Mense wys baie maklik vinger as ander foute maak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cVanjaar vra ons vir mense om opbouende woorde te skryf en \u2019n helpende hand uit te reik.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So verduidelik Marietjie Landsman, direkteur van die Aurora Alkohol en Dwelm\u00adsentrum, vanjaar se #KickYourHabit-veldtog wat van Maandag (26\/06) tot 30 Junie plaasvind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tydens Aurora se algemene jaarvergadering op Woensdag 14 Junie is vanjaar se veldtog wat mense bewus maak van afhanklikes se stryd met alkohol- en dwelmmisbruik, bekend gestel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Een van die ondersteuners wat uit persoonlike ervaring groot lof vir Aurora se werk het, is Bloemfonteinse sakeman Rudi Maartens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy vertel hy het sy lewe lank \u2019n stryd met drankmisbruik gevoer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het \u2019n familiegeskiedenis van drankmisbruik. Van studentedae af het ek baie gedrink, maar dit het nie my studies be\u00efnvloed nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLater jare het dit gewissel. In goeie tye was dit nie so \u2019n groot probleem nie, maar wanneer dinge sleg gegaan het, was alkohol \u2019n uitkoms.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het uit sy eie in \u2019n stadium vir 18 maande opgehou drink. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit was \u2019n baie slegte tyd vir my. Ek het weer begin drink en mettertyd kon ek nie meer funksioneer as ek nie gedrink het nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAlles het egter in duie gestort toe dinge te erg raak en my familie my by Aurora gaan aflaai het.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit was vier jaar gelede. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie drie weke in Aurora was \u2019n crash course<\/i>. Die gedagte dat ek daarna moes teruggaan en die lewe voortsit, was nogal vreesaanjaend.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vandag is hy dankbaar oor dit wat hy geleer het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJy moet aanvaar dat jy nie beheer oor jou lewe het nie. Mense het hierdie onnatuurlike beeld van die perfekte lewe en daar is baie druk uit die samelewing om dit na te jaag. Alles kan egter in \u2019n oogwink verander.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maartens s\u00ea hy het niks teen alkohol nie, maar is beslis baie meer bewus en sensitief vir die gevare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Landsman verduidelik #KickYourHabit is \u2019n nasionale veldtog deur die Suid-Afrikaanse Nasionale Raad teen Alkoholisme en Dwelmafhaklikheid (Sanca).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cReik vanjaar jou hand uit na mense wat daagliks hard werk om sober te bly en om nie terug te val in hul negatiewe gewoontes nie. Skryf \u2019n motiveringsboodskap op jou handpalm, neem \u2019n foto en plaas dit op jou en Aurora se sosialemediaplatforms met #KickYourHabit2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie veldtog fokus daarop om op \u2019n baie eenvoudige manier te wys dat daar mense is wat glo dat verandering kan plaasvind en dat \u2019n mens nooit moet ophou hoop nie,\u201d s\u00ea Landsman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit was \u2019n baie slegte tyd vir my. Ek het weer begin drink en mettertyd kon ek nie meer funksioneer as ek nie gedrink het nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
