Helping yourself
October 17th, 2009 . by adminTo help yourself in recovering from drug addiction, write a list of the negative aspects of continuing with the existing behaviours of drug addiction; write a list of all aims and achievements you want to succeed in after the first stages of withdrawal have passed.
Exercise helps to ease symptoms of withdrawal so try and plan some sort of exercise regime; joining a gym will allow you to make new friends and adopt a new social structure.
Use music, art and writing to help express your emotions during the withdrawal process. This may be a useful log for reflection in the future and can help others if you decide to choose that route in the future.
