Movies form character, whether good or bad, depending on
which types of movies you watch. Movies motivate,
influence and inspire people to do right or wrong. Porn
will eventually turn you into a pervert and/or a sex
addict while Rocky movies will turn you into a fighter.
It will encourage you and help give you the strength to fight and beat this
heroin habit once and for all. Don't give up, hang in
there, keep fighting and WIN!
Your goal now will be to sit through the whole
Rocky
movie. That's like 2 hours. Yikes. But if you can manage
to not only watch it but also pay attention to the movie
then it will help your mind to get distracted from the
discomfort of the withdrawals. Try to take the movie
into yourself. 'Feel it'.
By now, you should be feeling better emotionally and
mentally as well, but the chills and legs pains are
still strong. So once again, fill up the bath tub with
hot hot water and then relax there for 30 minutes or
more.
While you're in the tub, think about the movie you just
saw, your favorites parts, the music, and hold on to
those 'feelings' as this will help keep you from giving
in to dope. Besides, you made it! You did it! Stay put,
relax and
be thankful.
Then when you're ready, get out of the tub, get dressed, get back in bed and stay there for as long as you
can. Getting through the midnight hours (12am-6am) alone
is hard. I seriously doubt you're going to get any sleep. You'll be lucky if you manage to get 30 minutes
of sleep. This is a good time to have a quitting buddy
by your side to help you keep your sanity through the
night. It's also a good time to watch something funny
like Friends.
Then again, get up and stretch those quads, your arms,
your whole body and switch rooms to the living room to
watch some TV. Always try to watch something
inspirational, positive or funny. Watch TV for another hour or 2.
Then go back to your bed room and get under the covers
again. Then maybe put on another good movie like
Forest
Gump and keep still for another 2 hours.
I know its hard but when you do your best to pay
attention to the TV, it helps distract your mind from
the discomfort of the withdrawals.
Then back to the hot tub for the last hot bath for that
night of day 1. Get up, get dressed. Then back in bed for as long as you can.
Stay there until the sun starts coming up.
Day 1 complete! Mission accomplished!
Put a 'check mark' on your calendar for Day 1.
Then start Day 2 and do the same thing all over again
but this time try to be creative and insert new
activities like walking somewhere else, to the mall, to
your local blockbuster or Redbox to rent a new movie.
Invite a drug-free friend over to keep you company.
Sweep and mop the house. Take the dog out for a long
walk. Eat something different. Try to be creative yet
using the same strategies to make time fly by fast and
then do it again. |

|
|
Get ready for Day 3, one more round. But first, a word on
fighting those
'thoughts' of giving up and giving in.
I realize that you will be hearing voices, (your
own voices, and others), in your head telling you how to
escape, get $20, go to the dope spot and get
your dope bag. That's normal, but it can also
become a great hindrance for you.
And you can expect this battle to go on within your
mind all day long for many weeks and even months
to come. |
 |
You must do your best to fight against those
thoughts of getting high or else they will win,
you will give in, and you will fail. Then you'll be right back
where you started.
"Someone says, "Well, I cannot help but think about some
of the places I used to go and some of the things I used
to do. I cannot help thinking about some of the old,
rotten, corrupt things I have seen and done. Sometimes I
start thinking about them." Friend, you cannot keep them
from coming into your mind, but you do not have to think
about them. Thinking is a process. The thought that
jumps into your mind is only the temptation." LDA
"We have used this illustration many times, 'You cannot
keep a bird from landing on your head, but you can keep
him from building a nest there!' These negative, filthy
thoughts, these bad things from your past, you cannot
prevent their being brought to mind from time to time,
but as soon as you realize what is happening and
recognize the thought that is crossing your mind, you
can sure begin to war against it." LDA
As fast as those bad thoughts come in, you have to
shovel them out right away. Don't let those thoughts
linger in your mind not even for a second. When those
thoughts of doing dope (heroin) come into your mind, you
have to say NO, shake your head
and then throw them into an imaginary garbage can. It's a
constant battle day in and day out but the more you keep
fighting those thoughts then the easier the battle will get as time goes on.
So then what do you think about? Think about the truth.
And the truth is, you're a mess. Your whole life is a
mess. The time to quit dope, stay clean, and turn your
life around is now. The time to change your life
is now. No more messing
around. No more excuses.
Start thinking and start planning what you're going to do with
the rest of your life; i.e. family, education, career,
work, business etc. Start thinking about how you're going
to become an honest person, a hard worker, an asset to
society by helping others improve their lives as well.
Start thinking about how you're going to make it up to
all of those whom you've hurt because of your heroin
addiction. Restitution must be paid in some form or
another. |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
Start thinking about how you're going to do a 180 degree
turn and turn your life around. Start thinking about how
you're going to live for others instead of living for
yourself. Start thinking positive from here on out. And
from now on, dwell on those thoughts.
Day 3 – 6:00am
Here we go again! Get ready for war, because by
Day 3, it's a war against you, your mind and your body. But if you can conquer
yourself, then you can conquer anything.
Focus on making it through today. |

