Many people have been using drugs so long it seems like that they do not want to or can not stop because they are caught up in the grips of addiction. I am here to tell you that I have been there and it was nothing nice. I lived to find ways and means to use more people to get drugs. That’s right I pretty much used everyone I came in contact with. If you want to learn how to stop using drugs or better yet, learn how to stop chasing the dragon. I will be right up front with you it will take nothing less than a major lifestyle change. I like to suggest my own personal approach to recovery. You may be wondering what in the heck that is. Well what this means is working on the mind, body, and the spiritual aspect of ourselves.

Smoking heroin is dangerous

For are mind I like to recommend 12 step meetings like NA or AA. I have also found that reading recovery literature is good also. Another thing is that we do not have to focus on recovery 24 -7 so if you think you are in a good place as far as your recovery goes read a novel or go to a movie. We all need a break from our busy schedule from time to time.

For the body I like to suggest that you eat a proper diet. This does not mean junk or fast food. I would say to eat plenty of fruit and vegetables everyday. I personally go for a long walk everyday whether I want to or not. This will help keep you from thinking about heroin smoking . I have not wanted to go on occasion and have found that if I did I ended up feeling much better.Then I am glad I pushed myself to go.

OK for our spiritual aspect we can attend church, or even get a meditation CD. I have done both of these and I have found meditation to be very relaxing. What every way you chose is fine as long as you are working on your recovery. We have a saying around the NA tables that if you are not working on your recovery you are working on a relapse don’t blow your recovery by trying to smoke heroin. I will leave you with that thought.

Good luck
