Do Drug Hotlines Turn You in to the Police?
Question by Jake D: Do drug hotlines turn you in to the police?
I am 17, and I have an addiction to cocaine. I am starting to crash really really hard right now, and I want to get help. I really do. I am afraid if I call a drug abuse hotline they will turn me in. I can’t have that. I don’t want to go to jail. And I want to have the number blocked, I do not want the police knocking on my door. Can I have an anonymous call?
Any Good Book About Triumph Over Alcohol Addiction?
Question by BFM4L: Any good book about triumph over alcohol addiction?
I have a very important family member that suffered from alcohol addiction when they were younger. Then that person went 20 years completely sober, and now recently that person has fallen back into their old ways. Are there any books you could recommend that focus around addiction (especially alcohol) and triumph over it and how they had the strength to overcome it? There was a former CNN anchor that was on CNN a few weeks back promoting her book which mentioned how she was able to get passed her alcohol addiction, but I unfortunately am unable to remember the title. Thanks for any help you can give.
