Humans Are Unique Animals. One of the most obvious ways we differ from other species is that we are born somewhat helpless. By the time most animals are born, they are already able to take care of themselves. Take a calf for example. Within hours of being born, a calf is able to walk, within days it can run around, and within weeks it has all it needs to be on it’s own and fend for itself. Humans, on the other hand, are born so helpless that we have to rely on somebody else to feed us, protect us, and basically do everything for us for years.

Whether it be losing weight, quitting drugs, or cutting down on drinking, at one time or another we have all felt the urge to make a big change or improve our lives. Before you actually embark on that change, though, you’ll probably psych yourself up by replaying all the reasons why you really need to quit eating donuts for breakfast, why you need to stop smoking weed everyday, or why you need to avoid that first drink after work altogether. This pep talk will likely fuel your motivation and excitement about your upcoming change journey even more. You might wake up the next morning and tell yourself, “Today is the day. Today I am going to change my life for the better.”

I’m not exaggerating when I say that millions of people feel lost and hopeless in their battle with addiction. It’s no surprise then, that more and more people are dying every year due to alcohol and drug related struggles.
