[QUOTE="shannonontheprairie, post: 513321, member: 14094"] My own counsellor firmly believes that we work though our issues in our dreams, and I believe that. It is very, very natural for you to do so. I recently suffered a traumatic (final and conclusive) separation from my mother, and certainly working through my emotional recovery in my dreams, on occasion. I have difficulty believing that the causes of our children choose to walk down the path of drug and alcohol usage have nothing to do with their recovery. Is it those who suffer some sort of trauma or mental disorder that end up being caught the worst in the web of addiction? Or it is solely triggered by overuse? I don't know, but it seems to be some of both. I also (want to) believe that the earlier root causes are discovered (in the case of trauma) the better chance a kid has of getting the emotional support and counselling needed to kick their dependence on substances for the relief of their pain. That said, I fully understand that addiction is also a physical disease and that part of recovery is as important as the other. [/QUOTE]
