This is a great article--and Mr Wickstrom does address the common myths about alcoholism. the Five myths he explains in detail are: Myth #1: “Alcohol is not as addictive as cocaine, heroin, and other drugs.” Myth #2: “Alcohol doesn’t kill like other drugs.” Myth #3: “It’s relatively safe to drink while using prescription drugs.” Myth #4: “The only rehabilitation that works for alcoholics is the Twelve Step (Alcoholics Anonymous) program.” Myth #5: “You can always tell when someone is an alcoholic.” If you still belive any of the above, please go to his sucess Site and read this article to find out why it is a myth. For parents, there are a few more myths that need to be broken: Myth # 6: If your child is a drug addict, you didn't raise them in a healthy environment. Myth # 7: Your addicted child should be treated in a teen center so he or she can relate. Myth # 8: If your child is still an adolescent they are not really an addict--they are too young to really tell. M
