Are you tired of spending all of your hard earned money on heroin and other opiate painkillers? Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? If so, maybe you need to think of some ways of how you can stop using painkillers.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Actually there are several ways that a person can quit using drugs. Probably the best way for most people is going to some type of drug rehab. Now again there are many different types are rehabs in the few that would to be addicted to opiates you'll probably want to find a rehab that specializes in opiate addiction.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Once you determine what type are rehab you need you are also going to have to figure out whether you need your every day run of the mill drug rehab or are you going to need a rehab that can medically detox you from heroin or other opiate medications like OxyContin, Vicodin, or Percocet.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">How you can beat pain pills addiction</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq_pw2bcrme4_uAduJEYqWE4IQ-qxvNHmUOq5y6ep5Kna4tMe05jD7aaCzw568ai9PQmsFbuxrYq90tbM5VvT_2rD4usV-8qVgvNePvBGQllwXNKjfKAJ0ld1_JyoNdhwq7f4JB6V65FyU/s1600/gfgf.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq_pw2bcrme4_uAduJEYqWE4IQ-qxvNHmUOq5y6ep5Kna4tMe05jD7aaCzw568ai9PQmsFbuxrYq90tbM5VvT_2rD4usV-8qVgvNePvBGQllwXNKjfKAJ0ld1_JyoNdhwq7f4JB6V65FyU/s400/gfgf.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Don't be confused detoxing from prescription medications can be just as difficult is trying to come off heroin. I know this to be true because I have detox him several different opiate medications. So if you want to be as comfortable as possible when going through opiate or her own withdrawal I would definitely choose the medical detox route.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">If you choose this method you will be looked after by a staff of trained professionals. They will be there for you around-the-clock seven days a week to make you as comfortable as possible during your <i>painkiller withdrawal</i>. They will also administer other prescription medications to help ease the pain and discomfort caused by your heroin or opiate withdrawal symptoms. In most cases the entire detox process will take a little less than a week. Now keep in mind that once this process is completed the next step is residential treatment.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">In residential treatment you will be around many other addicts and alcoholics just like yourself that are trying to learn how to overcome an <span style="color: #3d85c6;"><a href="http://cbdrugaddiction.blogspot.com/2011/01/how-to-stop-using-painkiller.html"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">addiction to prescription medications</span></a></span> as well as an addiction to heroin or alcohol. While there you will be required to attend lectures, 12 step programs like narcotics anonymous, group therapy, one-on-one substance abuse counseling, and videos about addiction.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Back in the day when I first started getting clean and sober residential treatment was like 28 days. Now due to insurance policies and whatnot the maximum stays more like 10 to 14 days. This is not a very long time for an addict to learn all that they need to know about how to stay clean once they leave<span style="color: #3d85c6;"> <a href="http://cbdrugaddiction.blogspot.com/2011/01/how-to-stop-using-painkiller.html"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">substance abuse treatment</span></a></span>. It would be my recommendation that you pay very close attention to what the counselors and staff are trying to teach you because whether you realize it or not your life depends on it.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Recovery is not a game you are not there to start a new relationship and as a matter of fact relationships that start in rehab will not work. Trust me I've tried that too. One of you always end up using and the other will follow soon after. Then you are right back in the same boat needing to get clean again. The reason I'm telling you all this is so that you can avoid the mistakes that I made.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Good luck</div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Bapakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11849233108020546986noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3022864684190748451.post-5243863960246851112013-03-11T19:29:00.000-07:002013-03-24T10:22:04.905-07:00How can get the best addiction treatment for opiate withdrawal<br /><div class="MsoNormal">Okay so maybe you are thinking about going into addiction treatment for your opiate withdrawal problem.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">If so then you are ready to take action. My recommendation to you is to get on the phone and call up local treatment centers in your area.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">You may not have a lot of money, and you may not have health insurance, but if you are diligent about trying to obtain treatment you should be able to do so. Someone out there will help you to get the help that you need.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">It is not an excuse to just keep drinking or using drugs and say that you don't have enough money for treatment.

After detox you will likely go to residential treatment and probably be exposed to 12 step meetings. Try to keep an open mind about the meetings even if you don't necessarily like them first.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Most people who go to treatment don't end up making permanent changes. They might try the meetings for a while but they lose interest and they go back to their addiction.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">If you want to make it work in the long run you have to commit to long-term changes. This is hard to do because most of us are used to getting results more quickly than.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">If you have been to treatment several times and you continue to relapse, then you might consider going to long-term treatment at some point. Long-term rehab does not work for everyone, but it may work for you if nothing else has.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">You may also try getting a sponsor in your recovery journey. A sponsor can help you in the same way the spiritual guide can help someone who is seeking religion. If you feel lost in your recovery journey you may benefit from having someone else to talk to and bounce ideas off. A sponsor can also help you see problems that you might be running into that you are not aware of.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">I strongly urge everyone to go to treatment and get professional help if they have struggled with addiction. It does not have a 100% success rate, but it is certainly better than nothing.

We know that heroin is much like morphine and many other opiate based medications. Both chemicals act to suppress pain, whether in the physical body or in the mind of an abused or otherwise psychotic person.</span><span class="apple-converted-space" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt;"><br /><span style="background: white;">Persons who sell heroin need a steady supply of customers and their customers have to have an income.

Now you will want to have someone to help you with this it could be your substance abuse counselor or a sponsor. The reason is they can help keep you accountable by asking you every week how you are progressing with your goals.</span><br /> <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia;"><br /></span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia;">Next we will want to make a mid range goal that should be anywhere from 6 months to a year. Once again choose one that is doable. Maybe you have a desire to be more healthy so you could set up a fitness program; for instance, you could join a gym but I would stick with something that you can do for free. </span><br /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia;"><br /></span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia;">Here is something that may interest you that I still use today which is going for a long walk everyday. Its really not that long its only like 1 and 1/2 miles but that's enough. I also do push ups and sit ups. If this is something you may be interested in be creative and make your own program. <o:p></o:p></span><br /> <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia;"><br /></span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia;">Lastly you will want to make your long term goal. Maybe you have always wanted to go back to school are have a better career, own your own home or whatever. Make your goal from anywhere from </span><st1:time hour="13" minute="0"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia;">1</span></st1:time><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia;"> to 10 years.

One of these is that they are out for money and </span><span style="line-height: 19px;">aren't</span><span style="line-height: 14.25pt;"> of much help after the person has become clean. This is completely false. Several of these programs have outreach programs and other types of services that they offer to the client even after successful completion. These addiction recovery tools can help increase the odds of staying clean and sober, when taken advantage of.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br /><h2><strong><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Getting Started</span></strong><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><o:p></o:p></span></h2><div style="line-height: 14.25pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">One of the best ways to learn about this type of detox is by visiting a center firsthand. Not only can this jump-start recovery, but can pave the way for a drug-free life. Sure, it seems like a small step, but it’s one of the most crucial things that the addict can do. It allows the opportunity to learn about what the program is like and to decide if this is the right option or not, while ultimately setting the individual up to succeed.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="line-height: 14.25pt;"><b><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></b></div><div style="line-height: 14.25pt;"><b><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: large;">Choosing the best detox center</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div><div style="line-height: 14.25pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 14.25pt;">What I would do if I were considering on going to a inpatient rehab is do a little research; for example ask a couple of them what there aftercare programs consist of.

