Trying to Stop While I Can

Yes it is very hard stopping any addiction. Been there before. Firstly you have to want to stop, and then you have to stay away from triggers and people that aid you or make you feel like you want it. Alot of it is going to be will power and positive thinking. Having a back up person to talk or chat with as soon as you feel the urge can help. Remembering your end goal and knowing what will or can happen if you continue, is also a helpful reminder. Taking each day as it comes, and setting small short term goals? I don't know if this will help for you but keeping your mind busy and occupied so your not thinking about the drugs so much? You only need to stay clean for a certain time before your body stops craving, but the brain is the hardest to beat. Addiction of any kind is never easy. Staying away from temptation and changing your patterns can help.

Congratulations on taking this brave and scary step. Your life is so precious and is yours to create. Be kind to yourself, believe in yourself and don't loose sight of hope and this very moment now that you know and want to stop!!
