Drastic times call for drastic measures. And while relocating to another city, state or country may seem extreme to some, many heroin addicts see it as their last resort and the only way to quit heroin, stay clean and turn their lives around. Consider relocation as Plan E. 'E' for escape. Furthermore, if done correctly right from the start, you can actually end up living a happy, clean, and decent life within a very short period of time. Sometimes, those heroin demons can become much too strong for you, attacking you from every angle and sometimes from within your very own home. It’s even harder when you’re living in the city and the dope spot’s on every block. But if you’ve tried Plan A, Plan B, Plan C and Plan D, and still failed when you returned home then maybe its time for a change of plans. While some may be happy and content living within their home town, others may prefer to relocate, not only to quit heroin and stay clean, but to start a whole new life all over again from scratch. If you want to start a whole new life in a fresh, new environment, then relocation can become a powerful strategy to accomplish this goal. Some addicts manage to quit heroin and then within a few days, weeks and even months fall right back into that heroin slave trap all over again once they see their old dope-friends or the old dope-man, (their dealer) hanging out at the old dope-spot. These are all temptations waiting for you to get you to give up, give in and throw in the towel. You can stay and fight, and even win, as many do, with the help of family, friends, and a good support system in place. Or you can choose to run and run for your life. The Children of Israel ran from the Egyptians, their slave masters. And there’s nothing wrong with you running from the enemy, heroin, your slave master, and your dope-infested environment - especially if your ultimate goal is to quit this thing, start fresh, and turn your life around. If you want to quit heroin, stay clean and start a whole new life all over again from scratch then you may want to consider relocating to another city, state or country as soon possible. However, wanting to relocate and actually doing it are two different things. Wanting to relocate is the easy part. Anyone can dream. And even if you can get away for only 1 to 2 weeks then do it! Go! Yet doing it is the hardest part ever. Human nature does not like change. But if things don’t change soon, then most likely, you'll stay hooked on dope forever. And in time, you will be brought down to a peace of bead, become nothing, and eventually, wither away and die. Heroin destroys the will of man. And soon, you won’t have any will power left at all. No matter how much you'd love to quit, it just becomes impossible to do so. And the longer you take to put your foot down and turn your life around, then the worse things will get. The time to make a change is now. The time to start planning and take action is now. If you cant stay clean where you're at then move. And don’t be afraid for what lies ahead of you. I can almost guarantee you, that if you do things right from the very start, then most likely, you’ll have a much better life than what you have now. And anything is better than what you have now. Don’t get me wrong. You may go through hard times at first. You may suffer some. We still have to pay for our wrong doings from the past. “You can’t do wrong and get by”. LDA. But all you have to do is just hurry up, get it over with as quickly as possible and then move on with your 'new life'. In time, life can become wonderful, bringing you to people and places you never thought possible. You’ll be able to build a whole new reputation. No one will know you as a drug addict anymore. You can start a whole new life with a whole new profession. No more hustling. No more crime. And for my dope sisters who took a wrong turn - no more stripping, no more escorting, no more prostitution, and no more selling your soul for dope. You’ll finally be able to live a normal, clean, decent life. Because this isn't just about quitting heroin - this is about changing your whole entire life - forever. A new place. A new start. A new you. So don’t worry. Be happy. And don’t be scared. Relocation works. It worked for me. And it can work for you too.
Does this sound like you? Does something inside you say, “I gotta change my life. I gotta quit this junk and start living right.” Does something inside you say, “I gotta get out of this dope-infested place. I gotta move far away and never come back again”. “There’s gotta be more to life than just this.” Well there is – and so much more! And if that sounds like you, then get ready for the greatest adventure of your life. Don’t be nervous, and be not afraid. For the Good Force is with you. And although traveling into the unknown can become scary, you’ll still be much better off taking a chance to leave than to stay where you are, relapse, and remain a slave to heroin. Don't worry about where you will live, what you will eat, or what you will wear. If you do your best to quit dope, stay clean, and turn your life around, then it's quite possible that miracles can happen. Anything is possible! You'll just have to take a chance and hope for the best. And the best way for relocation to work in your life will be to first, determine in your heart and in your mind that not only are you going to quit heroin, but that you’re also going to quit all drugs and change your life completely. This is the only way to change, stay clean and turn your life around, is to quit all drugs, once and for all! You must be willing to go all the way; otherwise, in time, you may fail, turn back, and most likely end up becoming worst than ever before. No matter who you are, or what you’ve done, the best thing that you can do with your life is to stop doing wrong and start doing right from here on out. Life is too short to continue to live in the manner in which you’re living now. Going all the way, quitting all drugs and living right, is the best way to go and it will increase your chances greatly for having a much better life wherever you go. Once you've settled this within your heart, then figure out where you’re going to go, and how you’re going to get there. You have to have a goal first and then create a step-by-step plan to achieve that goal. Even if your plan is to pack your stuff up, get in your car, and drive down south, that’s still better than having no plan at all. If you cant quit heroin and stay clean where you live now, then move.