Most people who receive prescription painkillers know that they need to follow the directions on the container exactly. Failing to follow them can have dire consequences.<br /><br />Opioid and prescription painkiller addiction and abuse can have long-term effects, but these long-term effects are different from the symptoms of an overdose. Victims of an overdose of codeine will suffer from shallow breath, rapid heart rate and unconsciousness.<br /><br />What should someone do if he encounters an overdose? If he can recognize the early warning sings, he should call a hospital. If someone comes upon a person who is unconscious, he should treat the individual for shock and call the local poison control center immediately.<br /><br />The hospital should send out an ambulance quickly. Most poison control centers will not tell a person with no medical training to take any course of action. The victim must be monitored by a medical professional until the poison clears his system.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWELisRzkx7b78ELj4fQJiYYqpV8VACWo4KrnVTRG4b6BL4z48uxdS0ZwXYw9ALbd4APboFP3Pc8kLhi5YlgcIXRhGWArvthXFlgezBw5d4H4SRZdpidEAep-KdfgI8PKey4LvhwsqzCJR/s1600/How-not-to-Fail-in-Therapy-to-Stop-using-Cocaine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWELisRzkx7b78ELj4fQJiYYqpV8VACWo4KrnVTRG4b6BL4z48uxdS0ZwXYw9ALbd4APboFP3Pc8kLhi5YlgcIXRhGWArvthXFlgezBw5d4H4SRZdpidEAep-KdfgI8PKey4LvhwsqzCJR/s640/How-not-to-Fail-in-Therapy-to-Stop-using-Cocaine.jpg" width="430" /></a></div><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;">How to get help for codeine addiction </span></b><br /><br />If you need help in finding recovery from an <a href="http://cbdrugaddiction.blogspot.com/2011/01/codeine-addiction-its-causes-and.html"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">addiction to codeine</span></a> then you might want to go to rehab. There you can get started on a new life in recovery and of course your success in staying clean and sober will be entirely up to you. Drug rehab can give you the opportunity that you need to start a new life, but they cannot do the actual work for you. Going to rehab makes it pretty easy to get a few weeks clean. <br /><br />After you leave, however, the real work of staying clean actually starts and you are faced with the challenge of not using drugs while still having your freedom to do so if you choose.<br /><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;">How you can get through hydrocdone withdrawal</span></b><br /><br />There is no magic bullet when it comes to recovery and drug rehab is merely one path that might help you on your way it can also help you to get trough a withdrawal from hydrocodone. If you leave rehab only to end up relapsing the next day or the next week or the next month, then this does not really serve you and is a pretty bit waste of time and money. <br /><br />In order to get the true benefits of recovery you are going to want to stay clean for a considerable period of time and that means that you need to put in some serious work. Unfortunately it takes a great deal of effort to stay clean, especially in the beginning, but that effort will pay off in a big way if you stick it out in your recovery.<br /><br />For every year that you stay clean and sober you will save yourself several thousand dollars and several years of life span. If you really stop and consider these benefits then it is really astounding. <br /><br />In addition to your life and your money, you will also significantly alter the quality of your life and greatly change the amount of stress and emotional problems that you will have to deal with. The benefits of sobriety are absolutely enormous and you have to live it in order to really appreciate it.<br /><br />Unfortunately, most addicts will not put forth the effort needed to recover. They might string together a few weeks of sobriety but then they will get lazy and slowly revert back to their old ways. The only way to prevent this is by taking massive action over a sustained period of time. That means putting forth a tremendous effort after leaving drug rehab and continuing to grow as a person long after you leave rehab. Not easy but definitely worth it.<br /><br />Good luck<br />Bapakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11849233108020546986noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3022864684190748451.post-17491200131655127132012-12-26T10:45:00.000-08:002013-03-24T10:22:05.195-07:00Many people ask is addiction help needed to achieve goals for success in drug addiction recovery?<br /><br /><span style="line-height: 19px;">Goals for success in <i>drug addiction recovery </i>can probably be found in the AA bible.

There you can get started on a new life in recovery by getting started with a fresh slate on your life. <br /><br />Getting clean and sober and dried out is the first step in overcoming any sort of addiction. Abstinence is the baseline for recovery. You have to start with a clean slate in order to start making real growth and progress in your life.<br /><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;">Inpatient treatment can help you overcome an addiction to heroin or other opioid drugs</span></b><br /><br />After you have this clean slate established from <a href="http://cbdrugaddiction.blogspot.com/2012/12/drug-therapy-is-basically-therapy-that.html"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">drug therapy</span></a> then you will probably go to residential treatment. This is a part of most inpatient drug detox programs and the whole point is so that you do not simply end up relapsing again and having to go through another detox. If you do end up relapsing right away then this is quite a waste of your time and money. A must better path is to leave treatment and start making a serious effort on your recovery so that you can ultimately change your life and not go back to your old way of living.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhBVqE_8bqInOXtoftaCopyyGRULBNQbGbl-GED9xvebD8qmz-pwXvsRNq9wLzwNgyOArO6iAWInE05uf51kSqWT8Yec9qHXslVGCHDlCuq20UFGtIN-i-xhcjQ6dedW6S7vdYNZLfX9Fo/s1600/mg1106fig2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="352" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhBVqE_8bqInOXtoftaCopyyGRULBNQbGbl-GED9xvebD8qmz-pwXvsRNq9wLzwNgyOArO6iAWInE05uf51kSqWT8Yec9qHXslVGCHDlCuq20UFGtIN-i-xhcjQ6dedW6S7vdYNZLfX9Fo/s400/mg1106fig2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;">Inpatient substance addiction detox</span></b><br /><br />They say there is only one thing you have to change in recovery and that is everything so why not start with <a href="http://cbdrugaddiction.blogspot.com/2012/12/can-inpatient-substance-abuse-treatment.html"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">inpatient substance abuse treatment</span></a>. It is sort of a joke but at the same time there is some truth to it. Ask someone who has found success in recovery and they will tell you that yes, they indeed did have to change everything in their life in order to recover. The process of recovery is really that intense and those who fall short of this necessary level of change are doomed to end up relapsing.<br /><br />So how can you insure that you will stay clean after leaving detox? How can you insure success in recovery? There is no sure fire guarantee but if you push yourself to take massive amounts of action every single day then this is getting you off to a good start. <br /><br />Most people have a hidden belief that changing their life in recovery must be about changing their mind. They reason that their thinking is screwed up and that is what screws them up as far as addiction and using drugs is concerned. This is partially true but the solution is not to change your thinking as that is impossible. <br /><br />Instead, simply take massive action every day and your thinking will change automatically. The secret is in the doing, not in the thinking. "Bring your body and your mind will follow." People get stuck on the belief that they have to change their thoughts, when in reality they just need to get their tail in gear and take some real action towards recovery. The thinking will straighten out later on.<br /><br />Bapakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11849233108020546986noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3022864684190748451.post-91718480833489627982012-12-24T09:30:00.000-08:002013-03-24T10:22:05.205-07:00Drug therapy can help you overcome painkiller addiction and get clean and sober<br /><br />Drug therapy is basically a therapy that uses medications to help with substance abuse addiction or medicines to treat various diseases. Medicines are usually given orally in the form of capsules, pills or liquid form or are injected into the muscles or tissues of the patient.<br /><br />However, using medications can sometimes cause unexpected and temporary side effects when they are combined with certain herbal remedies, foods or other drugs. Thus, the method of administrating this therapy using drugs varies largely according to the patient and the condition that has to be treated. <br /><br />One of the greatest benefits of drug therapy is the fact that that this therapy not only aids in treating diseases and infections, but also helps alleviate symptoms associated with various problems; for example, a person with an addiction to drugs such as opiates prescription medications may be used to alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms.<br /><br />Furthermore, it can include using antibiotics can help treat common ailments, antidepressants are used to ease symptoms of depression. Similarly, while medications can be used to provide pain relief after an accident or surgery, they can also be used to fight addiction in a positive manner. <br /><br />However, seeking the advice of your physician before taking any medications is highly recommended to experience successful result.<br /><br />If you are addicted to prescription painkillers then I would suggest that you contact the physician that prescribed you the medication you have the problem with. They can help you to come up with a solution to stop using painkillers. It could be as simple as tapering off you medication or it could involve going to a drug rehab for a medical opiate detox.<br /><br /><a href="http://cbdrugaddiction.blogspot.com/2012/11/inpatient-treatment-and-drug-detox-can.html"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Inpatient treatment treatment and drug detox can help you overcome painkiller addiction</span></a> and to find recovery if you have been struggling with drug or alcohol addiction. <br /><br />The important thing is that you take the proper steps to get yourself into treatment of some sort so that you have a chance at living a new life in recovery. If you don't interrupt the cycle of addiction then it is pretty difficult to make any sort of lasting changes. Drug rehab is an opportunity to get a few weeks of clean time in so that you can evaluate your life and make the necessary changes.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsbq8pKgXcsck6bj_y609fSYAxrzcqEmgY4FLo8moTtsCZ6xcOoYSe-Jcm63yfZoMdZEFQIgIaFWkXYV2SAAp0JZexBBrTHySsPHonV-Qrn0_w4_7BW3hjHGHNNo9rMv8v9YAXgq2pK0P6/s1600/hydrocodone.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="299" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsbq8pKgXcsck6bj_y609fSYAxrzcqEmgY4FLo8moTtsCZ6xcOoYSe-Jcm63yfZoMdZEFQIgIaFWkXYV2SAAp0JZexBBrTHySsPHonV-Qrn0_w4_7BW3hjHGHNNo9rMv8v9YAXgq2pK0P6/s400/hydrocodone.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;">How to overcome an addiction to pain medication </span></b><br /><b><br /></b><b>Solutions to beat a pain <a href="http://cbdrugaddiction.blogspot.com/2011/03/seeking-help-for-pain-pills-addiction.html"><span style="color: #0b5394;">medication addiction</span></a></b><br /><br /><b>·</b><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Make a decision to stop using opiate painkillers<br /><br /><b>·</b><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Next you will need to figure out how you intend to do this<br /><br /><b>·</b><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Options include tapering off of opiates or going to drug rehab<br /><br /><b>·</b><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Then you will want to find a drug rehab near you<br /><br />Now if you are serious about staying clean in recovery then you need to take big action. You can do this in a number of different ways and successful recovery will likely look different for different people. But the common thread is that everyone who stays clean and sober after leaving drug rehab is that they will have taken a massive amount of action in their life.<br /><br />You can prove this last point to yourself by interviewing recovering addicts and alcoholics. Ask them if they can look back at their early recovery for a moment and tell you something specific: did they just make a modest effort in early recovery, or did they push themselves to take a huge amount of action? <br /><br />In every single case I can assure you that the person living in successful recovery will automatically and instantly say that they took massive action. This is a given for anyone who has managed to stay clean and sober and they will answer this same way every time without hesitation. Of course they took massive action, how else would they be standing before you today being clean and sober? <br /><br />Do we actually think that sobriety and recovery might happen by accident? Do we actually think that some addicts just get lucky and sort of blunder their way into recovery and basically have an easy time of staying sober every day just due to sheer luck? This is the most ridiculous idea and yet the vast majority of addicts and alcoholics in early recovery expect to be able to get phenomenal results without putting in the work. <br /><br />Folks, it ain't going to happen and if you want to stay clean and sober and have an awesome new life then you have to do a massive amount of work to get there. To give you a rough idea of what all is involved, some addicts live in long term recovery for 2 years straight and when they leave out of there they still have a lot of effort and work to put into their sobriety. This is a long hard journey so be prepared to put in the effort.<br /><br />Good luckBapakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11849233108020546986noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3022864684190748451.post-15891777598621218072012-12-21T18:51:00.000-08:002013-03-24T10:22:05.209-07:00Is hillbilly heroin running your life and you want to know how to stop using oxycodone<br />Oxycodone also known as Hillbilly heroin is used to manage chronic or acute pain. It can also be used to treat diarrhea predominant irritable bowel syndrome and severe diarrhea. It is a drug that can be addictive though.<br /><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;">What are the side effects of Oxycodone </span></b><br /><br />Some of the effects that people may get from taking it are <i>memory loss, fatigue, nausea, dizziness, disturbing nightmares, dry mouth, heavy sweating, and anxiety</i>. Some people have experienced abdominal pain, urine retention, loss of appetite, and hiccups. In over doses, high doses, or in people who cannot handle the drug, it can cause clammy skin, shallow breathing, circulatory collapse, and death.<br /><br />People can experience oxycodone withdrawal symptoms if they stop using the drug abruptly. So if they are using oxycodone, they should gradually wean themselves off it. The symptoms of withdrawal can include panic attack, muscle pain, fever, and more.<br /><br />So if you are taking oxycontin drug for something and are starting think that you may have an oxydodone addiction just remember the first thing you should do is to contact the doctor that prescribed them too you.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpwZj_wlU_Sk3xfjJJ9PxryVJs6vjywmClXWQIPe5vppvm06EXl1Nvf9mdKZb52emhiyskaaZduxIzIEfhyt58vYA1cKX28-na0Gd5_VRqeaRLZtEDuvt9JzRRmG88RrLeH4KMcaLH6TX4/s1600/oxycodone.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="290" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpwZj_wlU_Sk3xfjJJ9PxryVJs6vjywmClXWQIPe5vppvm06EXl1Nvf9mdKZb52emhiyskaaZduxIzIEfhyt58vYA1cKX28-na0Gd5_VRqeaRLZtEDuvt9JzRRmG88RrLeH4KMcaLH6TX4/s400/oxycodone.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The reason for this is that they can set a schedule to wean yourself from oxycodone. If that dose not work or you think it will not they more than likely know of an opiate rehab that can help you.<br /><br /><b>·</b><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Contact prescribing physician<br /><br /><b>·</b><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Make a commitment to slowly wean off of oxycontin or percocet<br /><br /><b>·</b><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Go to an opiate addiction rehab or treatment facility<br /><br />One of the best ways to get help to overcome this nasty addiction is to go to drug rehab. I would try and locate one within driving distance from where you live then you family and friends can come to the rehab on visiting day to support you. It is very important for a recovering addict to feel that they matter and are loved. I know for a fact that a lot of addicts feel that they are not.<br /><br />The good thing about going to inpatient drug treatment or rehab is that you can be medically detoxed from oxycodone. Most people with this type of addiction are afraid to go through withdrawal and being detoxed medically you can rest assured that you will not suffer from withdrawal from oxycodone once the prescription medication they give you to ease the pain of withdraw kicks in.<br /><br />A lot of people who become addicted to this medicine will also use heroin because its cheaper but its probably more addicting and one could end up with a<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><a href="http://is%20hillbilly%20heroin%20running%20your%20life%20and%20you%20want%20to%20know%20how%20to%20stop%20using%20oxycodone/"> hillbilly heroin addiction</a></span> which can be worse because you never know what the heroin is cut with.<br /><br />I would suggest that if you want to stop using oxycodone that you seek help right away because that things will get worse I know this to be true because it happened to me.

