Take Responsibility
Taking responsibility for your addiction means taking responsibility for your behaviors. Before you can do this you have
to understand your drug use is your own choice. Every time you use (getting money, buying more, preparing to use,
using) there is a cycle that you complete. Each step through the cycle you have a decision to make. "Do i continue or do
i stop" You could decide to stop at anytime and turn another way. Or you decide to continue along in your cycle. Your
decision in both cases carry responsibility with it. It was a decision you made. You can't blame genes, diseases, your
friends & loved ones for the decision you made, or shift responsibility to taxpayers. Taking responsibility is owning your
own decisions, taking action to correct them, and paying your own way. All recovered addicts took responsibility for their
addiction and made the decision to correct their bad behavior. Those who haven't learned how to take responsibility for
their drug use end up dependent on recovery groups for sobriety and stuck in a never ending cycle of relapses.

Find What Works For You
We can provide you with all the free tools to help in your complete and full recovery, but without a strong desire and
total commitment from you chances are you won't succeed. The best way to find what works for you is to learn from
your past mistakes and what didn't work. The only way to do this is to keep trying new things, changing your outlook
and viewing your addiction from a different angle, and then get feedback from those you trust. Always keep in mind
what worked for one person doesn't always mean it'll work for you. If you have been using a recovery program and
it doesn't seem to be helping you stop trying to make it work. Face the fact that it may not be right for you. But don't
quit. Look for something else that interests you and give it your best shot. Always keep an open mind to all the
resources available to you and never discount a program until you try it first. This will leave you more avenues to
choose from when something didn't work. But whatever you do don't ever give up!
Before recovering from drug addiction can begin you must first stop using drugs long enough to notice the effects
that drugs are affecting in your life. If you lack the hope and self-control to do it on your own you must learn to believe
and have faith in God. Having faith in God is the key to gaining the hope and courage to defeat your drug addiction.
We recommend bible study, church, self-help activities, stress management and coping skills, goal setting, and
developing a belief in yourself. You will never quit using drugs if you believe it's to hard or you can't. Your ability to
change your internal communication to one supporting of sobriety will determine whether you succeed or not. Weigh
the cost of quiting against the consequences of your drug addiction. Understand quitting drugs also means giving up
all your old hangouts, bad habits, and drug addicted friends and finding new empowering ones. Absolute abstinence
may be the hardest decision you'll ever make. It's a decision that leads to a complete transformation in lifestyles.
One of the most valuable resources you can use in finding what direction you should take is the bible. Truly recovered
addicts (addicts who abstain from using all drugs and alcohol) will always testify to their belief in god as to what helped
them the most in a successful recovery and then maintaining absolute abstinence. Jesus Christ has a way of leading
you down the right path if you seek him out and ask for his help. Have faith and believe in him and he will rescue you
from all your misery and give you freedom from your drug addiction. His love is known throughout the world and in the
hearts of all true believers. We recommend you listen to gospel music and find a Christian church and let Jesus help
you find what works for you. Christian fellowship is totally free and the best support group you could possibly ask for.

Reasons To Quit
There are as many reasons to quit using drugs as there are apples on a tree. Finding a good reason that will motivate
you into quiting is the key to getting you started on the road to sobriety. The most common reasons include physical
death, spiritual death, poor health, disruption of your social life, jail and prison terms. Everyday over 50 people die
searching for that ultimate high. They carelessly overdose and unexpectedly die in their drug addictions, the foolish
ones who end up 6 feet under. Spiritual death on the other hand is soft and gentle and you may not even notice that
you're spiritually dead. You begin to experience life from a cold, dark, and distance place, a place without happiness or
joy. A place where your thoughts are drifted by the wind with no direction or purpose. A place called hell. Then there's
your destroyed health. Wishing you could run a mile but tire at a walk through the park. Waking up every morning
feeling blue and your muscles are sore and your bones ache. Without good health you pretty much don't feel like
doing anything. But let's not forget your social life and how your selfishness drives good friends away and attracts
people of a bad crowd. People disparate for a fix and could careless who or what happened to you. Friends who'll
dump you off behind dumpers and leaving you all alone to die. Your social life turns into a nightmare that spins totally
out of control. Last but never least, a one way ticket to prison. Sneaking around and selling your drugs just to get by
until your next fix. Hiding and dodging the cops always thinking you're smarter than they are. Never thinking about all
your friends behind bars and their foolish mistakes. Always playing the game of chance until your last dance. You can
play but they'll always get you in the end. So what will it take for you to quit? A slap upside your head or death by a
careless overdose. Maybe you're the stubborn type and think it'll never happen to you. That's what they all think until
the lights go out and there is no last fix. Find your reason to quit and save yourself from all the pain and sorrow future
drug use will surely offer.

