On this day of Family and Thanks may we forgive those who hurt us, including ourselves. By forgiving we release ourselves of hold the Hurt has over us. I ask to be forgiven and I forgive. Now bring on the 'taters.

Why is it so easy to hold a grudge? Forgiveness and letting go can lead you down the path of healing and peace.

John DuRocher Counseling wishes everyone a Happy and Safe 4th.

You don't have to wait until you're in trouble to ask for help.

John DuRocher Counseling is here to help. We are able to do evaluations or assessments online or in person. Sessions can be online or in person, respecting social distancing guidelines. If you or a loved one has gotten a DUI, been arrested, is ready to quit, or simply wants to learn about addiction and recovery we can help.

I did not write this however it is true.
Addiction is a family disease. It affects far more than the addict alone. If you or someone you love is addicted, John DuRocher Counseling can help.
*******************************************************************
"There is a solution. It’s simple ! The getting there is almost impossible for some. Watching someone you love, that has fought so hard battling the disease of addiction, throw everything away and sink back into an active addiction is one of the hardest things you will ever do. You want to help them back to a clean and sober life but you realize by doing this, as you have so many times before, will now just be enabling them because it will show them that you will always be there to bail them out. You want to grab and shake them and say "Wtf are you doing" but at some point, you realize that it wouldn't make a difference. So, we sit back and watch the tragedy unfold as if you are watching a movie with no pause button. Feeling helpless to stop it, feeling like you haven't done enough to help, even though you know you have and only the addict can help themselves. Loving the addicted person is one of the hardest things you will ever have to go through. As parents, we pray that we won't get that phone call, that knock on the door or worse ....and then you realize your worst nightmare just became your reality. To all my friends/family who have or had endured this battle; I love you and I am praying for you. The disease of addiction is a family disease, it is the silent beast waiting to pounce, it is excruciating pain for those of us who have to continue to watch those we love battle and struggle to break free of its grip. So, today, l ask you to stand with me in prayer for every family member, every friend who loves someone who lost their battle to the disease of addiction and for those who continue to conquer it; One day at a time! If you or someone you love is fighting the disease of addiction, please copy/paste this on your page. If you or someone you love has lost someone they love due to this disease, please copy/paste this on your page. If you are living proof that one day at a time this disease can be arrested, please, copy/paste this on your page. As a good friend of mine says "you never, ever, ever, ever, ever have to use again!" Many of you will be hesitant to copy and paste this. Some of you won't at all. For the ones who will. I Feel Your Pain. I post this in support of my friends Cindy Trulock Crotty and Pete Crotty as they now have to walk through life learning how to live again affected by the true horrors of the disease of addiction. I love you both, I continue to pray for you and I am here for you."

John DuRocher Counseling will be utilizing online sessions during the Covid-19 crisis. If you are interested please contact the office.

With overdose rates reaching historic numbers, we need to change how we are addressing the issues surrounding addiction. Harm reduction is worth a look.

“Succumbing to the common human urge to absolve ourselves of responsibility, our culture has too avidly embraced genetic fundamentalism. That leaves us far less empowered to deal either actively or proactively with the tragedy of addiction. We ignore the good news that nothing is irrevocably dictated by our genes and that, therefore, there is much we can do” Dr. Gabor Mate

We are learning new things every day about the causes and remedies for addiction. No one need suffer from this treatable disease.

John DuRocher Counseling is open to help anyone dealing with substance abuse. If you need help I am here.

I was speaking recently with a colleague, RevChester McKinney, who works in a local emergency room. He is seeing more overdoses than ever. He is also seeing the deadly drug fentanyl used to “cut” just about everything ie co***ne, ecstasy, molly etc. This is surprising because fentanyl usually has the opposite effect than these drugs. If you are using drugs and need help stopping, or know someone caught up and need your own support or want to better understand the disease of addiction we can help. Call John DuRocher Counseling. There is help. We do recover.

Addicts are in love with their drugs. On some level the addiction serves the addict by providing a certain kind of relief, if only for a short time. The addict must learn to let go of the attachment they have to their addiction and to trust there is a new way to live.

What we know about addiction and recovery is growing and changing every day. Johann Hari has researched some of these new ideas.
