Key Talking Points

• The panel consists of two former addict and two ‘normies’. The ‘normies’ have a close friend or family member that is in recovery and has had an impact on them.
• Myth: People who struggle with addition come from a bad or broken home and have no support.
• Truth: Until an addict says ‘Done’ no one can help them. Your heart may say you are done but your actions must demonstrate it.
• Addiction can come in many forms:
  • Caffeine
  • Sex
  • Germaphobe
  • Gambling
  • Video Games
  
  
• We worry about it when it becomes difficult to perform our daily functions.
• Look at science. It starts uniting things.
  • How you are wired
  
  
• Drug testing for your people or new recruits is dependent on state laws.
  • Gray areas in states where marijuana is legal.
  
  
• You can put up a sign that says ‘We are a drug-free workplace.’
• An addict’s descent into relapse occurs long before they take in the substance or activity. Talk to people to learn the signals of relapse.
  • Usually, performance at work suffers and that is a signal.
