Off Of Drugs With A New Lease On Life

Off Of Drugs With A New Lease On Life

By James J Elleyby

Finally, you came up off that nasty drug habit. Most likely, you came to that realization that one of you is gonna have to die. One of you must be laid to rest. You, or the habit. Because you both can't stay here together any longer. You can't continue on the drug, because it's abusing your life. But, when you abuse drugs, then drugs will abuse you right back. That's just how the cookie crumbles, bumble bee.

Now, you need a new game plan for life. You can't go back to the old way of doing things. You may not even be able to go back to good old friends you once had. Even the ties with some good family members may have been broken. Maybe you even lost the loving support of your spouse or your partner in life.

You gotta go through the motions of putting the pieces of your life back together again! That ain't no joke. It's gonna take some real work, and some real effort too.

Stay focused, though. The most important thing that you need to do now is to give your life a new purpose. After you have identified a purpose for your life, you need to then make a commitment to that purpose. You need to adopt a new meaning for your life.

If you fail to accept a new purpose for your life, or if you fail to make a strong commitment to that purpose for your life, then you stand a high chance of returning to the drug. Because, the only purpose of a drug abuser is to simply use drugs. But, now that you're off drugs, you must find a new purpose for your life. This new purpose is what will give your life new meaning, and it will provide a direction for you to walk life in.

It can be very challenging to obtain gainful employment for a person who just comes off drugs. Most likely, their mind is still a little fuzzy, and their skills are probably a little week. Interacting with people can be a real doozy to deal with too. So, all of this can make moving forward rough. But, it's not impossible. A committed person can totally do it. Make a commitment to live, and you will live.

It's important to keep yourself busy. You must keep your mind occupied, and you must be engaged in doing something. Don't be idle. Don't try to sit around and do nothing. Because, if you get bored, you can easily slip back to the drug. You can easily begin to entertain harmful thoughts, as your body continues to further detoxify itself and as your brain's functioning returns to normality.

Consider volunteering somewhere. Give your time and your services freely to a good cause. You can volunteer at a church, at a hospital, at an elderly home. You can offer to work freely at a charity organization too.

If you can't find a place that will accept your charity or accept you as a volunteer, then volunteer your own self. Get a few trash bags, and walk around your neighborhood cleaning up. Sweep the driveways and the streets in your areas. Be committed. This mobile action may be good for you too, because it will allow your mind to burn off toxic materials that much faster and that much more efficiently.

You must develop a loving relationship with yourself. You must always talk to your own self in a positive way. Always say good things to yourself. Always remind yourself that things are going to be okay. Always remind yourself that you are strong, and you are making it. Always remind yourself that better is on the way!
