DETOX
Sad to say. Becoming drug free and getting the poision out of my body is only the first of many steps.
Detoxing can be very hard and after years of hard drug use you normally have to go to the hospital and get som medicine while you are detoxing.
CHANGES
I will not talk about and the practic choices you should make right now. But more about the negative toughts that har been surounding you due to a hard lifestyle
The most difficult thing is to become part or even to feel a part og society again.
The drugs is often only a symptom of a much bigger problem. At least it was to me.
After going out of rehab i was very scared and shamefull to be the person i was.
I had be lying, stealing, hiding my addiction (not very easy) and beeing very untruthfull for many years.
I figured out working with my selfesteem, selfawerness and guilt/shame would be important things to work with. But also very difficult to work with.
To become a part of society and to feel beeing å a part of the society is often very difficult for drug users and addicts. The first year i dident Even know how to speak to people without speaking about drugs and crimes.
This is some of my tips:
Well up early. When i sleep til lunchtime i Actually feel a little bit ashamed. Getting up early is a important step in the right way.
Read newspaper. Read books. Talk about the topics you read about to your family.
Try making New friends. A lone addict is not in good company. Try making new friends. Be honest about your past when and if you can thrust the person.
Try getting a normal job. If it is difficult for any reason you could work voulentary a day or twp each week. This will give you a big boost in the right direction.
Do things right. Dont steal. Dont lie. Pratice beeing honest. Admit if you done something wrong.
Try to makes thing right with people you have hurt as long as it does not hurt you or the person. ( dont tell the mafia gut you screwed his wife)
Many more thing will come. But these are some of the things that helped me alot.
And you can share this as much as you want.

Thank you i am.

Hope to reach out to some people.
Great story mate, and I am happy you are open with it. Stick to your goals, it must be something in life that motivates you as much as I want you to be 😊except Rockn Roll mate, here is maybe something you should consider - met an addict from Copenhagen on this journey, we are still in touch - he has a good life now, waiting his kid number 2 😊and getting married as me
Thanks. Iam absolutely motivated. And to have my kids smiling and knowing where i am and that they Så le up with me im the house every morning is the greatest feeling in the world. My worst fear is that my kids will be insecure because of my coming home clean and have to go away for some months and them back again and so on. It's not healthy for them. And the best drug in my life is seeing that smile on my kids face and knowing they love me and that they know i love them . No to brag. But i know iam å good dad as long as i am there.
But the problem is when in have to go away og i relapse. But luckily the last 4 years og has only been about 6 months on drugs. But still i wished there was none. Cant change the past.
To be honest i think addicts sometimes are the best parentes to think like å child.
Addicts are very often childish and some of out devolpments is paused because of drugs so many of us have a great gift leveling with out kids.
Thanks for the support. Hope to grow a little bigger and get noticed so people can learn something.
Mate, you are the biggest superstar for them 😊 as my little guy was for me, when he died - it was strange I didnt die myself, of sorrow - I have got things a bit on distance now so it is easier to live, but I have wounds that never will heal because of this.
At least I am now father for a young guy who has never had a father, since his dad died at the age of 2 - so if there is a God, at least he has done things easier for us with this 😊
Take good care of yourself, step by step we are getting there 😉I am watching you mate, and I will never let you down - just stick to the things that motivates you the most, and it seems that it is your family...as it should be 🤗
Cool. Great way to mange your liferespekt to you.
I feel like alot of parentes feel shamefull to have a good life after their lost.
But i think only the strong and smart contionius their life in a good way.
Your loved one would never wish you to be sad all your life.
Wise words mate, and you are right 😊