It has been my experience that being methadone is an opioid drug then your best bet to successfully beat methadone would be going to opiate rehab.<br /><br /><b>·</b><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Make up your mind that you really want to stop drug abuse<br /><b>·</b><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Locate an exceptable rehab near you<br /><b>·</b><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Then make plans to enter substance addiction treatment as soon as you can<br /><br />If you are struggling to beat an <a href="http://www.heroinaddictionhelpguide.com/how-to-beat-methadone-addiction/"><span style="color: #0b5394;">addiction to methadone</span> </a>then think about drug rehab and taking the proper action to do something about your problem. It all starts with action and therefore it all starts with a decision to take action. Surrender to the idea that you can no longer use drugs successfully and then make the decision to do something about your problem. The only thing that is required is action.<br /><br />You can ask for help and ask for guidance and people will generally show you where to go and what to do. If you ask around and ask the right people and ask those who care about you where you can get some help they will almost always direct you towards treatment. <br /><br />You might get on the phone and call around to local treatment centers and ask them what you need to do to get some help. Either they will help you directly or they will point you in the direction of someone who can.<br /><br />Now once you are at this point of earnestly seeking help for your problem then you are almost right where you need to be. The only thing left for you to do now is to start the ball rolling and then never stop. That means that you need to start chasing a new life in recovery and start taking massive action every single day. <br /><br />This might start with a trip to rehab and it will only end on the day that you die (or relapse). Now you definitely do not want to relapse and so your new goal in life is going to be to aim for continuous personal growth. For many people this will be a spiritual quest, but it does not necessarily have to be put in religious terms in your mind. <br />You can pursue a new life in recovery and make it one of continuous growth without getting caught up in religious ideas. <br /><br />Some people will gravitate towards a more spiritual solution and that is fine. The truth is that the solution is holistic and that can easily accommodate both a spiritual and also a less religious approach.<br /><br />Pushing yourself to grow holistically in recovery is really the point of any spiritual quest, and any drug rehab that is doing their job properly will push you to do this in your recovery. Most rehabs actually will do this and so it is up to you to follow their simple suggestions and take massive action after you leave rehab.<br /><br />Good luck<br /><br /><br /><br />Bapakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11849233108020546986noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3022864684190748451.post-79844993507342185142012-12-19T15:15:00.000-08:002013-03-24T10:22:05.394-07:00How to Recognize Heroin Overdose Symptoms and what you can do to help<br /><br />When someone experiences heroin overdose symptoms, they may find that it comes upon someone who is unconscious with blue lips.

