Pride and Gay Drug Addiction
Research has shown us that drug addiction in the gay community is higher than the heterosexual community. So what!!!!! As with the heterosexual community, pride will keep us from seeking addiction treatment. Pride will keep us from asking for help with almost anything. It is not until we have lost what we value most where we put our pride in our pockets and ask for drug addiction help.
The opposite from pride is humility, supposedly a key ingredient in addiction recovery. I agree. My drug addiction was killing me. I tried everything I could to stop, but it was impossible. I just didn’t want anyone to think I needed them. Finally my drug addiction got to be too much and I didn’t care what anyone else thought. I needed drug addiction help NOW and needed it bad.
My pride almost killed me, not my drug addiction. When I entered drug addiction treatment I found out I was not the only one. Every gay man and woman I spoke to understood how pride kept them out there longer. Today, it is not my pride I talk about, but my gratitude for drug addiction treatment. Without the drug addiction help, I never would have found drug addiciton treatment. Today, asking for help is easy, not comfortable, but easy.
For drug addiction help, Forget pride and Call 1-800-511-9225 NOW!!!!!!!!!
