Significant-Other Program If someone you love faces a physical, mental or substance challenge with self-defeating behavior, this website will provide you with facts about a simple program of recovery. Through its help, people have overcome numerous challenges to achieve recoveries from physical and substance abuse challenges to live comfortable and productive lives that are illusion-and-substance free. The closest person to a challenged individual may often find it the most difficult to believe the one they care about so much can be in a state of little hope. "Can this condition really be overtaking their life?" loved ones often say. Then, in their wish to avoid the depth of the problem, they anxiously wait and hope, perhaps believing society will step in and help. But repeated cycles of hope and disappointment begin to close in on these loved ones, forcing them to face the truth. Often a solution is sought in a panic, producing a less-than-happy result. Then loved ones see that many "solutions" have brought their own set of problems. Loved ones may question themselves for wasting much-needed resources on hopeless programs, resulting in more treatment, hospitalization and more abuse. Anger, depression and even despair can begin their repeating cycle, destroying two lives now, rather than one. If you have felt like this, take hope from the experience of TVI spouses, relatives, lovers and friends who once felt that same way, but have since seen their loved one reenter society, freed from their disconnection, separation and illusional lifestyle. If they could speak to you they might say something like this: "We have also loved someone that we almost lost all hope for. We saw our loved one turn against most or all of the wonderful gifts life has to offer -- those we used to consider so precious. Children, parents, career, society, friends, the sports and outings we used to enjoy no longer seemed to hold meaning. We saw life fall away, step-by-step, in pieces from our dear friend and then felt powerless to help as we saw the money, time and effort of many people going to waste. Perhaps we did intervene, but only to make matters worse by feeding addictive behavior or delaying some real answer. "But then we found that once the person we loved was presented with the right choice and could come back -- sober, clean and illusion-free -- in the right step-by-step way, they did decide to take that right choice. They actually did do it! It was more simple than expected once we knew the process. And once they knew they could do it, they wanted to do it. For our loved one, making the right choice began by making the right choice available. "Having no right choice was clearly the biggest block And giving them access to the "best" right choice was really their key -- and this is where we could help. With it our loved one made the commitment and did come back -- strong!" Remember, that choice worked for them and can work for you too. Our Telecommuting Recovery Program is not based upon a theory but on actual recovery experiences of challenged individuals. |
