Q&A: Addiction Is Genetic. Recovery Rates Are So Slim. Addiction Causes Most of the Worlds Problems. WHY Don’t We..?
Question by Having a Bad Day.: Addiction is genetic. Recovery rates are so slim. Addiction causes most of the worlds problems. WHY don’t we..?
Addiction is genetic. Addiction leads to homelessness, spouse abuse, child abuse, neglect, child abandonment, and destroys a child’s fragile little mind, leading them to destroy their own offspring, repeating the generational transmission of trauma over and over again.
Recovery numbers are so very small… The damage that these addicts do to their children, their family, their friends, their community, their SPECIES that their “Recovery”, if it is successful, doesn’t come NEAR to making up for the horrible things they have done.
Why on earth do we refuse to talk in realistic terms about addiction and the damage it does to the world?
WHY do we continue to swallow the nonsensical platitudes about “You have to WANT to get sober and if you WANT TO, you WILL!” as if it is simply a matter of “Saying No”?
Addiction is based in damaged biology… The way the brain is hardwired!
Saying that an Addict should just think happy thoughts and put down the meth pipe is like telling a Schizophrenic to “Just ignore the voices”.
WHY do we not just put a bullet in these people?
WHY do we KNOWINGLY ALLOW them to abuse their children?
WHY do we tell ourselves that it “Isn’t our business” if alcoholic dad beats his wife and child?
WHY do we leave meth-mom alone when she screams “HOW DARE YOU tell me how to raise my child! HOW DARE YOU tell me that my lifestyle choice is ‘child abuse’? I NEVER get high ‘in front of’ my child! s/he doesn’t know I’m high!”
WE KNOW what causes addiction.
WE KNOW that addict moms and dads lead to disturbed kids that will repeat the cycle of chaos and trauma without a LOT of help.
So why is the subject of HELPING THESE CHILDREN OF ADDICTS taboo?
Personally, as the child of an addict, I would personally go door to door and put a bullet in the skulls of each and every addict/alcoholic. I would be doing the world a SPECTACULAR service by removing these victimizers from the planet.
How can we be so selfish as to allow people that are genetically hardwired to abuse their kids and destroy lives to continue?