If the patient realizes what has happened to him, he may have the presence of mind to call for medical help but this is very rare and usually not the case because they are enjoying the high so much and do not want to see it end. Most drug users do not overdose on these drugs intentionally. They simply take too much when they are partying and getting high.<br /><br />I was a heroin users for over 30 years and my thing was shooting heroin. Now keep in mind that this can be particularly dangerous if you do not know how pure the dope is that your getting. I was kind of a greedy addict and I would shoot a lot more dope than what was necessary.<br /><br />The wise person knows that the intent of the user does not matter. What he knows is that if he does not help a person suffering form an overdose, that person is likely to die. The key to survival is acting as quickly as possible.<br /><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;">How to help someone that has succumbed to an overdose of heroin</span></b><br /><br />Where I came from when someone fell out or overdosed the first thing we would do is empty their pockets and relieve them of any dope or cash that they had on them. Then we would do what we could for them. Sometimes it was as easy as putting ice on their private parts and other times we had to call an ambulance.<br /><br />If you have ever had this experience and lived through it and are still using heroin I would suggest that you seek help right away because you never know when you will take a fatal overdose its kind of like you never see the bullet that actually kills you.<br /><br />There are many good opiate rehabs out the that can help you with your addiction to heroin. The good thing about them is that the addict can be medically detoxed so they will not have to experience any harsh heroin withdrawal symptoms<br /><br />Make plans to locate a rehab near you today and give them a call. I can tell you this I am glad that I went to rehab because I am clean and sober today. If I had not have made the decision to stop using heroin I seriously doubt that I would be writing this trying to help others to get clean.<br /><br />Good luck<br /><div><br /></div>Bapakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11849233108020546986noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3022864684190748451.post-89557959575024442512012-12-15T11:41:00.000-08:002013-03-24T10:22:05.486-07:00What are the withdrawal symptoms of hydrocodone and how can I get through them without using<br />Here is a preview of the withdrawal symptoms of hydrocodone one can expect if they have been using this prescription medication for and extended period of time.

The key to overcoming any addiction is to take real action in solving the problem. <br /><br />Sometimes people can fall into the trap of thinking that genuinely wishing things were different will actually change anything. In fact this sort of thinking will only make a drug problem worse and the only thing that will ultimately help an addict is to take drastic action and do something about their problem.<br /><br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsbq8pKgXcsck6bj_y609fSYAxrzcqEmgY4FLo8moTtsCZ6xcOoYSe-Jcm63yfZoMdZEFQIgIaFWkXYV2SAAp0JZexBBrTHySsPHonV-Qrn0_w4_7BW3hjHGHNNo9rMv8v9YAXgq2pK0P6/s1600/hydrocodone.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="299" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsbq8pKgXcsck6bj_y609fSYAxrzcqEmgY4FLo8moTtsCZ6xcOoYSe-Jcm63yfZoMdZEFQIgIaFWkXYV2SAAp0JZexBBrTHySsPHonV-Qrn0_w4_7BW3hjHGHNNo9rMv8v9YAXgq2pK0P6/s400/hydrocodone.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Add caption</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;">Options to rehab could be attending 12 step meetings</span></b><br /><br />Now one of the biggest steps that a person can take is to go into a drug treatment center. There are some alternatives to this of course, as someone could instead just try going to a few 12 step meetings for example. <br /><br />But that is not generally going to have as big of an impact as going into rehab will have. In fact, when you check into treatment you will probably end up going to some 12 step meetings anyway. But you will get a lot more help than just this as the benefits to going to an inpatient drug rehab are a lot greater than simple exposure to 12 step meetings.<br /><br />Consider the fact that you are being removed from the environment in which you used drugs to make it through your<a href="http://cbdrugaddiction.blogspot.com/2012/12/all-about-how-to-stop-snorting.html"> <span style="color: #3d85c6;">withdrawal from hydrocodone</span></a>. This alone is a huge factor that many people underestimate. When you check into rehab for several days you get a clean break from the temptations of using drugs, and you also get a clean break away from some of the people who may have had some influence on your drug intake. Getting this clean break is essential in getting started on your recovery.<br /><br />Now the whole key to doing well in drug treatment is to take massive amounts of action. If they suggest that you do something then you do it twice. If they suggest that you do to a meeting each day then you should probably go to 2 each day. <br /><br />If they suggest that you get a sponsor in recovery then you should probably get a sponsor and call them every day and pick their brain to the fullest. If they suggest that you read some literature then you should probably read everything that you can get your hands on. Get the idea? Those who do well in recovery are the people who go really big in taking action.<br /><br />If you want to make a tiny bit of progress in your life and then relapse, then simply take a moderate amount of action. Do a little for your recovery. This produces poor results without fail.<br /><br />If you want to stay sober, then you need to go big.<br /><br />Good luck<br /><div><br /></div>Bapakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11849233108020546986noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3022864684190748451.post-61401331920561017422012-12-11T09:36:00.000-08:002013-03-24T10:22:05.579-07:00Here’s How to find Free Drug Rehab Facilities and get addiction help<br /><br />Trying to find free drug rehab can be a daunting task. When you are in the position of needing one for yourself or a loved one, money is usually the last thing about which you are concerned. However, the financial burden of typical rehabilitation facilities is a real issue.<br /><br />Finding the location of a free program largely depends on where you live or spend most of your time. Knowing that one exists in will not save you much money if you have. Your first stop should be to do a basic internet search for “<a href="http://cbdrugaddiction.blogspot.com/2011/06/how-to-find-free-drug-rehab-for-people.html"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">free drug rehab programs</span></a> + your state.” This will give you hundreds of websites to browse and inspect.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4fbbCHBP2_niARtFk7qkoh21azRG5DuXPOeAMqHuIlT7uwu-58crWu_ZrdRLhJfMLN4Q6aHS0d3TrfGk2-nWIqvdiD2PYw2gb5LXYc-2Hcld5oJrJOBkMzaeO4HUUPkOZjmXNaEaOH7nK/s1600/addiction-treatment-facility.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4fbbCHBP2_niARtFk7qkoh21azRG5DuXPOeAMqHuIlT7uwu-58crWu_ZrdRLhJfMLN4Q6aHS0d3TrfGk2-nWIqvdiD2PYw2gb5LXYc-2Hcld5oJrJOBkMzaeO4HUUPkOZjmXNaEaOH7nK/s400/addiction-treatment-facility.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;">How to find a free rehab</span></b><br /><br />If you are looking for detailed information about a variety of places in one spot, you can find it by visiting www.interventionamerica.org. This comprehensive website lists free rehabilitation centers in all 50 states with more than 14,000 listings. A basic description of each place is included, as well as the address and phone number, so you can call the facility yourself for more in-depth answers.<br /><br />If you need to narrow your search down more, it allows you to choose a facility based on treatment needed and whether or not they accept insurance. Do not quit searching it is also even very possible to find a state funded drug rehab in your area.<br /><br />The first and hardest step to finding a free drug treatment program completely free of cost is admitting that you, or someone you love, has a drug addiction and desperately needs one in the first place. With a little internet research, finding a program you can afford in your own state will not be a barrier to getting the addiction help you need.<br /><br />There are many free drug rehabs and treatment centers out there that can help you to overcome addiction but you have to do the footwork. This basically means that you will have to take action and start looking. One thing you could do is look for a state funded drug rehab.<br /><br />Get out your phone book and call all the rehabs you find and ask them if they can help you if they can not ask them if they could direct you to a <a href="http://cbdrugaddiction.blogspot.com/2011/05/government-funded-inpatient-drug.html"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">state or government funded drug rehab facility</span></a> that may possibly be able to help you.<br /><br />Now if you strike out here you can do a much larger search. One thing you may want to ask yourself is that if you are willing to go to a rehab that is not near your home town; for instance it could be in another state. This is just some of the things you may have to be willing to do to get the addiction help you are seeking.<br /><br />In a lot of cases going to rehab in another state can turn out to be a blessing in disguise because you will get away from all your old using cronies. So it will be a fresh start for you all the way around. It will take a lot of courage to make this move and some of you will not be willing to make this move and will die in your addiction because you were not willing to do whatever it takes to overcome drug or alcohol addiction.<br /><br />Good luck<br />Bapakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11849233108020546986noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3022864684190748451.post-60948717800613330852012-12-10T17:40:00.000-08:002013-03-24T10:22:05.671-07:00How to Get the Right Information on Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation<br />Getting the Right Information on Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation is usually difficult for most people to deal with drug or substance abuse. Most people are not aware of how to go about getting the right information on Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation and how to they can get the drug or alcohol addiction help they need.<br /><br />This information is very important before anyone makes any kind of decision that is likely to affect the interests of the family and the addict.

