Dis-ease of Addiction

When people blame drugs and alcohol for all the shitty things they’ve done instead of accepting responsibility for their actions it’s really just a cop-out and a way to deflect accountability. That being said I wouldn’t have made the decisions that put me in prison if I wasn’t strung out and completely out of touch with reality. It was the choices I made while under the influence that ultimately led me to be where I am now. So while I am completely and utterly responsible for the shitty things I’ve done I wouldn’t have done them if I wasn’t loaded. It’s like Dr.Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde. My story isn’t unique, unfortunately. I suffer from a disease that millions of people struggle with globally. Some people think its a choice but for me it never was. I suffer from the disease of addiction.

I’ve been an addict practically my entire life. I first tried smoking weed when I was nine and by eleven I was a full-blown weed head. I was introduced to meth when I was twelve or thirteen and by that time I was willing to try anything to get a buzz. It wasn’t so much a desire to get high as it was a way to escape reality. I kept looking for something to change the way I felt and eventually that turned into obsession and compulsion. Before long I was getting high because getting high was all I really knew how to do. I had years of practice and not much practice in anything else. All the dreams and goals I might have had as a young kid faded away like dust in the wind.

The only true constant in my life is the obsession to use drugs or alcohol no matter what the cost. I’ve traded the most important parts of life, time, and time again for the chance to get high. I’ve put drugs and alcohol above everything else and at times I’ve felt completely powerless to change.

I’m in prison for getting in a high-speed chase on icy roads in a stolen Dodge pickup. I got three hit-and-runs before I crashed and then stole another truck to get away. I had the entire Richland police department chasing me as I eluded them like a bat out of hell. I was drunk and strung out on method and the only thought in my mind was doing whatever I had to do to get away. I look back now and think to myself how lucky I am that I didn’t kill someone or myself. I was caught the next day and charged with two stolen vehicles, three hit-and-runs, and a felony eluding. Those were the choices I made. I can’t blame those choices solely on drugs and alcohol because the fact is there are countless addicts suffering from the same disease as me and don’t make those kinds of irresponsible, irrational, reckless decisions.

Drugs and alcohol are only symptoms of deeper rooted problems in my life and even though being in prison sucks, I thank God for the opportunity to evaluate the behaviors that led me to do the things that put me here and try to get a grip on life and learn to live with more restraint. I’m not responsible for my disease but I am responsible for my actions and the steps I take to deal with my disease. For me, it all starts with accountability.

The experts that offer Narcissism and addiction Recovery say that grandiose narcissism and vulnerable narcissism shows a solid connection to substance use disorders. 

Fluctuating self-esteem and low self-esteem generally lead to the use of alcohol, drugs or any other addictive behaviors like the validation method, which is essential for people that suffer from narcissism. 

When an individual seeks out alcohol or substances to mediate overwhelming feelings, it creates a pattern of dependent behavior which is entirely harmful. In short, you can understand that there is a connection between addiction and narcissism. The similarities between drug addiction and narcissism are that the individual depends on something external to fill the emptiness inside.

Alan Fyfe - author's debut novel, T was launched last night in a fitting literary and musical fashion. It was fascinating to hear the journey that this book underwent from Catherine Noske - writer who launched the book and I have to say I'm still hankering for that full poetry collection in an earlier stage and wondering if it could be a lift-out? Instead, original songs written by Alan Fyfe are included and were magically reproduced by Freo Trio interwoven with Alan's reading. I hear chapter 6 knocked Kate's socks off so am looking forward to that but I have to say page 12 definitely caught my eye with this line of dialogue,

"A circle is a line that meets itself," the corpse said."

and now explains the unusual conversation I was having with Alan and Maddie Kate last night over sushi and drinks generously supplied by the publisher, Transit Lounge Publishing at the wonderful place that is Centre for Stories. Available at Rabble Books & Games and all good book stores.

Addiction Story

Listen to our recent video with Steven Slate, Co-Author, and Co-Creator of The Freedom Model for Addictions. Listen as Steven shares his experience with addiction and how his earlier experiences with various drug rehabs and drug treatments ultimately lead him to help develop a better way for others struggling with addiction. Steven has since become a well know addiction researcher and addiction expert and more importantly, has helped hundreds move beyond addiction for good!
