In the end addiction is addiction regardless what your addicted to ...Do you have a therapist you can talk to ?

aftercare is something i forgot about after my last stint in rehab,stayed clean for 3 months and boredom took over and it didn't take long before i was back in the same situation.i went to my first aa meeting today in a long time and i loved it,thanks to a good friend that gave me a mental beating.i haven't felt this good in awhile.anyways i was given 2 books by my sister ,1 is called the power of now and the other is a book she ordered online called the alcohol and addiction cure.

hey joann, kinda in the same spot. i am in a small town and tried AA, but in a smal town the dont welcome me very much. they dont see addiction as addiction and if alcholol is not my DOC they dont thimk i am in the right place. also want information to read. but i will tell you my dad sent me an AA book and said to do the work and just switch the DOC to pills. also he sent me a couple of other books for me to look at myself and why i liked to numb myself.

I have never read any books related to addiction, but I think it might help. I need some motivation to do this and maybe some inspiration. I have just started tapering and I am already struggling(mostly mentally).

Hi, I am just barely admitting I have a problem - cant even say the word Addiction! I am trying. I am wondering if anyone knows any books that would help? I recently read a few articles of people who have stopped smoking by reading some books available that target that addiction but I cant seem to find anything to help Pain Killer addiction. I found lots of advice and info. but nothing like an AA Program that offers at home, self help.

put me on a drug called Benicar for my blood pressure. Not only did it help my blood pressure, but it gave me sort of a high feeling which I thought was weird, so I looked it up and the drug is good for people with migraines and for people with stress in addition to lowering your blood pressure. You CAN live without alcohol. But I'm concerned about your headaches. You need to at least check your blood pressure the next time that you are in a drug store or Wal Mart.

Addiction is categorzied by maladaptive behavior that is typically out of character for the person, including doing things that are harmful, without any regard for the consequences, in order to get the drug. Addiction includes mental cravings for the meds, where dependency is almost always just physical in nature. It's important for you to determine which category you would fit into, if indeed this is even a concern for you.

It was given out like aspirin. It is very unfortunate that it became a schedule one drug, with the drug enforcement administration tracking down phjysicians who prescribe it. Valium does degrade situational awareness as well as intellectual acuity, and may interfere with driving safety, although that is more of a problem for the first time user. I have used it (prescribed by a physician) rarely, when under extreme stress, and then only for a day or two, and never became addicted.

So I'm 29+5 weeks and I know I want a drug free delivery. I just want to know if any of you mama's out there have any good reads that helped put you in a mindset for a drug free delivery? It what helped prepare you? Thanks!

Wow. Guess you all beat me to it. I had not heard about it till now. Thank you for the link!!

I have been on methadone now for about 1 and a half years......for much of this time i was using drugs (Synthetic Heroin) as well.....yes i know that that isnt good...but due to various reasons it was very hard to completely quit.......(FYI I was on the pills alone for only about 7 months when I decided for financial reasons that I had to try to quit or a least cut back a lot)........ Now that two of my closest drug friends are gone.....

A few books i've found on Amazon that can help you: Prozac Backlash: Overcoming the Dangers of Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, and Other Antidepressants with Safe, Effective Alternatives - Joseph Glenmullen MD. The Antidepressant Solution: A Step-by-Step Guide to Safely Overcoming Antidepressant Withdrawal, Dependence, and "Addiction" - Joseph Glenmullen MD.

Additionally, I have a few friends in the medical field that were able to direct me to the docs specializing in drug addiction. I attend al-anon as well, real life experiences, for me, are a much better insight to addiction that reading a book, altho all are helpful.

There definitely exists the possibility of abuse and addiction with this drug. And its not any better than the other narcotics - just different. But it comes with its own sets of problems....... Read up on it...

I do not know your drug but I know addiction. It sometimes takes many tries and the single hardest thing is staying off the drug. (That's why it is called an addiction). Think about how you started using again. What was the situation; what do you think caused it? Rehab centers sometimes need to be repeated. Did you have aftercare, groups? Therapy? after treatment? Was your situation intolerable without drugs. Are you in chronic pain? Start over. New start!