Sobriety Is Achievable
Help Others-Help Yourself
A valuable key to helping yourself is to help others in their daily needs. Take some time out from battling your drug
addiction and go visit those in need of companionship and show charity to those without. Rest homes and nursing homes
are a good place to start. Visit total strangers and then listen to their stories of hardship and times of trouble. Travel to
homeless shelters, hospitals, and other places and understand there are people a lot worst off than you are. This will
give you a new perspective on how much you should value your present situation knowing others have problems so
much more overwhelming and permanent.
Caring and sharing is very important in helping you free yourself from the shame and guilt associated with your drug
addiction and getting back on you feet and on with your life. As you probably have noticed addiction is greed and a
selfish need and the longer you live in that lifestyle the less you tend have in terms of substance and spiritual wellbeing.
Everyone pays for their addiction one way or another and the sooner you repay your debt to society the sooner you'll
be able to move on free from the shame and guilt caused by your addiction. This can be done by simply helping a widow
mow her lawn for free or maybe helping an old lady carry her groceries to her car. The more you give the more you'll
get in return so give abundantly everyday. There's nothing more satisfying than knowing your doing the right thing.

Jesus Is The Path To True Freedom
Above everything else that you may learn on your journey to freedom from drug addiction is learning and knowing you
have a friend in Jesus. When times get overbearing and there seems to be little hope for success, just know Jesus is
standing next to you providing encouragement and giving his love and support. When you trip and fall Jesus is the one
who helps you back on your feet with a pat on the back and a kick in the butt to keep you going. Have faith in Jesus
and belief in yourself and with plenty of courage you can defeat even the hardcore drug addictions like heroin and meth.
Jesus Christ is your path to freedom from your substance abuse and drug addiction. Put your trust in Jesus Christ!!

Change Your Friendships
Changing your friendships is key to a long-term successful recovery. One of the most difficult things recovering addicts
have to deal with is old friends and bad influences. Drug addicted friends are recovering addicts biggest downfall. All
drug addicts want to free themselves from the bondage addiction creates so when they see you breaking free they tend
to try to pull you back down and get you using again. In order to change your lifestyle and create new drug-free friends
you will need to distance yourself from all bad influences. A good way to do this is to do things you know they wouldn't
like. If they like listening to rock-n-rock and hate country music, when they stop by play county music. If they hate going
to church, persistently ask that they attend church with you. Do whatever you know they wouldn't like and in time they
will get the hint and start leaving you alone. Everyone needs a true friend, so you will need to find new good quality
friendships. Take a look around your community and find social activities that you can become involved with that
drug-free, healthy (not recovering) people attend. It's hard at first but with a little courage most quality people are
open to having a new friend around and in time will value your friendship. True friends don't offer you drugs.....EVER!

Forgive and Forget
One of the major stumbling blocks that keeps addicts from moving past their addiction is their unwillingness to forgive
all those people who hurt them or ripped them off. The drug world itself carries with it a lot of hate and backstabbing
because thats where people are surviving in a desperate world of getting their next fix. Carrying this hatred around
with you and making plans on how you can settle the score only causes you to stop progressing in your recovery from
drug addiction. Learning to forgive those who did you wrong will free yourself from an enormous amount of burden and
possibly save you jail and prison time. Let those who refuse to forgive live with that burden and feel satisfied that they
will only destroy themselves with all their hate. Free yourself and forgive the unforgivable.

Notice The Effects
Recognizing and accepting how you behave and act towards others while intoxicated is the key to understanding the
effects alcohol and drugs has on you and your morals. All alcoholics and addicts act foolish while intoxicated whether
they notice it or not. Alcoholics tend to stumble around and fall down or repeat the same story over and over again.
Cocaine addicts tend to be very paranoid and constantly chasing that 20 minute high. Heroin addicts tend to fall asleep
during conversations and live in a distant fantasy world. Meth addicts tend to always be in a hurry with no place to go or
get lost in useless activities. The list of bad behavior alcoholics and addicts do while intoxicated never ends so we won't
even try to name them all. Being an addict I'm sure you can think of a few.
Finding ways to notice the effects drugs have on you will help you recognize your bad intoxicated behavior. One way to
do this is to hang out with intoxicated people while you are totally sober (if it's possible) and watch how they behave and
act while intoxicated. Try to put yourself in their shoes. Do you want others to see you that way? Do you have any
respect for the way they're behaving? Do they act trustworthy and would you depend on them for anything? Is that the
way you want others to perceive you? Another good way to learn and understand your behavior while intoxicated is to
record yourself getting intoxicated. Set up a camera nearby and record yourself from the your first use to your last.
Watch how your conversation slowly turns into confusion and how you begin to lose control over yourself. What are
some of the things you're embarrassed about? How are the drugs affecting your behavior? Are you proud of what you
see? Sometimes this can be an eyeopener and possibly help you recognize a need to quit using drugs.

