Untitled #45

I'm on drink number six as I wait for you to show up again But you were supposed to be here an hour ago And once again, I'm not all the surprised Said we could be friends make plans with me There's no talking about it just think about it Do absolutely nothing about it But I'll do this every time in hopes I'll see your eyes

I know where you are That house on Humboldt Avenue I have to walk past it everyday on my way to work the job I got for you, even though I hated it But your little red truck sits in the driveway It's a twisting knife every time I walk by Make it all make believe I'd rather believe in fairy tales and fables

Drink number nine and now it doesn't matter if you because I'm drunk and alone But at least the alcohol turns my thoughts to much Cheap and easy escape I was already on the path but the wrench that you through in my gears sped it up so much-needed

How to Help Someone Struggling with Addiction (Alcohol, Smoking, Drugs, etc.)

Helping someone you care about who is struggling with addiction can be incredibly challenging and emotionally draining.

Here are some steps you can take to help someone on their journey to recovery.

1. Educate Yourself About Addiction

Understanding addiction is the first step in helping someone. Addiction is a complex disease that affects the brain and behavior.

It’s important to recognize that it’s not just about willpower or morality.

Learning about the nature of addiction, its causes, and its impact on the brain can help you empathize with what your loved one is going through.

2. Communicate with Compassion

When you decide to talk to your loved one about their addiction, do so with compassion and without judgment.

Use “I” statements to express your concerns and feelings. For example, “I’m worried about your health and well-being” instead of “You have a problem.”

Avoid blaming, shaming, or criticizing as these can make the person defensive and less likely to listen.

3. Encourage Professional Help

Encourage your loved one to seek professional help.

This could be in the form of a therapist, counselor, or a rehabilitation program.

Offer to help them research options and, if they are willing, accompany them to appointments.

Professional support can provide the necessary tools and strategies for managing addiction.

4. Support Without Enabling

It’s crucial to find a balance between supporting your loved one and enabling their addiction.

Enabling behaviors, such as giving them money or covering up their mistakes, can perpetuate the addiction.

Instead, focus on providing emotional support and encouraging positive behaviors that contribute to their recovery.

5. Create a Supportive Environment

Creating a supportive environment can significantly impact the recovery process.

This might involve removing substances from the home, encouraging healthy activities, and fostering a positive and stress-free atmosphere.

Support groups, like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA), can also offer a sense of community and understanding.

6. Take Care of Yourself

Supporting someone with an addiction can be emotionally taxing.

It’s important to take care of your own mental and physical health.

Seek support from friends, family, or a therapist.

Joining a support group for families of addicts can also provide comfort and advice from others in similar situations.

7. Be Patient and Persistent

Recovery from addiction is often a long and challenging process that includes setbacks.

Be patient and persistent in your support.

Celebrate small victories and remain hopeful, even when progress seems slow.

Your consistent support can make a significant difference in your loved one’s journey to recovery.

8. Avoid Ultimatums Unless Absolutely Necessary

Ultimatums can sometimes push a person further into their addiction rather than encouraging them to seek help.

Use them only as a last resort when the person’s behavior is putting themselves or others in immediate danger.

Even then, frame it in a way that shows you care about their well-being.

9. Educate Them About Healthy Coping Mechanisms

Often, addiction stems from the need to cope with stress, trauma, or other psychological issues.

Encourage your loved one to explore healthy coping mechanisms such as exercise, meditation, hobbies, or spending time with supportive friends and family.

Helping them find alternative ways to deal with their emotions can reduce their reliance on substances.

10. Stay Involved

Long-term support is crucial for someone recovering from addiction. Stay involved in their life and show continuous support.

Regular check-ins and participating in their recovery journey can help them feel less isolated and more motivated to stay on track.

Conclusion

Helping someone struggling with addiction is not easy, but your support can be a powerful force in their recovery journey.

Educate yourself, communicate with compassion, encourage professional help, and provide a supportive environment.

Remember to take care of yourself and be patient. Your efforts can make a profound difference in your loved one’s life.

Whisky and Soda

This old-fashioned Eau de Seltz siphon was a gift to myself a few years ago! And I've been very happy with it, especially when it allows me to mix an uncomplicated, but nonetheless deliciously refreshing tipple on a long afternoon. Like this delightful Whisky and Soda (Bowmore's 10 Years Peated Single Malt Whisky adds to the magic of the siphon!) Happy Tuesday!

Ingredients (serves 1):

90 millilitres/3 fluid ounces (6 tablespoons) Single Malt Whisky (like Bowmore's 10 Years Peated Single Malt Whisky)

2 ice cubes

chilled seltzer water, to top

Pour Whisky in a Whisky glass. Top with seltzer water. You want the Whisky/Eau de seltz ratio to be something close to one third/two thirds. More seltzer would water down your drink; which you do not want. You can have a little less Whisky if you're not adding ice cubes, too.

Enjoy your Whisky and Soda immediately.

anyone Insane enough to go for a lap 2? no? good.

Peppino: “Yeah, good point! Now let’s get out of here!”

Each group dashed out of their respective levels, with the Toppins, Confectis Cashies and Alcoholies following behind.

Gustavo: “You made it! Thank god!”

The groups reconvened, sharing their experiences before heading over to the boss gate

Pepperman: “Now… let’s open this thing!”
