MYTH: Treatment doesn’t work
FACT: People who fear or don’t like the behavior associated with addiction are quick to point out the relapse often occurs, so therefore treatment doesn’t work. We need to remember that relapse also occurs with other disorders and diseases, such as diabetes and cancer.
![Page 16: 2009 Ramble for Recovery](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070313/554b26c2b4c905da088b47f5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
MYTH: Addicts can stop on their own if they just want to.
FACT: A desire to quit using is necessary but usually insufficient.

Voices of RecoveryRecognizing one male and female each year who have made efforts to not only recover their own lives, but
to also make a positive impact in the community.
Amber Shepherd the 2009 female Voices of Recovery Award recipient
![Page 18: 2009 Ramble for Recovery](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070313/554b26c2b4c905da088b47f5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Recovery is the personal experience of the individual as he/she moves out of illness into
health.
Recovery can be claimed only by the person in recovery, and that ownership includes the right to
take risks, make mistakes and learn from one’s experiences.

The most certain way to
succeed is always to try just one more time."