If they all agree, together with the addict on the need for inpatient <a href="http://cbdrugaddiction.blogspot.com/2012/12/can-inpatient-substance-abuse-treatment.html"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">inpatient substance abuse treatment</span> </a>the rest becomes quite easy.<br /><br />The next step is usually gathering relevant information and various solutions to substance abuse. Information regarding drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers can be gathered easily from various sources.<br />Getting addiction help with information on alcohol and drug addiction rehab<br /><br />Doctors are the best people to approach since they work with some of the <a href="http://cbdrugaddiction.blogspot.com/2011/07/how-substance-abuse-treatment-centers.html"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">substance addiction treatment </span></a>organizations. They can therefore recommend some of the best centers that these people can use.<br />In case you cannot seek a doctor, you can approach some of the Christian organizations.<br /><br />The pastors and religious officials in these organizations usually have some ideas on some of the local places that offer drug and alcohol rehabilitation. The good thing about approaching these people is that they can be trusted more than the ordinary people with their recommendations.<br /><br />Another way of getting the right information on rehabilitation centers is by asking around. Normally, rehab centers are not allowed to advertise themselves or their services.

However, it is important that people are informed about its main concepts which can have a wide coverage of topics. More individuals are seeking help for the treatment of abusing drugs but some of them are not able to receive proper care because they do not know fully about their situation. This article is aimed in letting the readers learn about what is drug abuse and other essential facts about it.<br /><br /><a href="http://cbdrugaddiction.blogspot.com/2012/10/learning-how-to-stop-drug-abuse-without.html"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">How to stop abusing drugs</span></a><br /><br />Drug abuse is also known as substance abuse. Any drug or substance that is administered or taken in by a person without the approval of a medical representative is considered abuse. Whether it is an illicit drug like cocaine or medicine such as pain killers, anything that is used in a certain amount that is not recommended by professionals is unsafe.<br /><br />There are also other substances that are considered under drug abuse. Alcohol, rugby and adhesives can be addictive because the exposures of people to these types of materials are very accessible. Furthermore, some athletes even use performance enhancing drugs which is a form of abuse. The power of information is very important so it is everyone's responsibility to know the definition of such term to ask for immediate treatment if he or she has it.<br /><br />The question is are you abusing alcohol or drugs and what do you want to do about your problem?<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTE2uiJ7_g3HuITiZzNQ2ltx8Q0TQH3n7UEbVT5TaVvzmeCey7s0-po0XYSTZlZi5hNk_1yFld-ZNaTIvLvliXW8HDZghSaUwyoS4ab4cbd1LW04C64R_O58Jc6aSfF6ogTi1rEcW1h1Gj/s1600/iStock_000005273638XSmall.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTE2uiJ7_g3HuITiZzNQ2ltx8Q0TQH3n7UEbVT5TaVvzmeCey7s0-po0XYSTZlZi5hNk_1yFld-ZNaTIvLvliXW8HDZghSaUwyoS4ab4cbd1LW04C64R_O58Jc6aSfF6ogTi1rEcW1h1Gj/s400/iStock_000005273638XSmall.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />If you need help or have a teenager suffering from<a href="http://cbdrugaddiction.blogspot.com/2012/10/how-to-help-prevent-teen-drug-abuse.html"> <span style="color: #3d85c6;">substance abuse</span></a> or with addiction or alcoholism then consider going to drug rehab. Doing so may be the most important step you take in overcoming your addiction and it also might be the most important thing you do in your whole life. <br /><br />The ramifications of getting and staying clean are absolutely tremendous and if you are a real drug addict and you manage to turn your life around through a trip to rehab then this truly will be the transformation of a lifetime. Do not underestimate the potential payoff of sobriety as it is absolutely huge.<br /><br />Now if you decide to go to drug rehab then you should make sure that you are really ready to stop using drugs. If you are holding on to any reservations about using later on then it is probably best that you not even go to rehab just yet and instead start working through those reservations and figure out what you are holding on to. <br /><br />If you cannot let go of these reservations then there is no way that you can stay clean and sober for any meaningful period of time.<br /><br />Once you have made the decision to truly surrender to the disease of addiction then you are ready to take action. The process of surrender itself is deceptively simple because essentially you just need to let go. Let go of the struggle to control your drug use and simply let everything slide. If you can let go then this means you are in a position to actually do something about your problem.<br /><br />While you are in drug rehab it is important to keep an open mind and start preparing for your eventual release. What you need is a solid plan for after you leave rehab and if you do not come up with some sort of plan then you are likely to relapse. <br /><br />The most important thing about this plan is that it involves taking massive action each and every day. In other words, recovery needs to become the focal point of your life if you are going to have any sort of shot at staying clean and sober.<br /><br />Most people leave rehab and they make a feeble attempt at staying clean. They might hit a few meetings or take some of the suggestions from rehab but they are not attacking their recovery with the desperation of a drowning man. That is the level of intensity that you need to stay clean and if you do not motivate yourself in this way then you will probably relapse. Instead, take massive action and you can be assured of a successful recovery.<br /><br />Good luck<br /><div><br /></div>Bapakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11849233108020546986noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3022864684190748451.post-17862450947137530822012-12-06T12:24:00.000-08:002013-03-24T10:22:05.949-07:00What are the Signs Of Heroin Use and how can I help an addict overcome addiction <br />The signs of heroin use just like of other drugs can be specific and non specific. In the specific category, one cannot deduce the drug of use just from looking at the signs. This is because all the signs resemble all signs that may be caused by other drugs. The specific category includes all those signs that are only experienced in the use of heroin.<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Signs of heroin abuse </span><br /><br />Some of the non specific signs of heroin use include euphoria. The user feels a surge of euphoria especially if administered through an injection. Dry mouth and skin flushing is also a sign. The pupils become constricted and the person breaths heavily. A sure sign is that you may be talking to the addict in question and they are nodding off this is a sign that they got a good dose.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhBVqE_8bqInOXtoftaCopyyGRULBNQbGbl-GED9xvebD8qmz-pwXvsRNq9wLzwNgyOArO6iAWInE05uf51kSqWT8Yec9qHXslVGCHDlCuq20UFGtIN-i-xhcjQ6dedW6S7vdYNZLfX9Fo/s1600/mg1106fig2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="353" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhBVqE_8bqInOXtoftaCopyyGRULBNQbGbl-GED9xvebD8qmz-pwXvsRNq9wLzwNgyOArO6iAWInE05uf51kSqWT8Yec9qHXslVGCHDlCuq20UFGtIN-i-xhcjQ6dedW6S7vdYNZLfX9Fo/s400/mg1106fig2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />When I was using heroin if I did not get a nod the dope was no good and I would be pissed off.<br /><br />In case of a heroin overdose, the person may show signs of altered wakefulness with loss of memory. Since heroin is an opiate, the user may experience signs of opiate use such as itching, nausea, vomiting and constipation that may necessitate the use of laxatives.<br /><br />Specific signs can include the finding and identification of paraphernalia such as dirty spoons and lighters, syringes, belts or rubber tubing and other specific remnants like tin foil and small squares of paper.<br /><br />There is plenty of<span style="color: #3d85c6;"> </span><a href="http://cbdrugaddiction.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">heroin addiction help</span> </a>out there for those who want it<br /><br />People who are trying to get off of heroin should consider going to drug rehab. The whole point of going to treatment is to get a clean break from your old life of using drugs and also to learn a new way to live. If you don't start following some new path in your life then you will quickly revert back to your old ways and be right back stuck in a cycle of addiction.<br /><br />Drug rehab is expensive and it is by no means a magic bullet. Simply going to treatment does not insure that anyone is going to stay clean and sober in the least. The whole key is action and if someone does not take a massive amount of action when they leave treatment then they are pretty much destined to fail. <br /><br />You have to put in a ridiculous amount of effort up front in order to make a solid start in recovery. Those who only make a partial effort will end up relapsing very quickly.<br /><br />The key to success with drug rehab is in taking action. Most people get this wrong and think that the whole key is in their thought process, or their level of willingness, or in the amount of faith that they have. None of those details really makes a difference when it comes time to actually work a program of recovery and try to stay sober every day. <br /><br />The real question becomes: "What are you going to do for your recovery today? What action or actions are you going to take today that will help you to stay clean both today and tomorrow?" <br /><br />If you don't have a solid and confident answer for those questions then you are not on the right path in recovery. The point of any rehab center should be to challenge you with those questions and to teach you how to ask them of yourself every single day. If you are not taking massive action in pursuit of recovery then you are headed for relapse.<br /><br />Most people do not sense the urgency or intensity that is necessary to stay clean and sober. The approach recovery with too little enthusiasm and think that a modest effort can produce decent results. This is not the case and a modest effort will get you nowhere in recovery. <br /><br />You have to put in a massive effort in order to cross the threshold of what will keep you clean and sober. Anything less than this and you will fail in recovery. You have to take massive action.<br /><br />I would suggest that you seek help right away because if you continue to use heroin there is no telling what will happen but I can tell you this that it has been my experience that things will get worse because addiction is a progressive, uncureable, and fatal disease.<br /><br />Good luck<br /><br /><br /><br />Bapakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11849233108020546986noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3022864684190748451.post-60488205045923829172012-12-05T14:10:00.000-08:002013-03-24T10:22:06.041-07:00What can you expect from Residential drug and alcohol Treatment Facilities for Addiction Recovery<br />Many people simply do not know what to expect from a <i>residential drug and alcohol treatment facility</i> because they have never been. In general, a proper detoxification process that is supervised by a medical doctor, some therapy or counseling sessions, the most appropriate treatment, bonding with the other patients, as well as enough rest and sleep, are what you can expect to get out of residential treatment for addiction recovery.<br /><br /><i>Drug addiction recovery </i>can be found in a residential rehab setting<br />More so, while inside a competent treatment facility, the patients have definitely no access to any illegal drug. Hence, you are really assured that your or a loved one's drug addiction will be overcome, especially that after discharge, each patient is recommended to have an aftercare program.<br /><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;">Residential treatment methods for addiction recovery</span></b><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4fbbCHBP2_niARtFk7qkoh21azRG5DuXPOeAMqHuIlT7uwu-58crWu_ZrdRLhJfMLN4Q6aHS0d3TrfGk2-nWIqvdiD2PYw2gb5LXYc-2Hcld5oJrJOBkMzaeO4HUUPkOZjmXNaEaOH7nK/s1600/addiction-treatment-facility.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4fbbCHBP2_niARtFk7qkoh21azRG5DuXPOeAMqHuIlT7uwu-58crWu_ZrdRLhJfMLN4Q6aHS0d3TrfGk2-nWIqvdiD2PYw2gb5LXYc-2Hcld5oJrJOBkMzaeO4HUUPkOZjmXNaEaOH7nK/s400/addiction-treatment-facility.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://cbdrugaddiction.blogspot.com/2012/11/inpatient-treatment-and-drug-detox-can.html"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Inpatient Residential treatment centers for addiction</span></a> recovery have methods that vary from one center to the next. So as to know what is best for you or for a loved one, you should undertake research by checking the most popular ones in the internet, or by visiting these centers yourself.<br /><br />One can also ask some former <i>drug addicts </i>who have been treated by such type of facility. If you do not know any former drug addict who is now sober, you can go to some support groups. Since it is a bright, healthy, and drug-free future that is at stake here, it is important that you choose the most suitable treatment center.<br /><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;">Residential treatment can help you stop using drugs</span></b><br /><br />Then, once a <a href="http://cbdrugaddiction.blogspot.com/2011/05/drug-rehab-is-available-from-state.html"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">residential drug rehab center</span></a> has already been chosen, it is time for packing up clothes, shoes, toiletries, and other essentials for good hygiene. And when you have yourself or your beloved checked in, there are forms to be filled up. Afterward, a urine sample is taken for a laboratory test that will determine exactly what drugs were taken, for the proper medication which is recommended by a medical doctor and implemented by a medical staff. During the withdrawal process, there will be sufficient rest and sleep.<br /><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;">Overcome drug addiction in residential treatment and find recovery</span></b><br /><br />Subsequently, there will be lectures, meetings, and individualized therapy or counseling sessions.

