Addiction Trip

When I travel, I’ll type my destination into a GPS to make sure I don’t get 
lost along the way.

Addiction has no road map or GPS.  
It’s an endless drag punctuated by slow climbs, out of control downhills 
and harrowing hairpin turns — an accident waiting to happen.

Parents drive this highway a car length or two behind their addicted child.
We seek directional advice from experts in a desperate attempt to help 
them avoid the crash and burn.

Ultimately, the addict is responsible for his or her own journey.
