One of the addict/alcoholics biggest hindrance when seeking freedom. You’ll be shocked!

Recently I joined over a hundred therapist, counselors and clinicians that work in the field of drug and alcohol recovery. We were all ask to write down a list of obstacle facing the addict/alcoholic that seeks freedom from their addiction? The #1 obstacle turned out to be the family member, or love one, or friend.
Why should a person surrender to God or the process of recovery if they can detour and run to someone that knows nothing about the healing process?
Because I work in Christian recovery, Christians are very susceptible because they feel it is their God given right to help, and 99.9% of the time they are right! But what they should do is direct them to professional help and walk away. (very hard to do)
Take your God shoes off, God needs no help!

Chime in and tell me what you think!

You need a power greater than you!

Once you cross that find line into addiction you will never be able to sociably practice that activity again. You have now crossed over into a world that is governed by a power that is much stronger than you'll ever be. Many people try to control it but they never make it. The idea of giving up something so close to them is unbearable. So they try plan "A" plan "B" and so on until they've used up the whole alphabet. It's like loosing a friend, and to have a "outsiders" family members and friends tell you to let it go is ridiculous! What do they know, your grown!
The world you've entered in is ruled by a spiritual power that can be only defeated by another spiritual power. Until you surrender, throw up the white flag, and ask this power to fight your battle you will ride this never ending merry-go-round where nothings merry anymore.
