‌  ‌  ‌ Lisa Busby - A Mother's Story of Tragedy and Hope Not only did Lisa Busby deal with her son, Cannon’s addiction for 12 years but now she has to deal with his death due to overdose. This is something that we feel very deeply, being parents to two sons. One of the purposes of this podcast is to ensure that no parent has to lose another child to addiction. However, Lisa still has hope because Cannon never lost hope; and so she is starting a foundation to help addicts get the help they need.

❓Are Your Reasons to Recover Selfish?

 

If I asked you what motivates you to stay sober? What would you say?

I find that in a lot of recovery circles, there seems to be a strange unwillingness to admit that we get sober so that we can live better lives. For instance, if I were to tell you that I got sober so I could:

1. Travel more
2. Find a better job to be better provide for myself.
3. Prove other people wrong about me who used to call me a loser or a “junkie”

What would you think about me? Would you think I was being selfish? or self-seeking? or unspiritual?

This is a topic I want to bring up simply because I find it interesting. Many people get sober because they want to be of service to their fellow man and I think that’s wonderful.
I am saying that it is okay to give yourself permission to get sober so that you can get your life back. Life is meant to be enjoyed. Sobriety brings us peace and serenity and most of all, it gives us options.
What's your "why?" Whats your reason to recover?

​“As soon as I have enough money, I’ll finally be able to reach my goals.”
​

How many of us have said similar things to ourselves? We put off things that make us feel fulfilled in order to meet our immediate needs. Oftentimes, we get so focused on how we’re going to get something accomplished, and we lose sight of “what” we’re trying to accomplish in the first place.

​️ Addicted to Art
​
​Scott built a successful career as an attorney and then eventually tore it all down when his drug use graduated to crack cocaine and heroin.
​After going through multiple treatment programs, Scott landed in a sober house in Florida and got involved in a recovery community. He continued to make time for painting, which he had always enjoyed. His career as an artist blew up after entering a few pieces of artwork in a local show.
​Today Scott is 13 years sober and he's a full-time artist.

My parents were addicted to drugs and alcohol; will I inherit these addictions?

 

As a child of an alcoholic, will I become one?

Hi ,   We answer addiction questions every day at the Life Process Program, and can you guess our most frequently asked question?  They go in this order:   “I was addicted to drugs and alcohol; will I pass my addiction on to my children?” “My parents were addicted to drugs and alcohol; will I inherit these addictions? In many cases, current thinking classifies drug and alcohol problems exactly as permanent biological and brain malfunctions that are genetically transferred to future generations.    We don’t believe that. At the Life Process Program, we simply see people with drug and alcohol problems as human beings coping as best they can with their circumstances. Sometimes their coping mechanisms, while understandable, lead them in problematic directions. And sometimes children will mimic similar patterns in their own lives— but not due to biological inheritance.   And in case that all sounds too earnest, here is a more detailed response to the question of addiction and genetic predisposition: https://lifeprocessprogram.com/alcohol-addiction/faqs/inherit-addiction/   Check it out, and please leave a comment at the space on the bottom of the blog— we want to hear from you!  Talk soon, Zach
