"Nothing is so bad that a drink or drug won't make it worse." This Twelve Step slogan means that for an alcoholic or addict use of a psychoactive substance to relieve the pain of a reality of life, or to avoid or escape it, is not a viable option. The only way to resolve life's problems is to use the tools of recovery and not pick up a drink or a drug. Working through issues can result in spiritual and emotional growth. Use of alcohol or other drugs to handle problems results in more problems, not solutions.
