Those that have never suffered through addiction have no idea what the addicted are going through or how easy it is to become addicted. They also don’t realize how dangerous it can be for them to detox from addiction. Alcohol detox is the most dangerous when it comes to detox.
Detox is 100% better than continuing in the addiction. I smoked for 10 years. When I quit, it was a lot easier than I thought it would be. Cold turkey, from a pack on Thurs to nothing on Friday. I wasn’t intending to quit, it just turned out that way.
I realized that 90% of the addiction was in my head.
how easy it is to become addicted”
Only took me 3 months to become addicted to morphine, I was probably addicted after 2 weeks, but I really didn’t have a choice in the matter though, it was absolutely necessary, Thankfully the Doctors knew I was hooked, they did it on purpose, and before it got too bad they put me in the Hospital for 2 weeks to do the surgeries. Still it was 3 months of hell, plus I smelled like a DEAD ANIMAL with all the rotting flesh on my body. 1 full week of withdrawls after the surgery. But after going through withdrawls it sure did change my attitude on Pain Pills.

Couple years ago I had a tooth pulled. They gave me a dozen Vicodin. I decided to take them as directed to see what happened. I got through five tablets. By then I had lost a whole day somewhere and was pretty much spaced out. I can only imagine what the harder stuff does. No thanks.