California offers beautiful warm weather, almost all year round, no snow. Tall palm trees everywhere and beautiful beaches are just a short drive away. A drive up the Pacific Coast Highway allows you to enjoy beautiful ocean views and spectacular mountain scenery. And there's Yosemite and the Sequoia National Park as well. And best of all, you can wake up 3 hours late and still not miss anything. Arizona is also a beautiful place to live with breath taking scenery and majestic mountains everywhere. The hot weather with the dry air brings more sunny days than rainy days throughout the year. Golf courses are plentiful. And the Arizona sunsets are absolutely beautiful. The population is growing while the cost of living remains affordable. And there are no earthquakes or tornadoes to worry about. New Mexico is a peaceful and quiet place to live with a vibrant artistic and cultural community. The old city offers magnificent landscapes with outdoor activities all year round. And there's plenty to see as well, such as the Chaco Canyon National Historic Park, the Museum of Space History and the Carlsbad Caverns National Park. New Mexico also has affordable housing as well. And being close to Texas, it would be an ideal and peaceful place to live. Texas is another beautiful place to live with beautiful lakes, beaches and so much diversity in people and cultures. The weather is warm and the summers are long. And Texas was voted the "Greenest City in America" by MSN. Texas also offers a strong economy and quite possibly, the best job market in the country. Yet the cost of living is lower than most major cities. And it may also be one of the most convenient places to live in the future as well, seeing that Texas is right next to the Mexican border, (just in case you might want to leave the country some day), which makes Texas a great place to live. Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas are all beautiful places to live, but if you're not there now and had to choose a place to relocate to, then Texas would be your best bet, mainly for the reasons listed above. And if you live outside the USA then get a VISA and come to America or even Central America as well. Central America is beautiful, tropical and the ultimate place to live the rest of your life in peace. And you're more than welcome to visit, and stay as well. However, some people, sooner or later tend to end up in Florida, for some reason or another.
But for those of you who still have some cash, start by searching ApartmentGuide.com or Google for apartments or houses for rent within the city or state where you'll be relocating to. Start making a list and take notes on prices, required deposits, utilities, expenses, etc. If you’re low on funds then you may want to start off with just the bare minimum until you can get clean and get back on your feet once again. Some places will rent to you regardless of your work situation. And most cities have affordable storage facilities everywhere if you need to store furniture and other belongings temporarily. You can even start looking for work before you get to your new location. You can search online for jobs for your trade and skills on Indeed.com. You can even apply online for a job at Wal-Mart, 7-11, or McDonalds as such places are always hiring. You can also start working right away by going to a local temp agency first thing in the morning. The first ones there always get work. Or, if you have enough money to get by for the first few weeks then you can worry about the job situation when you get here. If you’re going to quit heroin cold turkey then you might need to take the first 2-3 weeks off anyway. You’ll need time to get your stuff together before you can begin to adapt and work your way back into society. Then once you’re feeling better and stronger, or at least good enough to work, then you can begin to look for a job if that’s what you need to do. If you’re going to quit heroin with Suboxone then find a private doctor on Suboxone.com and get started on a short term, low dose Suboxone program the minute you get here, but call them and make an appointment before you get here. For further information on quitting heroin with Suboxone, Methadone and other lesser evil pharmaceutical drugs then please read my article, “How to Quit Heroin with Meds”. Or..., if you're low on funds, then you can detox first, under medical supervision, (for free), and then relocate. And to do so, all you have to do is call 1-800-662-HELP (4357). Tell them what city, state, and county you live in and then ask them to help you find a free or low cost, state-run detox center to go to. Make the call and make arrangements. Detox first, and then relocate right away! Worse case scenario: If you have no money at all, then somehow, either work to earn it, or sell something to buy a one-way ticket to your final destination. Then locate the nearest Salvation Army rehabilitation program, a Sober Living Home, or any church ran rehab center. Such programs offer short and long term detox and rehabilitation programs which are free to enter. But they’ll have you working in no time since most of those programs are actually work based programs. But that’s ok. Work is good. And it’s better than living on the streets. Go through the quitting phase as fast as you can and they’ll help you find work right away. It’s quite possible to work a full time job during the day and a part time job at night in order to make more money as quickly as possible to keep yourself busy and out of trouble and eventually get your own place. I realize that some of you will be coming down here with just the clothes off your backs. And that's fine. I admire that, and consider you to be the bravest of them all. And some day, this will all make a great story to tell your grandkids. But for those of you who still have a life, money and some earthly possessions, then you may want to consider the following to relieve stress during the transition phase. If you have children, then you'll also be dealing with the anxiety which they too will be going through while changing schools and meeting new friends. You may want to search for a good neighborhood near a good school in order to make a better decision on where to live. You can find information on most schools on the internet. Write down phones numbers, addresses, and visit the