Santulan conducted an awareness program at Gautam Buddha Nagar Nigdi, Mr. Dwijen Smart, the founder trustee of Santulan, explained that addiction is primarily a chronic disease. Further he explained various types of addiction. He also spoke on Women’s Empowerment and its effects on Women in the different walks of life. He also explained the short term and long term effects of alcohol as well as drugs and how it affects addict’s lives. To demonstrate, he quoted his personal experiences regarding the long lasting effects of alcoholism and various addictions. To actually quote him:
“The disease of Alcoholism not only affects the addict but also the whole family. In such cases, for a recovering addict the family support and understanding of the disease is necessary.”
“Not just physiologically, the disease of Alcoholism affects the addict mentally and psychologically as well. The effects are often long lasting and permanent.”
Mr. Sanjeev Joshi, panel member of Santulan, shared his own experiences of life as an addict and then his own recovery. He spoke in detail about his destruction of life and good effects of sobriety. Now, from the last 8 years he is living a peaceful sober life. Today he is providing his guidance to a lot of recovering addicts.
As per Mr. Dwijen, this disease is cunning, baffling and disastrous but the recovery is possible under able guidance. We at Santulan have designed a program to help those in need to recover from their addictions. So, if you know anyone in need, feel free to contact us.
