it be good to know how they recovered? Most epidemiologists focus on disease, not recovery.
OUR present NATIONAL STRATEGY TO COUNTER opioid overdose
“The national drug control strategy calls for “connecting more people to treatment, disrupting drug trafficking and expanding access to the overdose-reversing medication naloxone.”
A LONG STANDING REPORT ON RECOVERY FROM ADDICTION
Here is what David Wilkerson, the founder of Teen Challenge, had to say,
“Certainly we cannot claim a magical cure for addiction. The devil which hides in the needle, the pills and the powder is so deadly strong that any such claim would be foolish. All we can say is that we have found a power that captures a person more strongly than narcotics but He captures only to liberate”.
Can you give us a personal example of what Mr. Wilkerson was saying? Please tell us your story in the comment below. Or email worknlearninc@gmail.com.
We also welcome reports of residential settings and Christian ministries that help people recover from addiction and call on the power of God.
