Two things that helped me kick a 10 yr. heroin addiction .......

First, and most important, I went back to my trust in God (after many years astray). This has been the only way.

Second, whenever I had the slightest desire to use, I made it a point to remember ALL of the BAD things that resulted in my addiction. These are so numerous, and distasteful, that they would immediately overshadow any good physical/emotional feelings that came from getting high.

Sounds simple, but it's not (without God ......)

I'll keep our fellow FReeper in my daily prayers.

Great advice!

I also made a list of all the things that I stood to gain through sobriety and the list is long and affects all facets of my life.
