HEALTH How to avoid a drug relapse
10 key practices for those wanting to quit drugs or alcohol and move on to an empowered addiction-free future. by Jost Sauer
A
ddiction is not a disease, it is the result of not knowing how to quit drugs. Most people
want to quit long before they actually do, simply due to a lack of information. They quit and change nothing about their lives afterwards and then stress, anxiety, anger, loneliness, boredom, purposelessness, or the memories of great drug-highs drive them to relapse. Then there are relapses triggered by people or places or by unrecognized triggers that can instantaneously overrule the conscious mind and the intent to not do drugs. The latter leads to actions, which in turn, leads to shame and confusion and further relapses. Cravings can also lead to relapse.
These can be of the ‘medicinal’ kind, where life after drugs is such an emotional and physical mess that people desperately need drugs to take away the pain and to make sense of life again. Or cravings can be a longing for peak performance or altered states, because life after drugs is too ordinary, mundane, or plain boring. The key to recovery is to prevent relapse and this requires changing everything in life after addiction
