Having an addiction problem can be devastating in so many ways. You might look at your life now and feel that it is no longer worth living. You have lost your job. You can no longer hang out with friends the way you used to. You have lost all of your dreams and hurt your family very deeply. You might feel that all is hopeless, and you will never again be able to reclaim the life that you once used to love. However, all is not lost as long as you have life within you.
