1/𧔠Giving & Receiving Advice:
My medical advice is not infallible. Maybe Iâm wrong and maybe my patient knows it? Maybe thatâs one reason she/he is non-compliant. Even if I am right, it might not be the time in that personâs life to hear the message.

2/ A pt may seem to be listening & carefully taking it all in. But later that morning she/he may leave against medical advice (AMA). What are we to think when we give our best #advice and others donât take it? Especially in the medical field?

3/ First of all, of course, unsolicited advice is #criticism. Especially when Iâm not with a patient, I try to resist all urges to give unsolicited advice.
1/𧔠Addiction is a family disease:
Drinking three 8-packs of Budweiser Nitro Gold daily for 10 yrs takes its toll on the entire family. I told my patient, âAll you have to do is the next right thing.â ThenâŠ

2/ His family was very upset when his ânext right thingâ was to check out against medical advice. I shared a quote from @MalibuMelB (M. Beattie): âOthers donât know whatâs best for us. We do not know whatâs best for others. Our main job is to determine whatâs best for ourselves.â
3/ Terminology: Addiction vs. Substance-Use DisorderâŠthere are many things people can be addicted to besides âsubstances.â Addictions to things like exercise, love, money, control of others, etc. For thisđ§”, I am referring to addiction broadlyâŠand how it robs people of joy.
People say I need to escape.. Escape from what ? The pain, unworthiness, anger, guilt, hatred, hurt, envy etc. Wherever it is you to go escape, the same negative feelings go with you.
You can numb them, you can drug them, you can create distraction from them, but they will still go with you and live in you no matter what. At some point you need to face them, embrace them, go through them. Make that time now so you can be free! Escaping is a temporary route.
Everything is within you, to control you, society and media encourages you to look outwards. You become a puppet over time! Look outward was much as you need to but be grounded inside. All power and potential and healing happens from within.