With the help of the supportive, loving, and understanding family, you or your beloved can now look forward to a much better life.<br /><br />Residential treatment have saved a lot of peoples lives although some people do not stay clean for long after they left rehab because they failed to take the action they needed too like they started skipping AA or NA meetings and going fishing. I know that if an addict or alcoholic does not stay on top of their recovery and gets lazy they will eventually relapse.<br /><br />It dose not matter where you came from how much you used because what matters is what you want to do about your addiction situation and doing the next right thing. In most of your case I would have to say that the next right thing is getting some help to overcome drug addiction.<br /><br />Good luck<br /><div><br /></div>Bapakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11849233108020546986noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3022864684190748451.post-1271331827891629852012-12-03T13:03:00.000-08:002013-03-24T10:22:06.134-07:00All about how to stop snorting hydrocodone and overcome vicodin addiction <br />Drug abuse is a problem known to almost everyone and people are trying new things to get high like snorting hydrocodone. There are many substances that people abuse nowadays. Most addicts and abusers do not care whether they are using prescription or non-prescription drugs as long as they get the euphoric effects that they want. One of the common topics among health and support groups is sniffing hydrocodone.<br /><br />Hydrocodone is usually prescribed to patients who are suffering from extreme pain. This includes patients who are under rehab and are experiencing <a href="http://cbdrugaddiction.blogspot.com/2012/11/how-to-get-through-hydrocodone.html"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">hydrocodone withdrawal symptoms</span></a>. Some patients would lie to their doctors about the pain that they are feeling just to get a higher dose of drugs like vicodin which contains hydrocodone.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiunN6imJf-KuvaNt92KCCLAEURKvFOF1OO_a9ukL3RCil-PqUf0AJcfsPI8psOU38ipZagSPLA50Mk4aNfp2NYCiwJZmdDVG3ZRTyQ22OtmyQsoDnb-plyewQ310DqS4bDI1dJvNPf260R/s1600/hydrocodone.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="299" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiunN6imJf-KuvaNt92KCCLAEURKvFOF1OO_a9ukL3RCil-PqUf0AJcfsPI8psOU38ipZagSPLA50Mk4aNfp2NYCiwJZmdDVG3ZRTyQ22OtmyQsoDnb-plyewQ310DqS4bDI1dJvNPf260R/s400/hydrocodone.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;">Is it possible to overcome an addiction to vicodin?</span></b><br /><br />If this prescription medication is abused long enough the person will develope a<a href="http://cbdrugaddiction.blogspot.com/2012/10/understanding-side-effects-of-vicodin.html"> <span style="color: #3d85c6;">vicodin addiction</span></a> but with help one can beat vicodin.<br /><br />Sniffing hydrocodone is done by crushing hydrocodone tablets however it comes with many side effects such as clogging the nostrils and addiction. Many prefer crushing the tablets than swallowing them because of the faster onset. Whatever reason lies beneath, it is a must to consult a doctor before ingesting or doing anything with hydrocodone to avoid detrimental side effects. Doctors who specialize in drug rehab care are best to consult when it comes to hydrocodone<br /><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;">What are my options for opiate detox</span></b><br /><br />Opiate addiction is an addiction that has a deep hold on its host. The effect of the drug on the addict produces a much distorted view of reality on the individual addicted to it. The addict in general finds there self truly at the mercy of the drug. Opiate addiction treatment has many methods that have evolved to give the struggling addict a fighting chance to rid their selves of this addiction. Some addicts attempt to do the unsafe method of trying to “going cold turkey opiate detox” This in essence is the practice of stopping the opiate addiction by just stopping the use of the drug without any other assistance medically. This is not a very wise choice for the addicted user to follow it has many very serious consequences.<br /><br />There are several rehab centers that can help you beat a hydrocodone addiction and any of them can help you if you are willing to put in the footwork. What is footwork? It is the massive amount of effort that it takes to stay clean and sober after you leave rehab.<br /><br />Being in rehab is easy. It is like a mini vacation. Staying clean and sober while in rehab is a breeze. Anyone can do it, even the hardest of drug addicts. There is no real challenge in being clean while in rehab. <br /><br />They even give you medication to help you to feel more comfortable. This should be obvious, that the real challenge starts when you leave rehab. When you finally walk out of the door of treatment, you once again have complete freedom to do whatever you want. No one can stop you from using drugs and alcohol, and it is entirely your choice if you want to do so.<br /><br />So how can a rehab center prepare you for this moment? How can they prepare you to choose sobriety in spite of this freedom? What can they do to show you the path to sobriety?<br /><br />Most rehab centers take the approach of giving you "tools." They teach you about relapse prevention, they introduce you to the 12 step program, they encourage you to go to meetings every day, they might line you up with some counseling or intensive outpatient after you leave, and so on. <br /><br />This grab bag of "tools" approach works for some people and not for others. But it is actually a very good approach because some solutions will work better for different people. For example, there are some people who do just fine with regular counseling every week, but they do not do so well in group therapy. On the other hand, some people excel in meetings and groups, but do not really benefit much from individual therapy. So it is nice to have a variety so that you can find what works for you.<br /><br />Once you find what works for you, the key is to apply it in your life with a great deal of enthusiasm. If you just take a modest approach to your recovery solution, then you will probably end up relapsing eventually. Instead, you have to put a full effort into recovery and take massive action. That is the key--to take massive action every single day and do positive things towards your recovery. Anything less is a recipe for relapse.<br /><br />Good luck<br /><div><br /></div>Bapakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11849233108020546986noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3022864684190748451.post-80603096181405530952012-12-02T16:04:00.000-08:002013-03-24T10:22:06.227-07:00How to use Alternative Addiction Treatment to overcome drug abuse <br />It is an astonishing number as that is the best method available now to fight against substance abuse and alcohol addiction. Is it likely that one can go for better alternative treatment than this one? Are there any other addiction cure methods existing for the individuals who want to quit alcohol and substance abuse?<br /><br /><b>·</b><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Celebrate Recovery program is a great alternative addiction treatment that is based on the<br /><br /><b>·</b><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>12 steps using Christian recovery principles<br /><br /><b><br /></b><b>·</b><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Treatment for alcohol and substance abuse<br /><br />Perhaps, some alternatives may be present, but the popularity is very less and almost many of them do not know about them. For instance, there are treatments available that include 12 step alternative celebrate recovery program that is based on Christianity and religious programs that provide helping people become sober and clean.<br /><br />It should be studied, whether these alternative treatments are more efficient or not. It is tough to get precise figures on the achievement of the 12 step recovery program. But, it is much tougher to obtain the correct data on whether the small alternative programs work or not.<br /><br />Honestly it is a matter of personal preference. It really is not important at all which model or what type of recovery program you choose. The thing to keep in mind is once you do choose one you will have to be committed to taking action to make sure that you are doing all you can to stay alcohol and drug free. It may not be easy at times but once you have been clean for a while you will be glad you made the right decision to <a href="http://cbdrugaddiction.blogspot.com/2012/10/drug-addiction-help-and-most-effective.html"><span style="color: #0b5394;">stop drug addiction</span></a>.<br /><br />Many of these programs have been helping drug addicts and alcoholics to stop using drugs and find a new way to live for quite some time now. They all work but you are the one that has to work in and for a successful drug addiction recovery you will have to work it every day.<br /><br />There are many drug rehab centers that can help you to get clean and sober and change your life, but only if you are willing to put in the effort. Rehab by itself is no cure for addiction and really does not do anything special all by itself.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxg4prKhpnpxerxrcfBnQObJzeW__Y34LvCTehD9KGvxsiVihuQ83Rz6lapQVufs6uDFUZRmMgKud0aeut2fmeMmag8Fdh54_A91Pnn7CltesKWeUsrtk1npvkQP2pVrqkAenicOd2GHDQ/s1600/iStock_000005273638XSmall.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxg4prKhpnpxerxrcfBnQObJzeW__Y34LvCTehD9KGvxsiVihuQ83Rz6lapQVufs6uDFUZRmMgKud0aeut2fmeMmag8Fdh54_A91Pnn7CltesKWeUsrtk1npvkQP2pVrqkAenicOd2GHDQ/s400/iStock_000005273638XSmall.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;">It is a must to use you drug addiction recovery tools as follow up care after leaving substance abuse rehab </span></b><br /><br />What is truly important is the follow up care after rehab and the amount of work and effort that the recovering addict is willing to put into their ongoing sobriety. If the addict is not willing to put in this ongoing effort to maintain sobriety, then there is really little point in going to a California rehab center at all.<br /><br />Of course nobody really knows if they have this effort in them or not before they try....not even the addict themselves. So sometimes the best we can do is to encourage treatment and push people to try and recover and hope for the best. But staying clean and sober for a year is a little bit like climbing Mt. Everest or becoming the greatest sports hero on the planet. It takes an awful lot of work and no one who is not super dedicated to the goal is going to follow through with it.<br /><br />In other words, if someone is just flirting with the idea that they might like to give sobriety a try, then this is a terrible candidate for rehab. The fact is that they do not have much chance at this point until they have a radical shift in their experience. <br /><br />They would have to break down much further and surrender totally to the idea that they cannot use drugs or alcohol successfully. The person who is casually imagining that recovery might be a good fit for them is nowhere near the point of surrender. <br /><br />The true point of surrender that actually has a chance at producing meaningful sobriety is more like a point of serious desperation where the addict cannot picture themselves either living or dying, either continuing on with drug use or getting clean. <br /><br />They reach this desperate point and cannot imagine a possible future. That is the moment when they should give in and agree to go to rehab. If they are at this moment then it is likely that they will have a good shot at staying clean. This is because they have finally broken through their denial and can admit that they are totally screwed up due to their drug use.<br /><br />Now if they become willing to do something about it then get them to go to rehab and expect them to transform their lives. If have not yet surrendered then it is probably not worth pursuing just yet.<br /><br />Good luck<br /><div><br /></div>Bapakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11849233108020546986noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3022864684190748451.post-29262037927789764382012-12-01T15:59:00.000-08:002013-03-24T10:22:06.319-07:00How to get through opiate withdrawal and recover from addiction<br />The recommended method for to get through the process to get through opiate withdrawal is by weaning the addict off the drug by tapering the addict’s amount of use of the Opiate. One of these ways the person can use is opiate addiction treatment.<br /><br />Another way to accomplish this may be as simple as using other drugs that are similar but much more able to allow the therapeutic benefits of monitoring the weaning off process. The process usually always results in some form of discomfort and is a sometimes frightening experience to the addict and others closely involved in the addicts life.<br /><br />Regardless of what path the struggling addict chooses the withdraw pains are usually there to accompany the addicts preferred method of quitting. Emotional and physical symptoms such as deep sweats, insomnia, diarrhea, high blood pressure and many other physical symptoms cause the addict who is attempting to recover from opiate addiction with a very frightening and intense road to travel.