Day 3 complete! Mission accomplished! Put a
'check mark' on your calendar for Day 3. |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
Get ready
for Day 4, but first, a word on music.
Bad music draws in negative energy/influence and
will keep you down while good music creates
positive energy/influence and will lift you up. “Thus, what you listen to literally forms what
you become”, LDA.
If you want to change the person you are
then you may want to consider changing the type
of music you listen to.
|
 |
You can see the difference in the energies for yourself.
See how you feel after listening to rap, hip hop,
classic rock, R&B, techno or whatever it is that you
listen to now.
Then
switch to
oldies 50's, 60's, the
Rocky
theme songs, Elvis songs like
American Trilogy,
You Game Me a
Mountain,
Bridge Over Troubled
Waters,
Burning Love,
Love Can Build A Bridge,
Pretty Woman,
Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, 9 To 5 by Dolly Parton,
I
Believe,
Impossible Dream, My Special Angel,
It's Now Or Never,
End of the World,
Dancing Queen, Lion Sleeps Tonight, My
Boyfriend's Back, Stop In The Name Of Love,
Great Balls Of Fire, He's A Rebel, My Way,
Runaway,
You'll Never Walk Alone,
Cara Mia, and many many more.
You can see a whole list of good, clean,
positive songs on the following website:
www.C24k.com They also have music
CD's available as well. I think you have to call
them or email them.
For the next 7 days, if you want to see a change
in your attitude, your behavior, your energy,
your emotions, your intentions, then consider
putting aside whatever it is that you're
listening to now and then try listening to the
songs and artist mentioned above. |
 |
Oldies, 50's, 60's, Elvis, and classic country are the
best and safest type of music to listen to due to the
lyrics, the sound, the singers, the people behind the
music and the energy put forth from the music. Rap, Hip
Hop, Rock, Classic Rock, Reggaeton, R&B, Techno and
alternative are the worst types of music you could listen
to due to the lyrics, the sound, the beat, the singer,
the people behind the music and the energy put forth
from the music.
By the time you're done switching music, you will notice
the difference. Good clean positive music will help you
make it through the day, each and every day. It will
give you the energy and strength you'll need to get up,
quit dope and change. Change what you take into yourself
and you'll change what comes out. Try it for the next 7
days and see for yourself. |

|
Get ready for Day 6, but first, a word on
eating.
By day 6, you might be able to start eating
small portioned meals. But you'll still want to
keep it light to avoid or minimize stomach
cramps.
However, you may be surprised to know that there
is nothing wrong with eating 1 meal per
day and in fact, your body may start to
function better eating only one meal per day.
1-2 hard boiled eggs can make a great daily
meal. |
 |
There is a certain phase during Ranger training where
the rangers will eat two or one meal per day and sleep
only 2-4 hours per night followed by intense military
training and exercises. When eating 1-2 small
healthy meals per day, the body has more time
to digest and assimilate those meals. While digesting is
taking place, energy is being used. Once digestion is
done, your body is free to recover and operate at high
energy levels.
Bottom line: eating 1-2, smaller, healthier meals per
day, with mostly protein, is the best thing you can do
for your body and your digestive system. Furthermore,
people who eat less, live longer healthier lives. Eat
less, small meals, and exercise to stay fit and healthy.
Day 6 – 6:00am
A new day. A new you in the making. A work in
progress. Do your best today. Put everything you
have into this day. Stay positive and focus on

Put a 'check mark' on your calendar for Day 7
Congratulations! Phase 1 is now complete. You
have survived the first 7 days. You have proved
to yourself that you CAN say no to heroin.
You CAN fight and beat your thoughts and your
urges to use. You CAN restrict yourself. Now
YOU are in
charge. Not heroin. Now YOU determine
how the rest of your life turns out. Not
heroin.
'Few there be that quit heroin'. You are one of
the few.
Day 8 A New beginning
From here on out you will continue to keep busy and
remain active just like what you have already been doing
for the past 7 days. You should be able to sleep
therefore, making time go by faster. So now, sleep, will
become one of your main events. Your body must begin to
recuperate and does so during sleep. So try to get as
much sleep when you can and/or whenever you can.
You will continue to keep taking long walks, do aerobics
indoors or join a gym. Start working out and doing
exercise in order to kill the chills and keep bone
pain down to a minimum. The more you work those
legs then the better your legs will feel.

You must continue to fight against your body by
remaining active. The more you stay active
then the less those chills will bother you. The
more you start exercising your whole body then the
better your body will feel. Attack withdrawals with
exercise.
Start eating 1 to 2 small healthy meals per day
consisting of mostly of protein. Start buying exercise
magazines in order to better educate yourself on eating
healthy and exercising. The best way to avoid relapse is
to go the opposite way you were heading before. Before,
you were killing your body. Now, your mission will be to
bring your body back to life and live
life in a healthy and more respectable manner.
Take vitamins every day.
You still have a ways to go before your body can start
feeling better again but for now, the worst is behind
you. You already know that you can handle
another 7 days by doing the same thing day in
and day out. And if you want to feel better faster then
eat healthy and light, stay active and keep yourself
busy.
If you have done everything right, especially keeping
active and eating right then by day 14 you should be
feeling much much better, especially now that you will
be able to get some sleep and allow your body to start
recovering. And as long as you continue to eat right,
stay active, keep busy and do exercise then you should
recover a lot faster than the average
recovering addict. Many addicts stay sick because they
sit still. Don't do that. Get up and fight your body.
Get up and walk, jog and run. Then rest in the tub filled
with hot hot water.
Whatever
you do, don't turn back now. Don't ever turn
back again. Don't slow down.
And don't even think of heroin. It is
forbidden.
Keep moving forward with full force.
Keep moving in the same direction that you have
been on for the last 7 days. Keep walking on the
right path and things will begin to work out.
Your life 'will' start to get better.
Slowly but surely.
Start planning what
you're going to do with the rest of your life.
Start writing your goals and dreams on paper.
And then create and write a step by step plan on
how to achieve those goals as quickly as
possible. Then execute your master plan
with full force.
The fact is, if you can manage to quit
heroin, then you can manage to accomplish
anything in life. There is a wonderful
life waiting for you. It's yours for the taking.
All you have to do is go out there and get it! |
