"Dearest Jorge, I am writing a follow up to my email to you regarding my son. He has been clean now for nearly 2 months. I cannot thank you enough for your very helpful and encouraging website. My son followed your cold turkey plan, except for the exercise. I watched the transformation as his body and mind allowed.... It took about 6 weeks to get a good nights sleep, and once the appetite returned, he got stronger every day. About 2 weeks ago he started to take long skateboard runs, and was quite happy to feel so energized. He began attending weekly Christian based meetings for addiction, and even attends church with me... He is looking for work now, eating and sleeping well, attending meetings and church, associating with drug free friends, and saying he wants to be drug free.,.. Let me say again over, and over that I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the work you put into helping others. My son couldnt have done this alone.... God Bless you for all you do. Regards..." BF (mother helping son)
UPDATE: 1 Year clean: "Hi Jorge, I would like to thank you again and give you an update on my son. I cannot thank you enough for being there for us. My son is currently working in construction 6 days a week, 12 hour days. He started in iron work which is very hard and grueling in 100 degree heat. He loves his job and says he really doesn't want to go back to the life with drugs. My deepest gratitude to you and all of those that help you to help others and deliver a ray of hope in beating what is such a devastating addiction. God Bless You.." BF (Mother helping son)
"I want to thank you for the many lonely sick painful nights that your website acted as a beacon on solid shores in a tempest of uncertainty. You have saved so many lives Jorge, including mine and continue to, year after year. Your testimonials make me tear up like so many others. It's truly touching and motivational... I wanted to write to you this time as a commitment to myself and to you that I will never turn back again. I will keep you updated as the days/months/years pass and hopefully one day my story may inspire others to break free as well. I don't know you, but you are loved so deeply. Thank you for everything..." JL (male)
UPDATE: Day 3:"was able to sleep a good 9 hours (fitfully) but with minimal discomfort, all things considered. I truly think the "restful legs" stuff helps a good bit. At work again today. Id be lying if I said I had any kind of energy what so ever. But all things considered I'm feeling ok. Able to hold conversation with my boss fairly easily which helps with taking my mind off the physical pain. I can't wait to be out of these woods. I can't wait to begin my new endeavor in life, now knowing I can never ever ever go back, not even once. Anyways I'm 6 hours from my 4th day. Hoping this will start to diminish as the night drags on... Wish me luck Jorge I've been thinking of your positivity!" JL (male)
UPDATE: Day 4:"Jorge, what an honor it is for you to respond to my emails. Very encouraging! Today (day 4) was unbelievably better. I ate a solid meal for the first time since day 1 and again I was able to sleep it off last night!!! A fitful but refreshing 7-8 hours! I woke up a new man for sure. Most of the discomfort has finally subsided... The goose flesh is almost gone/tolerable and I actually laughed for a long time today. I keep thinking about you, and what you've done for all those people who were scared to face this nightmare. It makes me want to volunteer somewhere to give back; like you have. Once my energy is up I'm going to start considering ways to help those who are still in her grips...I hope you are well my friend. Thank you again for the reply and the wonderful encouragement! Thanks for everything Jorge.." JL (male)
UPDATE: "On day 8 now. GOING STRONG! Chills and generally achey but time no longer drags out like a blade. My mental attitude is cleaner more optimistic. Anyways... I hope you are well!" JL (male)

I didn't vomit once and I had no diarrhea....I mean I can totally deal with this for a few more days.. I can't believe I'm actually going to kick this thing cold turkey. I'm on day 3 right now and I don't feel good but I feel a MILLION times better now that I have all the OTC meds you recommended and I never would have been able to endure my horrible withdrawals that I had when I tried doing it with no OTC meds at all... Just knowing I'm totally fine and I won't die from this makes me have less anxiety which was something that just always makes withdrawals worse. SO anyway just wanted to update you and tell you how much of a night and day difference that has been..." EN (male)

