So, substance-use disorder can cause a number of different problems for people. Some people think that that means that maybe their outcome will be so good because the motivation seems to be external. And actually, that's just par for the course. And it's human nature. You know we change our behavior when that behavior starts causing distress and pain, and that's just the way we are. But the job of treatment is to convert external motivation into internal motivation to help the person to see that these problems in their life, that they're all connected, and they're connected to a condition that isn't going away.”

I had to go through enough pain to where I finally raised my hand and said enough’s enough. I need to go get help.
