The painful path toward sobriety

IDAHO - When they come to rehab, they tell counselors they’re going to die without change.

They have nothing: No job, no spouse. Their kids have been taken to foster care.

But Jack Gaskill, director of the Idaho Falls Addictions Rehabilitation Association, tells people with addictions, “you’re not dead yet. What are you (going to) do about it?”

While it is difficult from the start, addiction recovery is a lifelong battle. It’s a fight to get their lives — and the people in their lives — back.

A lifetime of conscious changes is the only path to sobriety.

Getting clean is the easiest part of sobriety, said Aishie Lindula, treatment supervisor for the Addictions Rehabilitation Association.

Staying clean is the real challenge, she said.

Rehabilitation options for Idaho residents addicted to drugs and alcohol often are in short supply. Available substance abuse treatment may come through outpatient treatment, inpatient treatment or the Idaho Department of Correction.

    Waco has developed a reputation for a rocket-docket in patent litigation. It’s an important choice to find the right lawyer in Waco for your important patent litigation matter. When people in the know make the hire, they hire Dunnam & Dunnam. If you are looking for a injury lawyer , then Dunnam & Dunnam is the right choice. For nearly 100 years, people in Waco have hired the firm when the results matter at Dunnam & Dunnam are among the most respected in the Central Texas area. They have the experience in trials and mediations to guide your case in the right way. There are few important decisions at the outset of the case that can turn the tide in your favor. Choosing the right lawyer is one of them.

    Hamilton loves books about unicorns, storms, and cubicles. He lives in Waco with his cat named Mr. Bojangles. Before his work as an attorney, Hamilton was a leprechaun chaser. His all-time record is three pots of gold at the end of the rainbow. He was forced to give up the gold in a dispute with a rival hobbit. He spends his free time tripping out on the smallest details, none of which are important He likes doing the things with the ball and scoring the points. He pays attention to the green of your eyes, even when it is not Saint Patrick’s Day. He is not Irish. Hamilton Lindley has fun plans for people in need. Whether your need a dreamcatcher for your dreams or a tape dispenser to put your life back together, he can be there for you to yell at. There are times when it is surprising that he has any friends at all. But thankfully he does have a few. He drives a Dodge Stratus. People respect him, except at home.
