Frank is Frank About Addiction - Part 1 of 2

We learned in Part One of our interview with Frank that:

  1. Addictive behaviour is hardly ever recognized for what it is early in the process; it is seen simply as hurtful, especially to innocent people like children in the family of an adult addict.
  2. Frank's story clearly shows that one does not always become an addict despite the abuse of drugs. He had not lost the power of choice after all and rather chose to help his friends who were suffering from the effects of their addiction.
  3. Addiction to drugs and alcohol can strike anyone, anywhere, and at any time. Even those who achieve wonderful things can be victimized by the disorder later in life.
  4. There is much to be said about the power of a loving person who is able to have the addict see the light; the addict must at that point choose that it is better to become abstinent than absent from a decent life of purpose and meaning.
