It is BIOGENETIC

• You don't choose to acquire it.
• A family history of drug/alcohol problems may put you at greater risk.

It is a PRIMARY Illness

• If you have chemical dependency, it's not a symptom of some other problem.
• If you have chemical dependency and other problems, your chemical dependency will interfere with treatment for other problems unless the chemical dependency is also treated.

It is a CHRONIC Illness

• It won't go away because you ignore it, don't like it or don't want to believe you have it.
• It's not "just a phase."

It is a PROGRESSIVE Illness

• Without treatment it will eventually get worse.
• It usually gets worse more quickly for women and young people.

If left Untreated, addiction can be FATAL

• Drinking and driving
• Overdose/alcohol poisoning
• Disease
• Organ Failure
• Violence
• Suicide