schools to be considered. Once you've chosen a new school for your child or children then you can have the old school send their school papers and documents to your child’s new school. (Unless of course, you plan on home-schooling your children which is highly recommended these days.) Make and use a list: Your brain is fried and most likely you’ll forget many things. Make a list of things that must be done before you move. i.e. obtaining maps, returning any items which you may have borrowed or movies which you may have rented; filling out change of address forms; transferring prescriptions; calling all of your credit card companies to give them your new address; canceling your home phone line, cable and internet services, and making sure you have your utilities shut off before you leave and turned on in your new home before you move in. Make arrangements to move: Call a moving company and make the reservation and preparations in advanced or reserve and rent a moving truck from U-Haul or Ryder to do it yourself. Sell or give away unwanted, earthly possessions: Keep what you need and get rid of the things you don't really need. Have a yard sale. Sell or give away things to neighbors or friends who may be in need. Just take what you need and sell the rest. You can buy new stuff later on down the road. Don't wait till the last minute: Get boxes and packing materials ready and then start packing early. You never know how long it's going to take to pack all your stuff. Mark and pack one of those boxes as "Essentials" for when you arrive at your new location. Do not pack important documents: Keep all important papers and documents in your possession or close by at all times, i.e. social security cards, birth certificates, passports, court papers, probation papers, marriage licenses, divorce and child custody papers, etc. If you’re on probation, but still need to move, then ask your probation officer for a probation transfer. Explain the situation to them and Be Honest. Tell them that you want to relocate to quit heroin, stay clean and turn your life around. Your probation officer might be understanding and might help you to make arrangements with your new probation officer in your new location. Anything is possible. And if you have outstanding warrants, but not ready to turn yourself in, then hurry up, relocate, and turn your life around. Then some day, after you’ve been clean for many many months, you can go back to face the music. You can stay on the run, but sooner or later you’ll have to go back to answer for your crimes or your crimes will come back to you. But at least by that time you will have lived a clean, decent life long enough to be able to prove it. When the court sees how you’ve turned your life around, then maybe, just maybe, they might show you mercy, and just place you on probation in your new home state or dismiss the charges completely. Anything is possible. But in the mean time, don’t worry about that stuff. Worry about, relocating, quitting dope, and starting your life all over again. And when you do leave, don’t say a word to the dope man nor to any of your dope friends concerning your move. Erase their phone numbers from your cell phone and change your phone number as well. To them it must appear as if you've just vanished off the face of the earth. Tell only your close, drug-free, family members and friends where you'll be moving to. Make sure that they have your new phone number just in case they need to reach you. Check weather reports ahead of time to know what the weather will be like on moving day, especially in the states you have to drive through on the way to your new location. The last thing you want to do is to drive right into a horrible storm. Sometimes, when starting life all over again, one has to actually start from the bottom and work their way up. But as long as you’re doing the right thing, staying clean and working hard, then in time, things can get better. And if you live outside the USA then come to America. Relocation works. It worked for me, and it can work for you. And for "some of you", (not all of you), but for some of you - relocation is your only hope. However, let me be clear; none of this is guaranteed. There are no guarantees that everything is going to work out perfect for you. But there are however, a few things that you can do to improve your chances for change and success. When you get to your new location, try not to make new friends right away. You’ll be much better off sticking to yourself or with family. But eventually, you'll meet some good, clean, decent people. -Do not waste time. -Do not, I repeat, do not go out looking for heroin. -Do not go out looking for weed, coke, crack or ecstasy. -Do not go out looking for opiate or benzo pharmaceuticals on the street. -Do not make friends with anyone who partakes in any such things as mentioned above. Do however, read and re-read my article, ‘How to Quit Heroin and Stay Clean for Good’. Don’t just read it, re-read it and do what the article tells you to do. Those who do, amazingly, end up quitting heroin, staying clean and turn their lives around. -Do quit heroin. -Do stay clean. -Do keep busy. -Do work hard. -Do exactly what you came here to do and do it quickly. -Do your best to change who you are and turn your life around. If you do your best to do everything right, then in time, you can end up having a life you've never dreamt possible; a clean, decent, moral life; a life that you never thought would be granted to you; a second chance for a new, meaningful life which none of us deserve. This is a gift. Throughout this website, you’ve been given the keys to the kingdom. There is gold at the end of the rainbow. All you have to do now is follow that rainbow to wherever it leads you. You have the power to change your destiny just by making a simple choice. You now have the opportunity to alter the course of your life. All you have to do is make a decision. And that decision will change your life forever. There’s a wonderful life out there waiting for you. And sometimes, you just gotta take a chance, go out there and get it. So don’t worry and don't be scared. You can do this. If you want to quit heroin, stay clean, and start a new life all over again then start planning, start packing, and start moving now. Good luck. And may the good force be with you...
