If you’re in a dark place, I feel your pain, and I know the struggle. Though I may not have been in your exact situation, trust me when I say that I’ve fought with my own “addiction demons.”
Being addicted to opiates is a type of darkness that paralyzes you with fear and prevents you from living the life of your dreams.
Here’s why:
We were put on this planet for a reason.
I believe that we’re here to learn, grow, love, and help others.
And when you’re doing all four of these, you’re truly happy and fulfilled. But being addicted to opiates prevents us from growing.
Opiate addiction keeps us drowning in darkness, and it prevents us from reaching our potential.

Soul Searching
If you’re currently on opiates and desperately wanting to quit, then you’re probably doing some real “soul-searching” right now. Soul-searching is when you evaluate your life, behaviors, values, goals, and emotions with deep consideration.
Being stuck in the “opiate addiction darkness” can lead to you taking a serious look at yourself.
From this place of deep soul-searching, insights are uncovered and revealed.
As I stated before, we thrive in life when we’re:
- Learning
- Growing
- Loving
- Adding value to the lives of others
After deep contemplation about being addicted to opiates, we realize that the addiction is an obstacle that’s preventing us from growing.
So we search the internet for opiate recovery methods, and start reading articles that can help us escape from the darkness and enter the light, which is a pure state of freedom and happiness.
How To Escape the Darkness
For you to escape the darkness that is opiate addiction, you’ll need to overcome your fears. Getting off opiates is quite scary, but you can overcome this fear with courage.
Courage is being afraid and doing it anyways.
Your heart and soul want you to be free from addiction, as do I.
To assist you on your journey, here are 3 steps you can take to quit opiates for good:
- Commit – Develop a strong resolve that you will quit opiates no matter what. Even if you fail the first or second time you try to get off opiates, your resolve will see that you eventually achieve your goal.
- Plan – Make sure you study the best opiate detox and recovery methods, and choose one that fits your unique situation “like a glove.”
- Courageous Action – Once you’ve created your plan and chosen a date to start implementing it, it’s time to feel the fear, then cultivate courage and take action towards your goal in spite of the fear.
Failure is Just Feedback
If you try to get off opiates and don’t succeed, make sure you learn what went wrong. Then, when you attempt getting off opiates the next time, you’ll have a better chance at succeeding.
If you learn from your mistakes and keep trying, that’s progress in every sense of the word.
Failure is only feedback.
It teaches us what doesn’t work.
As an inventor, Thomas Edison made 1,000 unsuccessful attempts at inventing the light bulb. When a reporter asked, “How did it feel to fail 1,000 times?” Edison replied, “I didn’t fail 1,000 times. The light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps.”

Dear Matt,
Thank you again.
Over the last 6 mos. of life most brutal.
It was a combo of gabapentin, massive bit c, small amnts of klonopins, end of day trazedone, and minimal baclofens that allowed me with to get here.
25 years ago, I was a professional dancer in NYC. A life threatening car accident, surgeries and blinding nerve pain began a episodic opiate addiction.
To fight it, I have become a certified yoga instructor. Practice meditation, and have found QIGONG immeasurably helpful.
Nevertheless. I fucked up again.
I am so grateful for this day, and for you.
I will stay open and teachable, in the face of the historical depression/angst that is early sobriety and PAWS.
I won’t share amounts of meds in an open forum.
If there is someone severely motivated, who could benefit from more detail. I would be happy to expound.
Matt,
It’s really comforting that with every e-mail from you is an attachment of ‘Hope’ for a better situation, a better life. Everyone’s time is different but when we are ready your here with us. offering us an incredible stream of quality information, resources and inspiration.
Thank you for that. You are Amazing.
Thank you Pandora. I try to provide a mixture of what helps to reduce opiate withdrawal symptoms, as well as mindsets and belief systems that can help a person overcome addiction.
I’m very pleased to see you so active studying from the resources, as well as taking the time to provide feedback and gratitude. Keep it up, and know that you also inspire me, simply by seeing you take steps to change your life for the better. Until next time…
My set of circumstances is a catch-22 or “between a rock & a hard place.”
Everything in me Screams to get out of this prison, that from experience I can say boldly, “being in prison behind steel and concrete, is better than the Opiate prison, that no visible bars or doors are seen!”
It’s not just the 3-level dependence, but the physical (legitimate bodily injuries). That makes it even harder. When I used to pop-pills to get some euphoria or increase another illicit drug, the means of stepping out were hard, but much more clear and doable. I can literally not function apart from the Opiate prison, and my own mistakes along the way, that only made tolerance and necessity a deeper hole.
But have not lost all hope. Almost, but haven’t.
And I can also say to those reading. If you desire the best chance of getting completely of Opiates, there is NO BETTER place than the Invaluable website and resources that Matt has provided for any and all seeking the break-free..
You could spend thousands and thousands in programs, and/or detoxing with more addictive and prescribed medications that is similar to “The blind leading the blind” or “Replacing an Opiate addiction, to another addiction.”
Don’t get me wrong! Do whatever it takes to cross the finish-line! But be cautious about the means of getting there.
You don’t need a new “ball & chain” shackled on, at your finish line….
Keep striving! Through trial and your own knowledge of your body, do what best will get you free!…
And be thankful for the OAS website, with so many hours, days, months, and Years of wisdom and help to achieve a better life of Opiates. https://opiateaddictionsupport.com/
*Wishing everyone “All The Best!”
*And no matter how many times it takes, continue to get back up, and strive for your personal goal!
*Matt is for real!… And his gift and passion in life, is helping others get free.
