Chapter 2: Accept That You Need Help

Synopsis

Accepting that you need help when battling with an addiction can be extremely challenging for an individual to do. It may possible even be the hardest step that a person has to take in order to begin recovery. This process is often times made difficult due to the delusional state of mind that drug addicts have. They no longer see reality for what it is. Instead of seeing the damages that they cause to their life they only see the positives that they think the drug is giving them.

The following chapter will provide you with information on why it is so important to accept that you need help and some tips on how to do so.

You Must Accept the Truth!

If you plan on ever getting your addiction under control, the first and arguable most important step you will have to take is to admit and accept that you need help and that you have a problem. Being dishonest with yourself will not make your problem get any better it will just make things much worse.

It is understandable why some people have such a hard time coming to terms with how out of control their addiction has become. It is hard mentally to accept such a fact and can cause a person to feel depressed or like a failure once they see how bad things have truly become. Although difficult and sometimes painful, this step is absolutely necessary if you wish to change your ways. In fact, this is the first step in almost every addiction recovery program that there is. If you look at the twelve steps you will see step one is to admit that you are powerless over you addiction. This doesn’t mean that you can do nothing to stop your addiction, it means that you do not control your addiction, your addiction controls you and you will need help in the process of recovery.

This process can be done with a therapist or a drug sponsor. Some people may even choose to accept this reality in privacy because the truth might be extremely hard for them to except and they do not want to emotionally explode around others. No matter how you choose to do this it is important that it gets done. You will not be able to beat your addiction and save your life without admitting that you have a problem.
Some people may continue to neglect to accept the truth. These people who do not leave the denial stage will likely never recover from their addiction and will probably die from their drug use. Put a stop to your drug addiction and accept the fact that you have a problem before it is too late.

Chapter 3: Drug Detox Basics

Synopsis

As mentioned before in this book, some addictions will require a person to go to a detox clinic before entering a rehab program. This is due to the fact that the withdrawals from the particular type of drug they have an addiction to can make them physically ill or even kill them. A common addiction that can lead to this is alcoholism. It is important to know the facts about detox and what a person may experience while going through a detox. It is highly advised that if possible you go to a detox center and don’t try top detox on your own. It is best to be supervised by trained professionals in case and medical problems should occur.

Know What to Expect

It is important that I am honest with you about the topic of detox. It will not be an easy process. A person will likely experience many different side effects from their drug use. These side effects may be emotional, physical, or mental. A person will likely experience many uncomfortable feelings and not feel great about life during the process of detox but it is absolutely essential for recovery. After all, how will you ever begin your journey to recovery without first going over the speed bump of detox? The following are some examples of what a person may go through during detox:

Sweats, Chills, Vomiting:

A person may experience these uncomfortable side effects while detoxing, depending on what drugs they were addicted to. As stated before, heroin and alcohol addiction commonly cause these types of side effects when detoxing.

If you are going through this process at home instead of a clinic, which is not advised, you need to make sure that you hydrate yourself. Even if you know that you will not be able to keep liquids down you need to keep drinking. This is because you need to replace all the water you are losing from sweating and vomiting. Another reason it is advised to detox in a clinic is the fact that they can give you certain medications to help you feel better. A common drug prescribed to heroin abusers is methadone. You must be careful with methadone however because methadone can be addictive itself.

Mood Changes:

Detoxing from a drug can have great impact on a person’s mood. A person who is usually happy, or seems to be because they are high, will be in a completely different mood. They may become irritable and snap at people for no reason or they may become depressed and think that life is no longer worth living. It is important to show understanding and compassion to a person who is going through this. Although it may be difficult to deal with their attitude, you can take pride in the fact that you know you are helping them with their problem. If you are the person going through the detox you should try your best not to take it out on others, but mood changes are expected.

Cravings:

Cravings are another one of the side effects of addiction. When a person is in the process of detoxing they will likely have very strong cravings. Some drugs may produce stronger cravings than others, so depending on the addiction a person has it might be a moderate craving or might be one that completely controls their thoughts momentarily. The trick to getting through this is to distract yourself when you feel a craving coming along. Talk with a friend or do a crossword. Anything that shifts the focus of your mind away from drugs will help. Although cravings feel like they will never go away, they do, and they actually get less often over time.

There are also of course positive outcomes from detoxing. The following are some examples:

Better Health:

Even though in the early stages of detox you might feel terrible, your health will actually already be starting to improve. You will notice the color coming back into your face and the dark circles leaving your eyes fairly quickly. You will feel more energetic and feel better than ever.

Mental and Emotional State:

You will notice that you begin thinking clearer and that things in reality begin to make more sense. This is because your mind is no longer being filled with the cloud of fog that addiction was causing. As well, your emotional state will improve; you will be able to handle situations in life much better and more reasonably.
