It took me 3 days to whip this together and I hope it gets to those who have a loved one addicted to drugs.

This series is geared to explain drug addiction to those who are non-addicts, dealing with drug addicted family members and/or friends.

It has tons of great info on the subject and I included info on each video, which has links to more info and support so be sure to check them out.

I "kicked" myself, cold turkey in jail about four years ago and it was the hardest thing I ever did, but it was worth it.

I was in jail for 90 days for a DUI and I believe it saved my life.

Ive been to many cushy cozy rehab centers and none of their treatments seem to stick and it bankrupted me and my family.

12 step programs may work for those addicted to alcohol but doesn't work as well with people addicted to harder drugs, due to the brain damage it causes, so please watch this whole series first then choose what treatment is best for you or a loved one.

Relapse is common and is part of recovery, so if they have a slip, don't condemn them for it.

If you want advise "Find someone who has recovered from drug addiction" and "NOT" doctors or counselors who have never been addicted, because they don't have a clue and are mostly full of shit!

Beware: most doctors and rehab centers are there for making money and not treating people!

Cheers