UPDATE: 1 month clean: Jorge, I am pleased to report that it has been over a month since I beat heroin and cocaine cold-turkey. Wow, has my life drastically changed! Most noticeably, I have gained over 20 lbs.... I cant stop eating everything in sight! ARGGGG!! I have to remind myself to eat healthier. I have been taking a vitamin regiment which has been helping a lot. Especially my B-Complex vitamins coupled with L-Lysine (amino supplement). I would highly recommend this combination to others in my situation. You were right about the exercise, SO important... I did my best to stretch often and keep moving around, and I took the occasional light walk to the store for supplements or beverages... I had the help of my girlfriend who stood by my side the whole time... Going through all of this together has made us so much stronger, and it becomes more and more clear that she is the person I will marry... I started a new job...I was lucky to have some good friends plug me in with a new job within a few weeks after quitting... I am starting to get back into shape...And after this next paycheck, my girlfriend and I will finally be all caught up on our bills and rent... One of the guys saw me yesterday and said "wow man, you look like a normal, happy, healthy person"... I just feel so thankful to be alive. Everything in life has become so beautiful again. The birds, the sunshine, flowers, smells, feels... its like an explosion of life everywhere. I feel reborn. It's amazing... the feeling is so much better than any drug can give you. I proved to myself that "anything is possible"... truly... you only have to believe in yourself. I feel this empowerment that I have never felt before and I have all this confidence in myself. Something I have struggled with my entire life... Thank you for being there for all of us, Jorge, we need more people in the world like you. It is so easy to be written off by the world as a "stupid junkie".... but YOU know that its more complicated than that. We are people too. Normal people who have made bad decisions because we were in pain, emotionally or physically. Thank you man. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart..." CJ (male)
"Hello Jorge your story is truly amazing and would like to say all this information has been really helping my boyfriend... Day 1, 2, 3 were really bad for him, day 4 was a good day and he felt so much better but after having a sleep for the first time since quitting... Your website is so helpful and inspiring and as well as helping people quit it has also helped me understand more about heroin and give my boyfriend much better support and encouragement..." SH (girlfriend helping boyfriend)
"Dear Jorge, I stumbled across your page around ten days ago. Your site showed sensitivity and compassion. It's just what I needed as oppose to the cold "your a junkie" type sites. Its what us lost souls need. You inspired me! your words were and still are a most needed comfort and inspiration! I am now soon to be 7 days clean. The insomnia is debilitating but I will march on through! I simply wish to say, thank you Jorge, you have been of priceless help to me. I wish I could shake your hand..." Ads (Male)
UPDATE: Day 9: "Hey Jorge, Your reply has given me such a boost bro! now on day 9. I know I got a long road ahead but its do or die like you said.

UPDATE: Day 12: "Hey Jorge,... I had a read of your site and its the words "Do or die" that resonated inside me! you said that if your just going to lie in bed and feel sorry for yourself, your going to just fade away!... there was a moment where I plucked up the courage to tell the guys (they were aware of my addiction to H) and I just opened up fully about my battle and I told them that I am clean now for 12 days, they cheered and shook my hand and hugged me. Man, I broke down into tears! I mean I bawled like a baby! But it felt so good just to get it out! I hammered the crap out of my guitar! I felt this energy, this force flowing through me!The bottom line is...I FELT ALIVE AGAIN MAN!... I know I dont know you, but I feel like I do in a way as have read from the same evil page. As a mentor goes, AGAIN I want to thank you Jorge from my heart, for taking the time out to support me. DO OR DIE BROTHER! God bless you Jorge,.." Ads (Male)

I'll continue to keep in touch! Love..." KY (female)
40 Days clean: "Hey Jorge,... Thought I would give you an update you on how I am doing and thank you again for your supportive words... I took your advice and battled through. All opiates out my system have not used again. Managed to go back to work today without feeling my heart was bursting out my chest with anxiety. Think the fresh air, structure and being back in the company of the outside world worked wonders too. I really want to keep away from the bad ways and I know I have a way to go with my psychological work. I need to be strong when the thoughts try to tempt me back... I am getting married soon and my fiance needs to feel secure and not feel she is waiting for the next nightmare... Thanks so much man.." JD (male)
UPDATE: 6 Months Clean: "Hey Jorge how doin man, it's " " that ex addict from Scotland, im still clean my friend started a new job (better pay, better people) and I'm doing so well mate.

