Matt S. Sharing his Road to Recovery Through Thanks

ABT received a wonderful letter from a former client, Matt S. Matt has allowed us to share his letter and story here in hopes it may inspire another to reach out and get the help they need.
Good morning! I was a client at ABT from Dec 7, 2009 to Jan 5, 2010. I would have liked to stay longer, but due to insurance and financial reasons, there just was no way I was able to. This was an amazing experience that I will never forget.
Though there were good days and bad, coming out to ABT, from Indiana, taught me about patience and tolerance of others. It allowed me to learn more about the tools/techniques that is helping me in my recovery. It will be 60 days on February 5, which I have been clean and sober. This time around has been a little easier, because I finally became honest/open about myself and have fully admitted I am powerless over drugs/alcohol and my life has become unmanageable.
People need to learn not to look at the differences, but the similarities of each other. We all have a disease of addiction and go through the same program. Now it is up to each person, whether they are committed to wanting the help and accepting themselves for whom they are. They can only make that ultimate decision.
I am so grateful for the entire staff at ABT and want to say THANK YOU! There are a few individuals that I would like to recognize, who had helped me get through the times during my stay and allowed me to share how I was feeling and not judge.
Kim/Counselor-Kim was my individual counselor and I was blessed to have her. She shared her experience, strength and hope, which allowed me to open up to her. She always carried a smile, which brought so much joy to my life. She would be patient and listen to my needs. She helped me work on my individual needs and guided me in setting up a relapse prevention technique, which has allowed me to be open/honest with myself and others. I am so grateful to have been in her presence. She is truly an inspiration in my life and will be to others.
Brian/Therapist-Brian was my individual therapist during my stay. Brian always opened the door whenever I needed to talk to him. He helped me get in touch with myself and really try to figure out what was hurting me so badly. He allowed me to share things that I have never shared before. He was not there to judge, but to be a sounding board and someone who could help guide me in getting more in touch w/ myself. Thank you Brian for all that you have done.
Kathleen/Interim-Kathleen is full of passion, caringness, love and dedication to what she does and others. She was like a mother to all the clients that go through ABT. There was never a day that she did not approach each individual and ask how they were doing, also offering a hug. Kathleen shared her experience, strength and hope in our sessions, which touched my life in more ways than she knows. ABT is so blessed to have her w/ them. It’s not about the money for her, but it is about giving back and helping others. She is an angel in my eyes and I will always cherish her.
Sorry for rambling on, but I feel we go to long in life without telling others how GRATEFUL we are for them in our lives and for what we have. THANK YOU all at ABT for the dedication, encouragement, love and compassion you give to each individual. Keep doing what you are doing, because it does work!
Have a WONDERFUL Tuesday!
Matthew S.
Matt (age 32) came to ABT from Indiana after struggling with drugs/alcohol for many years. Matt had been in treatment before and was able to maintain 7 months of recovery. However, dealing with every day life and not working a rigorous program, Matt went back out to test the waters once again resulting in his relapse. After a few months, it took Matt down a path of agony and despair and Matt had lost all self-worth. Matt stated “When I awoke on Thursday Dec 4, I picked up the phone and reached out for help. After several hours of research and phone calls, I felt an immediate connection w/ ABT, which I feel, my Higher Power, who I chose to call GOD, led me to them.”
Matt’s first contact with alcohol was at the age of 20 and first contact with drugs was at the age of 23. Matt’s drug of choice was Crystal Meth and has been clean since Dec 5, 2009. Matt now has a sponsor and works a rigorous program on a daily basis. Matt says, “I keep myself connected with positive people, attend meetings on a regular basis and make sure I keep plugged in to the program. It does work, if you work it. You must be willing and able to completely surrender. Don't be afraid to reach out and ask for help. You can do it, if you put your mind to it.”

