I am a pill/oxycontin addict who is still in the process of rehab..this is my 3rd time there.?


Question:
im not really sure rehab works, i've tried to kick the habits but once your an addict nothing stops you from wanting the drugs..
any other way than rehab for me?

Answers:
Maybe once you get back out of rehab a change of environment will help. It did for me. I moved to a place where I didn't know anyone and had no contacts with anyone using drugs. It's a lot easier to stay away now, I can surround myself with good people who do not use. You'll miss your old environment for a while but it's worth it if it keeps you away from drugs.

Keep yourself occupied, I know there are charites and services that could always use some help, like the local animal shelter or church. Helping out will keep you busy and keep your mind away from all that crap. I know how it feels, I know how hard it is to keep your head above the water, but if you take it one day at a time it will work.

I have never attended the meetings, I have stayed clean myself. I personally don't beleive that we need the help of other people to be able to stay away. Meetings teach you to be dependent on a community of former addicts who make up rules as they go along. If it's really in you to quit, you'll find a way not to get caught up in all that again...
Rehab will never make the desire for the drugs to go away. That has to come from YOU.

Rehab will work if you want it to work.
Meditate

Good luck to you!
Do you really want to quit? This is the first step in stopping an addiction. You may know that you need to quit, but you may not want to quit.
rehab real never really work untill YOU TRULY want to quit. if you truly, truly want to, go to rehab, detox, and just use will power and say no. you will never quit untill you want to