18 Months Clean: "Hey Jorge! I'll have almost 18 months clean... I've actually had the same job for a whole " year..!.. I've never had a job that long.. Miracles and blessings left and right... I have a very few people in my life that never gave up hope that I could get my life together, you are one of them. :)... Just for today, I am free Jorge... And what an amazing thing it is to not be a prisoner of my own mind. I hope this finds you well. :) I have soooo much love in my heart for you. You have always been there, kinda like one of those great big oak trees. Gotta go for now, I get to go be a productive member of society!..." AW (female)
"Hey Jorge! Look man, its not that i wasn't expecting an answer from you, but such a personalized answer just made my day, really. I really admire the fact that you actually care and i bow to you and your good will, truly... and on that behalf buprenorphine is helping a lot. Its day 4 today and i feel better. i'm eating healthy and trying to think healthy too. Im following your advices, and i will do everything to keep walking the clean path and quit heroin for good. I normally get by quite good with the first days, my problem is one that you have mentioned in your site, overconfidence. After the first 7 days i tend to become euphoric and to confident and i really have to work my mind out concerning that. Your web site is the best, most complete and organized web site i came across through out the web. We could use something like this in Portugal, since we have lots of people seeking advice online but nothing like this exists... Maybe one day, if i quit for good(and eventually i will) i'll work on a platform like yours to help my fellow portuguese addicts. I would love to that =) I'll keep you updated Jorge and keep on reading your site and advices. I agree with you when you say that we become the information we tend to seek out for, so ill keep reading about quitting heroin and turn my life around for good!! Thank you so much and may the good force be with you too=)" PS (male)

"Hi Jorge, I'm writing to tell you that I finally did go to my doctor yesterday and came completely clean with her and she was so supportive!

Your website rules, and I will recommend it to everyone I know that wants to quit. I couldn't afford the things you had on the cold turkey section.. but things on there still helped me and even made me tear up some. I don't have a great support system here and just reading that, even from a complete stranger, that I can do it is amazing. Thanks again :) " TH (female)

UPDATE: 3 Months Clean: "Doing great! Still clean. Everyday gets better and better. Not having my life prisoner to the next opiate is truly freedom... . even now i havent relapsed. I want to live my life. Everyday theres a choice i make to stay clean. Having a website like yours really helped. An email to reach out really shows that you are very amazing human being. Means a lot. Thank you :-).... be blessed. Hugs... i had better go.... Time for my daily run, that you got me hooked on :-) thank you for everything!" SH (female)
"Thank u so much! I have read ur site so many times and finally did it. First time cold turkey didn't work but warm turkey with a few subs did. I'm on day 4 and feel great. I still have 2 subs left and taking them only when needed. Now I'm reading how to beat the cravings and telling myself I can do this. Thanks again u gave the best advice..." MS (female)
UPDATE: Day 9: "It was one of the hardest things I've ever done...but now so worth it. Thank u again for keeping my head up, u really did help me believe in myself. Another thing that helped was I wrote a letter to myself promising to never do it again, all the reasons not to, how I felt withdrawing, and how to get thru the cravings. I took all ur advice and I think I have ur whole entire Web site memorized by now. Thanks again if I didn't stop now I might not have been around in a few more months cuz I was losing so much weight. I'm small as it is only 5 ft and 97 pounds but 2 Weeks ago I was at 83 pounds and would have probably kept losing more weight. I read the success stories and people say that u saved there life, well u can add one more to the list. Can't thank u enough..." MS (female)
"Yes! I made it through work and didn't puke or die or anything, haha... I'm glad I went to work... Your e-mails have helped a lot... And believe me, I am not going to give up now. I swore to myself this would be the last time I get sick. I'm going to try to get back into music or something because I'm sure I'll have extra time on my hands now.... Thanks again. Your website rules, and I will recommend it to everyone I know that wants to quit. I couldn't afford the things you had on the cold turkey section.. but things on there still helped me and even made me tear up some. I don't have a great support system here and just reading that, even from a complete stranger, that I can do it is amazing. Thanks again :) " TH (female)
"Your site is the best site on quitting!... I really mean that,... People dont understand junkies need and hour by hour plan and thats what you give. I was a junkie for 20 years... You addressed some very important but mostly missed things... i.e. (what you watch)and the rollercoaster effect it can cause... (been there) the otc stuff...the right music... this is a REAL LIFE PLAN... not some bull... CANT SAY ENOUGH... your a smart guy jorge... you learned your lesson well. THANK YOU..." GO (male)
"Hi Jorge! i read ur page and have been taking all the otc's u recomended. im now 51hrs in and compared to the last time I quit cold turkey, this is 100 x's better. my symptoms are so much easier to deal with. havent ran or walked, but am getting out of bed and doing things. last time I just layed there and 12 days later didnt even feel this good. thanx for all ur wonderful advise! i cant wait to be free again! god bless u for caring!..."