Drug Abuse in the Workplace
The stereotypes of drug addiction are just that – stereotypes. Drug addiction doesn’t pick and choose a particular lifestyle to attack. It is an equal opportunity disease. An addict isn’t always homeless, uneducated, or unemployed. Many addicts are very high functioning members of society. Approximately 75% of adults who abuse drugs are employed full time according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
Common indicators of an employee drug abuser is frequent changes in employment, frequently late to work or absent, less productive, work place accident prone leading to workman’s compensation claims, extended breaks and lunches, unauthorized frequent breaks, avoidance of supervisors after break or lunch, poor hygiene, unusual weight loss or gain, poor attitude, attitude changes, and extreme mood swings, erratic behavior, and stealing. However, some employees may show little to no noticeable indications at all. They have grown very good at hiding their problem and covering the signs.
When you suspect an employee of using drugs on the job or signs of drug abuse it is not always easy bringing the subject to the table. However, if the use of drugs or alcohol has an impact on the employees work performance, places the employee at physical danger performing their duties, or puts other employees at physical or interpersonal risk, the employer needs to intervene.
If a workplace drug policy is not already in place it is imperative that one becomes implemented. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), nearly a third of illicit drug users said they would be less likely to work for employers who conducted random drug testing. However, even with solid policies in place, workers who abuse drugs under the guise of bettering work performance will explain away the policy in their mind and continue to use. Prescription drug abusers will use the guise as it is “prescribed medication” and continue to use as well regardless of a policy. So although it will not deter all, it will lessen the numbers.
When you have a suspected drug abuser amongst your staff, you will need to confront the employee about your suspicions. Offer the employee assistance in seeking drug rehabilitation and then initiate random drug testing with consequences for positive drops. The employer will need to begin dealing with the employee’s drug use by no longer enabling the employee and holding them accountable for their actions – unexcused/unexplained absence, tardiness, performance, etc. Drug use in the workplace not only affects the users but the entire operation, from other employees, risks factors, and the bottom dollar.

Triggers and their Detonator
Do you recognize all your triggers? If you are not familiar with that term, a trigger is something that compels you to use your drug of choice or behave in an additive manner. Remember, addiction comes in many forms, not just a bottle or a drug, but also gambling, shopping, sex, and so many more and as many different types of addictions there are, there are thousands upon thousands of possible triggers that can go with those addictions. Triggers are unique to the addict. Just because a certain trigger may make one-person use, doesn’t necessarily mean that same trigger will result in the same effect with another.
Triggers can be internal (feeling motivated) or external (a scent, action, item, etc). Some common triggers for many addicts on the internal factor are shame, boredom, anger, fear, loneliness, and frustration. Internal triggers are often harder to control than external. If a certain television program is known to be a trigger for you, you can stop the detonation of that trigger by simply not watching it however if loneliness is a trigger, it is not easily remedied.
Most addictions are an attempt to self-medicate a painful emotion away. “The more I use, the less I feel.” External triggers can be anything else under the sun and moon from family, financial problems, a phrase, a song, the smell of certain cologne; anything and everything specific to the addict that causes one to use.
It is important to be aware of your triggers in order to avoid them or understand them to counteract with a more productive response. Write a list of all the possible triggers that can affect your recovery. Share them with support people in your life. When you come upon a situation where a trigger is involved, recognize it as such, remove yourself from the situation, and use your support group to help you work past the power of your triggers. Remind yourself how far you have come and how you will not allow the trigger to have the power over you any longer.

Is there such a thing as moderation with a former addict?
Some people think that they can have a drink at a social event and it will be okay, after all it is just one drink and not like they intend on getting drunk in their mind. It may be just a single drink, but is it worth the risk of relapsing back to what you fought so hard to come out of?
It is not uncommon for a former addict to want to and even think they can use in moderation after recovery. Rumors tell us there are other former addicts that have been able to use in moderation and not wind back in to a full blown out addiction mode. Truth of the rumor is however, more have failed than not falling right back into their previous deadly lifestyle.
A.A and other 12-step programs stress more on the side of “Don’t risk your sobriety, it is not worth it” and define an alcoholic as a person who can never drink in moderation. Other programs are more lax on that. The important question that should be asked is – is it worth it? Is it worth the risk of throwing away all that you have gained? Is it worth risking what you are trying to rebuild? Is it worth the risk of your health?
You will hear arguments on both sides of this debate, some with some pretty impressive research, both having their own merits, but regardless of all the research in the world, nothing is more important than your path to a full and healthy life.
Only you know what exactly you put at risk if you pick up a drink. It could be your children, your family relationship, a marriage, your career, your heath, etc. If you can spit on those things and never look back, then go ahead and risk it. But is it really worth the chance?
When you are tempted to give it a try, think about how far you have come and what all you had lost due to your addiction. Nothing can be found at the bottom of the bottle.

