I think it’s important to educate from an early age so our youth doesn’t fall into developing the problem in the first place.

For myself, I have had to deal with this disease and the mood swings and selfishness of it all my life. My story is different in that I suffered the consequences of someone else’s drug/alcohol abuse. I know the whole denial game and toxic loop exhibited well so I am not liked by someone who chooses to use/abuse and engage in denial. Plus I have seen how the disease leads to a tragic end.