"Hi Jorge!.. I wanted to let you know how I'm doing now. I'm engaged to the most supportive and understanding man in the world, and I went back to school to become a doctor. I'm in the honors program at a private " " university with a 4.0 so far, and I'm hoping to become a psychiatrist and join Doctors Without Borders and open up a rehab one day. I had done heroin for 8 years, and once I became clean, I was disgusted at how selfish and despicable a life I had been living. I've gotten 5 of my friends to quit and took care of them through withdrawals... My advice to anyone looking at this website is stop waiting for a good opportunity to quit. A lot of people have to keep working to pay their bills or fix their cars or get a lawyer, but nothing will get better while you're still doing dope. A lot of people's lives are hanging on by a thread, and they feel they don't have the time to withdraw. They're afraid to lose their jobs (the ones who have jobs), but there's no point in even having a job if you're just going to spend your money on dope. When you do dope, there are only 4 places you can go: to the streets, to jail, to the hospital and to the morgue. It's impossible to become successful while on it, and there are no advantages that last. These are facts. I'll never forget the day I stumbled on your website. I didn't know what to do, and all I had to do was ask. You helped me every step of the way... I hope I can come visit you when I finish med school and my residency. I'll definitely need a vacation to the beach by then! :) Thanks for all the help! I never could have done it without you!..." LT (female)
Day 16: "Hello Jorge... Its been 16 days without opiates and feeling better day after day. Man, your site and personal story truly inspired me and as I said..., planted a seed in me... the no turning back tree is now growing in the fertile garden of my ravaged soul, towards the light! I feel strong and will not go back to heroin slavery. Thanks for your site, your support, you probably know that but your site has a lot of impact on the mind of people willing to quit this evil addiction. I still have a lot to do with my life. Revolution is on the verge in my home town " " and all over the world.. The only people making war on drugs are the ones trying to quit!!!!!! Have a nice day Jorge, you saved another soul!..."

3 Weeks Clean: "Hi Jorge, I just wanted to say hello to you, my friend, and let you know that I am back... and still sober. Staying sober hasn't been easy man but I have done it for three weeks now (off of EVERYTHING including lesser drugs and alcohol too) and it does feel good. I started exercising again and that really helps... I just have to keep going. Keep fighting the evil urge to use. Stay sane. Stay calm.... I am just going to take little steps like fixing my resume up and then send it out daily. And just pray. And pray... I hope you are well. I thought of you often... You may have saved my life. I still thank you every day for what you are doing here and for the website. It's a miracle for addicts in need. Keep it up! Your friend,.." LC (female)
UPDATE: 1 Year clean: "Hello there Jorge!... I have some great news - I made it to my ONE year sober mark!!! I'm really not sure how to convey what I felt the yesterday as I took my one year token at my home group meeting. There was so much love and joy and gratitude in that room. I felt like I finally had achieved something in my life that I could be proud of. I finally set a goal and achieved it, and it was the hardest thing I've ever done! ... The life I have today is so radically different from my life just one year ago. I have a safe, warm home to live in with people who love me. I have food in my refrigerator. I have hobbies now that do not involve scoring and using. I found out that I am not at all who I thought I was - I am someone who likes things like gardening and photography and writing... Today I have successful, kind, positive-thinking friends I can talk to or call anytime... I am able to be more honest with everyone, especially myself, and that is such a gift... the biggest miracle of this past year for me has been the birth of my son... I love my little boy so much... I will never forget what you have done for me and so many others by building your website and being at your computer when I called out in desperation. You are this incredible torch in the darkness for all us... Thank you for not forgetting us. Thank you for going back into the "war zone" now and again to help some of us out. You are a personification of the good in all Heroin addicts and ex-users. We all have something to offer this world. I can't wait to begin helping others more as I get stronger and stronger. Thank you AGAIN from me and my son "!... If I could hug you or shake your hand I would. Much love to you, brother. Love Your friend and (sober!!!) sister..." LC (female)

The information you offer is so spot on and helpful, the best we (me and my boyfriend) have found so far. Thank you so much for creating this site and being there for complete strangers.

I'm so excited! It made me feel good looking at the calendar. And to be honest, I was really skeptical of the music thing on your page, I didn't think it could have that big of an effect. However, I decided to try it.. so i went and listened to I Will Survive. Not gunna lie, it made me cry... but in a good way, like I was smiling too.

"Hey George. Thanks for your response. I've been off pizza (that's what we call H in Az) for 7 days. I've been taking subs. .4 a day for 5 days & .2 the last 2 days. I'm tapering down now because I won't allow myself to get addicted to something else. I've been on methadone before & as you know the doctor gave me massive amounts. I quit that because I got tired of being addicted to that. I've taken subs before. Never to quit. But because I didn't have pizza. As many of us know. A lot of the pain we feel is in our minds. Now that I know I won't be getting high. I feel much better. Usually on the subs I can't eat. But I never lost my apetite. I imagine I'll have some mild feelings of discomfort. But that's the price I pay for using that evil drug. Your site has lead the way for me & I thank you. I hope to 1 day give you an update that says 6 months clean etc. And I will. For those of you high reading this site wishing you could quit. You can. I was there. High as a kite & reading the words. I made a decision that it's not worth it to pay all that money to feel normal. I'd rather feel like poop for a bit & keep my money. And you will to. Listen to George. He knows what's best. Don't give up. You can & will do it. That I promise you. Don't be like me and beat yourself up. That was my excuse to keep using. It's not worth it. I'll keep you posted George. Thanks & God Bless."