How to Help an Addict
Stop enabling them. Yes, it is easier said then done at times, but remember, each time you enable them, the sicker they get. The more they manipulate, the more they take, and the worse you feel. You may find yourself doing things for an addict due to the type of relationship you had prior to their addiction that you wouldn’t even do for a stranger. Ask yourself, would you do it for a stranger? Would you bail a person out of jail that you didn’t know? No, you wouldn’t. Even if the addict is a family member, they are a shell of whom you used to know.
Enabling can be as simple as calling into work for tem because they cannot function. Making up excuses for their behavior does not make them hold any accountability for their actions.
Quit bailing them out of situations they get themselves into because of their addiction. This is often one of the hardest things for parents as they have nurtured this family member since infancy. Their son or daughter spends up all their funds on drugs and has no food for the house. It kills a parent to think that their child is going without food and have a hard time putting the foot down when the addict ask for money for groceries. As a parent or any body for that matter who is dealing with an addict, you have to it perfectly clear that you will not help them in any fashion continue to live in their current lifestyle. This includes no longer bailing them out of jail, missed payments (rent, vehicle, lights, etc). If we keep an addict from constantly escaping bottom, knowing they must hit bottom before they will get better, it will never happen.
Stop believing everything they say. If you heard it once, you have heard it a million times “just this one time, if you help me now I promise I will go get help.” That old song and dance is just that, a song and dance that you must let go in one ear, out the other, and not give it a second thought. Do not believe what they say, only what they do. Keep your boundaries clear and strong.
Take care of you. Dealing with an addict is exhausting. You have to take care of you first. There is nothing you can do an addict other than set clear-cut boundaries. Let them know you will not continue to help them on their path to self-destruction until after they seek professional help. It is fine to tell them you love them, but will not accept their current lifestyle or behavior. This does not make you a bad person. This makes you someone who needs to remain healthy and sane, one who recognizes that the only way your loved one is going to get the type of help he or she need is by hitting bottom.

How to Support a Family Member in Rehab
Addiction affects all those that are exposed to the addict and is more often than not hit hardest on family members. When you play a role in getting a family member into rehab, you will experience a multitude of feelings. This can be extremely overwhelming and at times hard to keep in check.
If you have found yourself in the position of supporting a family member in rehab there are some important things to keep in mind at all times.
First off, any family member affected by another’s addiction should seek help themselves to understand the addiction and work through how it has effected their life. However, outside of that, some other important factors must be followed.
When your loved one is admitted into a rehabilitation center for addiction, it is important to not break the rules. They will be discussed with you in detail as well as given to you in written form. If a rule demands that you do not bring in even chewing gum to your family member, do not do it. The rules are there for the best interest of your family member; not to punish or torture them. Even if you do not like the rules or disagree with them, remember always, it is in the best interest of your family member and others in rehab.
In the beginning, visitation may be restricted, however, when it is allowed visit when you can, if it is the right thing for you and the therapist working with your family member advises.
Often time’s therapist will invite you to partake in family sessions. These can be invaluable to both you and your family member in rehab. Participate openly and honestly during these sessions. Do not minimize the situation as not to hurt your family members feeling or to cause an upset. This is the time to make sure your feelings are also heard honestly and will play a large role in your family members’ acceptance of the depth of their addiction as well as help work towards their recovery.
Honor your family members’ privacy. If they choose not to share with others on the outside their location, keep it private unless they give you permission otherwise.
Before bringing anything into the facility talk to the staff and ask what is appropriate for your family member in regards to gifts, magazines, etc.