The important thing you need to realize is that the tip will only work if you have settled your mind on a positive point and if you are determined to recover. Take all the negative thoughts out of your mind, as they are the only barriers to stop you from achieving the goal.<br /><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;">Drug addiction recovery tips</span></b><br /><br />The best tip the recovered people may advice is to join an addiction treatment center that has salutary therapy programs, such centers are the Christian-drug-addiction and alcoholism cure centers. When joining a rehab it is very important to look for a suitable one that meets all the characteristics of good rehabilitation programs.<br /><br />An important tip given by the people are that are living examples of being in recovery share that in order to have good social relations is that an addict should maintain sobriety, because only sober people indulge with the society without any troubles or should I say that when they do have troubles they deal with them in a productive manner.<br /><br />This part gets hard for an addict due to the discriminating judgment by the people that they are trouble makers as they are rarely in the conscience.<br /><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;">Steps to recovery from opiate addiction</span></b><br /><br />Why enter a drug rehab? How does it help an addict? Actually the answer for these questions is that a recovery center distracts an addict by showing him the life and provides them a safe society where they can easily mingle while learning how to stop drug abuse.<br /><br />Basically the technique is to distract yourself so that you cannot think of any factors that may distract you from recovery; furthermore, the distractions are all recovery related to help you to learn some addiction recovery tools to use when you leave rehab. There is also the benefit of medical detox to help you make it through opiate withdrawal.<br /><br />If you have the desire to stay clean and sober you will want to continue the practices at home then you don’t need to join any drug centers, however going to one is still a good idea because you can probably count on one hand the number of individuals you know that can do this that is if you know any at all.<br /><br />More use of internet is an example of great distractions but once again you should use it productively not looking at porn and other stuff like that because before you know it you may be want to learn how to overcome a porn addiction.<br /><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;">NA can help you overcome addiction</span></b><br /><br />There plenty of recovery orientate sites out there you found this one. There are even live online NA meetings.<br /><br />Just follow the guide and make sure you grasp the determination and faith with full force, just in few days you will feel the changes and you will be able to enjoy a normal and colorful life again.<br /><br />Good luck<br /><div><br /></div><br /><br /><br />http://cbdrugaddiction.blogspot.com/2010/05/how-you-can-get-through-heroin.htmlBapakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11849233108020546986noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3022864684190748451.post-26676129157289231952012-11-30T13:31:00.001-08:002012-11-30T13:31:28.563-08:00Quit Marijuana The Complete Guide<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