UPDATE: 5 weeks clean: "Hey George. How are you! Good I hope. Thanks for your encouraging emails! Today in about 3 minutes it will be 5 weeks clean! You're right. It's awesome to wake up & feel normal without drugs. I took the sub route. I took .4 a day for 5 days, then a quarter for 2 days, then a little piece for 2 days. You're right. Subs should be for short term use only.. I even wondered if I should have just quit the heroin cold turkey instead... I used in Imodium, valerian root, Nyquil, & lots of music. I knew if make it because I knew I was done with drugs... Thanks so much for all your help. FOR ALL OF YOU READING GEORGES PAGE. JUST DO IT. DON'T WAIT. The sooner you follow his tips, the sooner you'll be free to really live life. Take it from someone that's been in your shoes & is still a work in progress. But anyone can do it. Just be strong & you'll be successful. God bless you George & God bless you all..." NM (male)

You will never know how important it was for you to take the time to respond back to all my letters, with thought and patience. I have given your web address to everyone I thought needed it and shared my personal experience with them. If there is ever anything I can do please let me know...

"Dear Jorge, I want to thank you for sharing all that information on this evil substance. Today is day 11 and without the help of my family I wasn't going to make it. I went to a rehab in California back in June and got out in late August. By October I was a full blown addict again and I lost everything. My car, my apartment, etc... I have read and re-read your website over and over and it has helped me through this battle. I am still very weak but try to go for walks and keep occupied. .... if I sleep 4 hrs a night, its a blessing.... got me Clonopin to help take the edge off. I hate putting another substance in my body but they seem to help. I will only ask for them when I desperately need them.... The last thing I need is another dependency. Next Tuesday I am moving to """ to stay with family. Im trying to change everything I can. I was very into lifting weights and Im dying to get back to the gym.... When I saw your picture of Rocky and big smile came over my face. Thats what I picture now when it gets tough. Thank you for your wisdom and kindness... Sincerely,..." CK (male)

Im sure you write to many others so Ill make this short. You are a good man with a good soul. .... and I will keep you in my prayers. Thank you so much. When I saw your email in my inbox I was so excited. Perhaps when I fully overcome this (yes, I know, it will be years... lol) You have inspired me to want to help others.

Again thank you for all your help in those early days of despair. I will keep fighting and staying busy and I will keep updating you! God bless..." AB (male)
"Dear Jorge, I want to thank you for sharing all that information on this evil substance. Today is day 11 and without the help of my family I wasn't going to make it. I went to a rehab in California back in June and got out in late August. By October I was a full blown addict again and I lost everything. My car, my apartment, etc... I have read and re-read your website over and over and it has helped me through this battle. I am still very weak but try to go for walks and keep occupied. .... if I sleep 4 hrs a night, its a blessing.... got me Clonopin to help take the edge off. I hate putting another substance in my body but they seem to help. I will only ask for them when I desperately need them.... The last thing I need is another dependency. Next Tuesday I am moving to """ to stay with family. Im trying to change everything I can. I was very into lifting weights and Im dying to get back to the gym.... When I saw your picture of Rocky and big smile came over my face. Thats what I picture now when it gets tough. Thank you for your wisdom and kindness... Sincerely,..." CK (male)
UPDATE: Day 13: "Hey Jorge, I want to thank you again!! Just reading your email has given me that little extra strength. More importantly the information you provided has enabled me to understand whats going on with my body and how to take the steps to overcome these frustrating issues. Im sure you write to many others so Ill make this short. You are a good man with a good soul. .... and I will keep you in my prayers. Thank you so much. When I saw your email in my inbox I was so excited. Perhaps when I fully overcome this (yes, I know, it will be years... lol) You have inspired me to want to help others. I hope we remain in contact and when the time comes you can direct me on how to help others battle through this life and death battle. Take Care,... p.s. The Rocky theme... I play it 100x a day. It really works but I think i'm driving everyone nuts with it. LOL..." CK (male)