Powerlessness Theory
There is nothing more likely to set yourself up for failure than believing that you are powerless and alcohol and drugs
are more powerful. Alcohol and drugs are intangible objects and have no power to do anything. It would be like saying
"food is more powerful than me because i eat too much". The only power something has over you is what you choose
to give it. Just because alcohol and drugs are substances that you have learned to depend on for comfort doesn't
mean they are more powerful than you are. Your lack of finding another solution to find comfort is the problem not the
alcohol and drugs. A bottle of whiskey never hurt anyone until someone picked it up and took a drink. The
powerlessness theory on addiction is a total lie and was created to cripple addicts in their recovery.
Some recovery programs teach that once you take a drink it's all over, you are powerless to stop. For some reason
the alcohol takes control of your hands and forces you to keep drinking until you are totally wasted. There is no option
to stop, for some reason your hands start making decisions for you and you become totally helpless to make your own.
This also is a total lie. People continue to drink and use drugs because they want to not because they are powerless.
Viewing alcohol and drugs as objects that you are allowing to influence your behavior rather than 'false Gods' directing
your life will help you change your perception on powerlessness over addiction. You have all the power within you if
you only choose to use it. Those with a lot of exposure to the disease model on addiction and 12 step treatment are
well advised to spend considerable time deprogramming and getting their heads back on straight again. All court
ordered A.A. is illegal if the court doesn't offer an alternative. The constitutional dividing line between church and state
is so clear that a parole officer can be sued for damages for ordering a parolee to go through any form of treatment
involving forced A.A.

Drug addiction is a personal behavior problem. While everyone claims to have the perfect solution to help you out of
your self-created hell, no one has ever been able to prove it. Alcoholics Anonymous claims 'it works if you work it' without
any foundation or facts to back up their claim. They believe addiction is a 'disease' that you are powerless over so it's not
your responsibility for drinking to much. This of course requires a lifetime of recovery in their fellowship. Maybe that's why
95-99% fail to maintain long-term sobriety. Residential treatment providers claim drug addiction is a disease that requires
multiple episodes in treatment and attendance in A.A. to get better, forgetting all about the research that shows drug
addiction can't be medically-treated. Drug addiction has even got educated professionals scrambling for answers. The
best solution the medical community has been able to come up with is to call it a chronic incurable relapsing disease, but
lack any scientific evidence to back up their claim. They believe more drugs are the solution to a drug problem (96% of
addicts are prescribed drugs during treatment, 45-60% of heroin addicts become Methadone addicts). Parents and
family members run out of options quickly when it comes to helping the ones they love. For the past 200 years people
have been trying to come up with a solution to the problem and no one ever has. Enoch Gordis, former director of the
NIAAA stated the following: “In the case of alcoholism, our whole treatment system, with its innumerable therapies, armies
of therapists, large and expensive programs, endless conferences, innovation and public relations activities is founded
on hunch, not evidence, and not science." So where does all this leave the drug addict in search of help?
What all the studies and research have proved is that alcohol and drug addiction is a personal choice and only you can
help yourself. In fact 77.5% of recovered alcoholics found freedom from their drug addictions totally on their own without
any help from treatment providers, drug counselors, or recovery groups. All treatment can do is give others an easy way
to make money and get you believing your addiction is something it's not. You live with your addiction everyday so it's
impossible for someone else to tell you more than what you already know. Those who fall into the selfish motivations
of others end up lost in recovery groups forever. All we can do is offer you ideas on what helped recovered addicts in
their full recovery. That's it! We strongly recommend you avoid anyone who claims treatment is a cure for a so called
incurable disease, those pretending to have all the answers, or preaching addiction is something that you're powerless
over. If you view your drug addiction as an enemy that needs to be conquered you'll have a far greater chance at
defeating it than if you think your enemy is more powerful than you are. YOU have all the power within you if you only
choose to retake control and use it.

stuck on the evil seductive obsession that happened to come along your way. I also know how difficult it is to find the
desire to quit. Just know everyone quits.

Addict in Treatment
I am addicted to Meth and not ready to quit, so please help me play the treatment game. I met a co-addict named John,
and he says that once we get out of treatment he’ll hook me up with some killer stuff that’ll really rock my world.

Treatment Assessment
When addicts are passive or avoid taking responsibility for their own addiction and rehabilitation, they will not succeed in
staying off drugs long term. In my treatment experience, the longer I sat around talking about the good and bad times or
learning how difficult and complicated sobriety was, the easier it became to shift responsibility for my addiction to
someone else.
