The debate about if addiction is a disease someone battles or a decision that someone makes has been going on for generations. People who have never had an issue with addiction often assume that the person is simply choosing to use drugs. People who are in active addiction feel that it’s nearly impossible for them to stop on their own. Is it a choice, or a decision?
When someone you love battles an addiction, it’s important to take the time to be as understanding and supportive as possible. There are many people who just turn their back on someone in active addiction. If you have a loved one in recovery, it’s important to support them as well as you can.
Relapses are common with more than 40% of addicted individuals who are in recovery. This can occur for many different reasons, including injury, the death of a loved one, loss of a job or even depression. When someone relapses, it’s often difficult for others to comprehend because they don’t know what caused the relapse to happen.

According to the indictment, Indivior promoted a film version of Suboxone to physicians, pharmacists, Medicaid administrators, and others across the country as less-divertible, less-abusable, and safer around children, families.
Last night, Veronica and I sat down to discuss how to help a friend who may be on the verge of relapse. What do you do? How do you approach it? And what if it's your significant other?
3. Alcohol, Pancreatitis, and the Gifts They Gave Me.
Some people die from their first bout of pancreatitis, and I truly believe the only reasons I survived was because of all those years focusing on my second passion of working out and playing ball, and more importantly because there was a much bigger plan for me, I just didn’t know it at the time.
