Why 'alcoholic' is a misleading label:
Jeff's story


Jeff Brecht almost always knew he had an unhealthy relationship with alcohol. But because his drinking didn't line up with his idea of a "typical alcoholic," he didn't know what to think.

Does addiction confuse you?
You're not alone

 

"About 15 years ago, I came to realize that my addiction to alcohol was mostly a mystery to me. The more questions I asked, the more questions I had. I soon learned I had deep misunderstandings about this complex issue.

Q: How can I make sure I stick to my goals for the year?
 

A: The important thing about goal setting and progress, especially for those who are in early addiction recovery, is simplicity. I can't stress simplifying enough.

OxyContin Maker Explored Expansion Into “Attractive” Anti-Addiction Market | The Fix

OxyContin Maker Explored Expansion Into “Attractive” Anti-Addiction Market | The Fix: “It is an attractive market,” the team working on the project wrote. “Large unmet need for vulnerable, underserved and stigmatized patient population suffering from substance abuse, dependence and addiction.”

Long Term Effects of Overdoses on the Brain | The Fix

Long Term Effects of Overdoses on the Brain | The Fix: Despite what we know about how overdoses can kill, there is scant literature regarding chronic health outcomes for people who have survived multiple overdoses.

Stumbling Blocks in Long-Term Recovery | The Fix

Stumbling Blocks in Long-Term Recovery | The Fix: I am a psychotherapist and person in long-term recovery from substance use disorder. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) which is the preferred method to treat trauma.

These people in recovery might be abstinent from substances and attend 12-step meetings; they might be on a maintenance medication like Suboxone or Methadone; they may want to moderate their drinking.
