Getting off Drugs

Getting off Drugs

What is the best way to get off drugs? To me the best way to get off drugs is very simple.. Don't pick  up. If that sounds really simple, it’s because it is. Not drug ever put a pistol in my mouth and made me take it. As a addict that is way too simple of a thought for me. My whole life using was always very complicated in my head. I had a million and a half of excuses locked and loaded, ready to be used whenever I needed a reason to do drugs. That’s because the disease of addiction lives in my head. I cannot out think it. It tells me that I have to get high. That my life cannot continue without it.

If you have come the decision that you have an addiction, the next thing that you should ask is, what are you going to do about it? You most likely have tried many different tactics such as, cutting down on the amount that you use, or using only on particular days. You may have tried switching to another substance have gone for extended periods of times without getting high. But then eventually the addiction came back. Some sort of negative consequence may be hanging over your head like a hearing for DUI or spouses leaving you until you get some help.

Whatever your own personal reasons that make you get to this point or not, something usually is happening to your life that gives you the push that takes you off the edge. This is what's commonly called hitting the bottom. The only real question is how much of the bottom can you take. Hitting the bottom means coming to the conclusion that you are sick and tired of being sick and tired, or you are not getting the same enjoyment from the drugs as you used to. You are only eliminating those uncomfortable feeling. You don't feel as good anymore when you're getting high but you feel worse when you're not getting high. If you're using hydrocodone or any other sort of opiate drugs, you have the additional discomfort of the withdrawal symptoms when you quit using.

Unfortunately many people will stay in a situation for a very long time and an addict’s disease brain can talk them into almost anything. If you feel you have no choice but to continue using you most likely to hide behind the denial. An addict will find justification to keep using and block out the painful awareness that the addiction is showing them.

So to me in the end the best way to treat a hydrocodone addiction , or any other addiction is to not use. That is if you haven’t had enough. If you haven’t had enough then there is a life of misery out there waiting for you. The choice in the end is up to you.

This story starts out with a young boy playing in a field. His name is Tim. He has a dog by his side. Tim is running through the field with the dog following close behind him. He comes across and bag at the edge of the field. The boy stops for a moment to inspect the bag while the dog sniffs it. He tries to open it but it has a lock on the zipper. The boy leaves it there and runs off to get a wagon because its too big for him to carry. He comes back with the wagon and loads it up and starts walking home. Before he gets close to home he goes off into the woods and covers up the wagon with some branches. He doesn’t want his father to see it and take it away. Tim hears his mom calling for him to eat dinner and he runs back home with the dog following close.

The front door opens up and in walks Tim’s sad addiction father John. John is dressed in a really nice black suit. He works for the NSA. He walks up to the kitchen table and hugs his wife. Tim jumps up and hugs his father. You can tell it’s a happy family. John sits down and they all eat together. Maureen the mom ask John how work was. He says it was really busy and mentions some trouble that his department is looking into. She smiles and everyone finishes dinner. As soon as dinner is over Tim runs back outside to play. He looks around to make sure no one is watching and runs to the spot he is hiding the bag. He shakes it and pokes it and it feels metal inside. He checks the lock and thinks how he can open it. He runs back to the house and into the tool shed looking up at the big pair of metal cutters on the wall. Just then his dad comes up behind him startling Tim. John asks him what he’s doing and Tim tells him nothing. John pats him on the head and tells him to wash up and get ready for bed.

    We all have had some sort of pain happen in our life. It could be the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, losing a job, or being disrespected by someone in the world. Normal people go through these moments in life and eventually move on. But as a addict I sometimes choose to dwell on this things. I dwell and linger and turn it over and over in my head. I will make myself so angry or so sad that its hard to enjoy the life around me. This is what resentment is. Resentments will eat me alive. Now having a bit of clean time now I kind of know what I’m doing. I know I need to put positive in and not dwell on these moments. The thing is sometimes I’m addicted to the sadness. A sad addiction is a terrible thing. The disease of addiction loves when I feel this way. It wants me to enjoy my sad addiction. It tells me it feels good. It lets it drive me. I hide it from my sponsor and the people around me. I let it drive me and fill me with pain. There is a way out.
    The best way I have found to deal with my sad addiction is to first call my sponsor. I need to get those thoughts out into the light of day. Sad addiction will die in the light of day. Then I must start working on positive things in my life. Exercise, learning, spending time with friend, and taking care of my personal responsibilities will all help ease my pain. It all depends on how much effort I’m willing to put into not being sad anymore. I will admit that I have let myself be sad for a very long time.
