Addiction is a Disability
Addiction is a disease that many people do not consider as a disability.
This is because the disease is a mental disability that is not visible.
People don’t see the struggle inside a person with an addiction.
Instead, they blame a person’s lack of discipline for his addiction.
This is why people suffering from addiction do not often get the same sympathy and assistance for their sickness.
Contrary to this common belief, addiction is not just a matter of choice.
Genetic and social factors that are beyond a person’s control contribute to addiction too.
People don’t just do it do themselves to be an addict.
Help yourself or your loved one recover from addiction today.
Boredom as a threat to sobriety
The rehab treatment programme follows a structured daily schedule.
You will have a daily agenda for meals, group meetings, exercise, personal deliberation, and leisure.
When you return home from rehab, you may find yourself dealing with boredom, which posts a huge risk to your sobriety.
An idle life can be a devil’s workshop.
You can be tempted to make room for guilty pleasures.
To prevent boredom from pushing you to yield into your old bad habits, you need to learn new ways to use your time wisely and more productively.
You can engage in new things by learning a new skill, language, or hobby.
You can play sports or do exercise.
You can focus on yoga, meditation, or mindfulness activities.
You can do volunteer work, start hunting for a job, make home repairs.
Put off your boredom by keeping yourself productive and your schedule busy.
Recovery is hard but regret is even harder.

Addiction is a treatable disease
Most people suffering from addiction think that they cannot be cured.
Some feel hopeless, helpless, and useless.
Contrary to these negative attitudes, addiction is a treatable disorder.
Like other chronic diseases, the treatment for addiction is not necessarily a cure.
Instead, it can be managed successfully like diabetes and asthma.
The treatment involves addressing the physical, mental and psychological problems that cause people to drink or take drugs.
Rehab allows addicts to free themselves from drugs and alcohol, regain control of their lives and learn to love their life again.
Many people have successfully stopped using drugs and successfully build new productive lives.
You are never helpless with your addiction.
Addiction is a brain disease that can be reversed and change through medication, exercise, counselling, and other therapies.
