There is No Logic to Addiction

A woman who was in coma following drug use, spent a month in intensive care, and narrowly escaped death requested admission to a treatment center. This may sound crazy, but although I know I was on the verge of death, I think I can still use again. This is a person who wishes to live, who has no doubt that drugs are lethal, and yet she has an irrational drive to use again. Temptation can blind a person to inevitable consequences. The young woman is fortunate because she can enlist the help of countless people in recovery. Recovering people say, Don't try applying logic. Use what works.
