Dig Up Roots; Stop Trimming Branches
“Dig up roots; stop trimming branches.”
What does that mean?
As a society, we have a problem with treating the symptoms rather than addressing the underlying cause of our problems.
We take pain meds to hide the pain for a short time without asking ourselves what is causing the pain.
We take medication for high blood pressure without addressing the cause.
We try to make more and more money without addressing the mindset and spending habits that cause us to feel like we are drowning financially.
It is time we start to dig up and deal with the root of our problems.
A lot of people struggle with addiction because they try to use substances to deal with pain, loneliness, depression, etc.; however, they do not address what is causing their pain and illness in the first place.
At The Commitment House, we work with our clients to address the errors in thinking that leads them to use illicit substances.
We aim to cut addiction off at the root rather than treat the symptoms of addiction.
We need to take the time to slow down, do some inward reflection, and start working on doing away with the source of our problems rather than routine maintenance of the symptoms.
If you or someone you know needs help receiving substance abuse treatment, please call (270) 900-0373 any time, any day, 24/7 for a screening with one of our employees.