This is often overlooked and many people today have serious problems when they try to quit weed or pass a drug test.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyeMucK0BiegqEOMSPF8FZs-8JNjSliur2F_sfX3zCOaH5BQXbY35sz7BYrBjCmPhiQnLNi87aLilpRfPsOiRQCR0Y2E0i85C2U-B8dnGAN6l6QfjX1w-3uo19mTbLfFiBsmRhplICOvE/s1600/Quit+Marijuana+The+Complete+Guide.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="220" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyeMucK0BiegqEOMSPF8FZs-8JNjSliur2F_sfX3zCOaH5BQXbY35sz7BYrBjCmPhiQnLNi87aLilpRfPsOiRQCR0Y2E0i85C2U-B8dnGAN6l6QfjX1w-3uo19mTbLfFiBsmRhplICOvE/s400/Quit+Marijuana+The+Complete+Guide.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />2) NO MARIJUANA DETOX<br /><br />It's crazy, but we find that most people trying to quit weed do nothing to help detoxify!<br /><br />Detox is more important in marijuana than in any other drug.<br /><br />This is because the chemicals in marijuana have an ability to stay in your body for a very long time.<br /><br />Detox designed for marijuana will flush your system of built up toxins helping you quit weed easily. It will also stop marijuana cravings created in your body. Sometimes these occur months after you stop smoking weed.<br /><br />**Your problem starts right here**<br /><br />When you inhale weed, THC moves from your lungs to your bloodstream quickly to get you stoned.<br /><br />Something you might not be aware of, is that from then on, marijuana is completely different to any other drug! Why? Because after getting you high the metabolites of marijuana store in your fat cells & can stay there for months!<br /><br />Don't think that makes it harder to quit weed...? <a href="http://5138frlsa-ds5qbxvly2zp1v8z.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=DRUGADDICTION">Think again.</a><br /><br />With marijuana getting stronger over time this is now one of the main reasons people find it so hard to quit weed. While still inside your body, marijuana gives you things like a lack of focus, mood swings, low energy, headaches, stomach pains & more bodily symptoms.<br /><br />The real problem...? Cravings to smoke even more marijuana.<br /><br />IMPORTANT: You may already have a build up of toxins in your body!<br /><br />Smoking too much gives you a build up of toxins, which can cause you to smoke more often, bringing you even more toxins...<br /><br />It never ends.<br /><br />To quit weed without understanding your addiction is kind of like somebody trying to quit smoking cigarettes, yet still fueling their addiction by sucking down 2 or 3 smokes every single day for months!<br /><br />If you are trying to quit weed and you have cravings to smoke weed, I'm asking you to conisder if going against your desire is the easy way. Or are you in fact doing things the hard way?<br /><br /><br />Are You Physically Addicted To Marijuana?<br /><br />It's true that marijuana creates mostly a psychological addiction in regular users.<br /><br />However, in recent times science is proving that marijuana is also physically addictive.<br /><br />This means that contrary to the common belief of many people actually smoking weed, marijuana actually can create physical cravings within your body that will cause you to smoke more marijuana.<br /><br />You might notice that when you quit weed you experience real physical symptoms, like not being able to sleep, a physical feeling of "something missing" or even problems with your metabolism and just eating food regularly.<br /><br />By removing toxins that create this addiction you can eliminate cravings. You can also eliminate physical withdrawals. This is much easier than trying to fight with your own personal thoughts, feelings and created desires in psychological addictions.<br /><br />Finally smokers have a real method to follow in order to quit weed!<br /><br /><br /><br />What is the best way to quit weed?<br /><br />The best proven method to quit weed is to deal with both your body & mind.<br /><br />Re-establish the way you actually think about weed and also give your body a marijuana focused detox.<br /><br />This isn't a long process, is good for your health, and proven the most successful method to quit weed. Once you think about marijuana differently and detox denies your body of cravings and withdrawals, you will find yourself turning down weed offered to you, naturally.<br /><br />This is a great feeling!<br /><br />Imagine having a clear mind, increased energy and better health -and not only that- but a new ability to turn down marijuana easily no matter how difficult it is for you now. You can smoke weed less and on your own terms - or not at all.<br /><br />With this new ability you can quit weed or just smoke when you want to. Even people that smoke marijuana daily for years can quit easily any time they choose - or just cut back to once a month because it's up to you.<br /><br />Remember, you will be in control of your addiction and you will have the power to make that decision.</div>

Start Taking Care of You Now!<br /><br /><br /><br />Testimonies From those who have purchased our ebooks or books on alcoholism<br />(What others have to say about our books and other reading materials on the website)<br /><br />I LOVE YOUR column and I have your book. I thought I was detaching but after reading today I realize I have a long ways to go... <br />Hi Angie n Frank, this book is really helpful for me. now it is easy for me to understand my husband and his alcohol problem. i will try my best to be calm n patient while his drinking n give him all my love n support.......................you guys are doing great job. keep it up. God bless you. thanx.<br />regards. R. <br /><br />Hi, I downloaded your ebook How to Detach... Info has been very helpful! Thanks for your time & thanks for all the info! T. <br /><br />Hi, this isn't so much a request for marriage guidance, but a thank you for this website (Heaven Ministries). It has answered questions that have remained unanswered for me for a long time and very few people actually understand that I'm not mad to stay with my husband who's an alcoholic binge drinker. I am a Christian and love my husband. We need more articles of this type, as opposed to 'get rid' and move on advice. Anyway, thanks again you have really encouraged me and given me hope.<br /><br />Angie Lewis's book gives insight into the mind of an alcoholic and the chaos that ensues. I truly believe that most humans are touched by either alcohol or an alcoholic at some point in our lives. This book is a great resource and I encourage those who have authority to place this book where many can draw from the experience, wisdom, and ministry that Angie and her husband offer. (Review of Angie's book, The Alcoholism Trap)<br /><br />Hi Angie. I read all of the articles on your website on addiction in marriage. I came across it via google and it gave me hope, as in my heart I know I didn't marry the wrong person, even though people on the outside would try and say different. Too many people give advice to 'jump ship', but I know divorce has it's own inherent problems. I have learnt so many strategies for living life in peace, no matter what the circumstances. It means a lot to me to have you and your husband praying for my husband and marriage. I look forward to reading more on your website and going back to the material when I need a little encouragement!<br />Thanks again!<br /><br />Yesterday morning, I remembered I had purchased your book “The Alcoholism Trap”. We sat down and read it aloud to each other. Both of us found so much comfort in your words and the bible verses. You are right…only God can delivery Jim. Thank you so much for the strength in your words! I know the battle is not won and there is a long road and lifetime commitment involved. But God is here! And your book helped us to realize that. Thank you, Angela! And God bless you and your ministry! G.M<br /><br />I want to thank you Angie for your transparency and for your article “Overcoming Addiction”. 1st I am addict. Until Friday I was drug free for a year. Much of what you wrote was very true for me in my life. Last night I prayed and sought Gods will about this, but I had so many thoughts flooding my head I couldn’t think and went to bed.. Today I awoke and began reading your page after some googling. Your brief testimony and direction in addictions have led a few things.<br />1."For God did not give us a Spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and self-discipline." 2 Timothy 1:7<br />2.All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness." 2 Timothy 3:15-16 <br /><br />Angie, I contacted you a couple years ago regarding my soon-to-be husband who had a drinking problem. A lot has happened since then…we did get married and for awhile he seemed to do better… for awhile. Jim even struck out on his own and bought out a business and has been seeing success! But things started spiraling downhill awhile ago to the point where I was questioning my faith and God’s “unwillingness” to help. Jim was changing and so was I. Neither of us for the better. Last week, I finally admitted to myself that my husband was an alcoholic (previously, I would admit he had a problem…but never admitted to anyone but myself that he was an alcoholic) and that it was time that I took responsibility for my actions as his enabler. I journaled my thoughts and prayed again for the strength to step back from his addiction and be given the wisdom to know the difference between enabling and being a supportive wife. Sunday night, two days after my own admission, I got a call at work from my husband asking for help. He had hit his personal rock bottom. I was glad that with all we’d been through that he still knew he could count on me when the time came. I picked Jim up and in tears he told me that he was an alcoholic and he needed help with his recovery. Yesterday morning, I remembered I had purchased your book “The Alcoholism Trap”. We sat down and read it aloud to each other. Both of us found so much comfort in your words and the bible verses. You are right…only God can delivery Jim. And I believe that God has been trying to tell him for some time that he needed to make the change. But it took Him to grab Jim by the scruff of the neck on Sunday and say “Son! Enough!” for Jim to not only hear but to listen to his Father. Thank you so much for the strength in your words!</div>
