Are you suffering from chemical dependency?

The first step in overcoming substance abuse and dependency is to admit that you have a problem. This may not be an easy task, however, since addicts are frequent victims of self-deception.

Signs and symptoms of chemical dependency include:

  • Regular use of narcotics and/or alcohol

  • A constant need for increased levels of use to achieve the same effects

  • Withdrawal symptoms due to decreased use or cessation

  • Lying about your substance use

  • Increased conversation about drugs or alcohol

  • Avoiding family and friends

  • Requiring substance use to have fun

  • Risky behavior while under the influence

  • Drug or alcohol-related legal trouble

  • Degraded work performance due to substance abuse

  • Depression

  • Feeling out of control because of substance abuse

Are you ready to overcome your addiction? Overcoming chemical dependency is possible through Christ. You must confront your pain and the effects that chemical dependency has on those around you. This also means taking the first step down the road to recovery, which requires a great deal of courage. The counselors at Lake Forest Christian Counseling are here to come alongside to help you to find hope and healing.
