If addicted to a drug or alcohol, one probably doesn't want to face the reality of it even when they know, deep inside, that they are. The shame and guilt associated by not being able to stop is due to society's perception that an addiction is a character disorder. This is because of all of the crazy things people say and do when under the influence. They are not their real self. They are their drugged selves. Their thoughts and behaviors are those they wouldn't have if their brains hadn't been drugged all these years.Every person who has had an addiction has fully believed that if their use was causing problems, they could stop drinking or using on their own. What they eventually realize, if they haven't died first, is that while everyone else could see the problems, they could not. And now it has progressed to the point that there is no stopping without a specific plan that consists of more than, "I can do this on my own." This is not a stand-alone program for recovery. It serves to set the stage for getting started and taking control of one's life. Leave Me Alone - I Don't Have An Addiction is a starter kit for those who have the mind-set that they can stop drinking/using on their own. It is direct and full of Reality Points designed to get the reader to face facts and the truth about their addiction. It offers several steps and directives to get the addict/alcoholic on the road to recovery.
Michael Rice is a Licensed Independent Substance Abuse Counselor who is certified in Reality Therapy and Choice Theory by the William Glasser Institute. Choice Theory differentiates from conventional psychiatry that diagnoses mental illness and brain disorders for conditions that have no pathology and are treated with psychotropic medications. Choice Theory is based upon personal choices, personal responsibility, and personal transformation. What is being diagnosed and medicated as a mental illness is, in reality, the behavior of someone who is acting out of frustration and unhappiness. The unhappiness and frustration is the result of an unsatisfying relationship with someone important to them . . . something that is occurring in the present. The frustration and unhappiness is the result of several unsuccessful attempts to control a situation that will result in an acceptable relationship. The relationship problem may also be the client's own relationship with him/herself. Mike has been in private practice since 1998 and over the years has helped over four thousand clients for substance abuse and several other behavioral health and emotional concerns. His years of practice and experience has encompassed group therapy, one-on-one, and couples counseling, helping others to better understand themselves by teaching Choice Theory methods of improving their relationships with the important people in their lives. Mike has been an active member of the William Glasser Institute, having served as the Regional Director of the Western states as well as having served on the U.S. Board of Directors of the Institute. Mike has presented several workshops at conferences in AZ, CA, NV, TN, CT, and Bogota, Columbia. He has presented at the AZ Psychological Association and the Sierra Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence in Sacramento, CA. Along with Dr. Kenneth Larsen, Mike co-emceed the opening ceremonies of the William Glasser International Conference at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles in June of 2012. Mike remains the CEO and Director of Court Counseling Services in Mesa, AZ, which he started in 1998. He continues to assess clients for substance abuse, teaches life-skills, and shares his experiences with client issues and Choice Theory applications in his books and articles.
