strong mindset for opiate withdrawal

Once upon a time I was addicted to prescription opiates, then heroin….and the main thing that ruled my life was FEAR (F#ck Everything And Run). I always needed some type of opiate drug in my system.

Sure I had my favorites (oxycodone, heroin, Opana), but really I would settle for just about any type of opiate. I didn’t even care about getting high anymore, I was just scared to death of going through opiate withdrawal.

My addiction continued long after I wanted to stop, for the sole purpose of staying “normal”.

I would avoid getting sick at all costs. I would barrow money, tell lies, pawn my music equipment, and in a few cases I even stole to avoid the horrific experience known as the opiate withdrawal syndrome. I simply had no faith in my ability to live a happy life without opiates, which had become my antidepressant medication…so I gave in to my fears.

Quitting ain’t Easy

Quitting opiates was very hard for two primary reasons. Most important was the physical addiction aspect. I was physiologically dependent upon opiates, so even when I wanted to stop, my body would go through unimaginable pain and psychological terror if I tried to do so (that was before I knew about natural remedies.)

Next was the benefits opiates were giving me, which consisted of the following:

  • Happiness
  • Energy
  • A sense of connection with myself
  • Relief of social anxiety

 

Note: Towards the end of my addiction, I had basically lived for the majority of 17 years with some type of addictive mind-altering substance in my body at all times. When I tried Rx opiates for the first time, I didn’t care about any other substance anymore. I found my favorite drug…or it found me.

Courage and Faith

It took me a long time, but eventually I built up the courage to live life without drugs. I even went the extra mile and conditioned a new mindset. Instead of fear, I now had faith. Instead of being a procrastinator, I became goal-oriented and focused on self-improvement.

If I knew back then what I now know, quitting would be much easier. If you’re currently struggling to quit opiates, I want to help…and I believe I have something that can help you condition a strong new mindset.

I recently watched a YouTube video that changed my life forever. It’s a mix of various motivational speeches with inspirational music in the background.

During the video I became overwhelmed with positive emotions such as:

  • Courage
  • Love
  • Happiness
  • Strength
  • Confidence
  • Faith

 

Note: I’ve continued to listen to the video on my phone with headphones or in my car almost daily, and I now feel completely UNSTOPPABLE. My courage and confidence are higher than ever before.

How To Condition a Strong New Mindset

If you want to quit opiates but have been lacking the courage to do so, I encourage you to listen to the audio of this video while you’re driving, cleaning the house, walking, exercising…anytime and every time you can!

The words of inspiration and motivation, combined with the powerfully emotional music, will help you replace your fear with faith, confidence, love, and strength.

    Thank you Matt for all that you share.
    You seem like a truly caring and emotionally generous human being.
    The information you share is very valuable. I do not want to share too much about my situation (there is that terrible shame aspect…. that I am working on).
    However, I would like to say that I have been on your home detox program and it is truly helpful
    It makes withdrawal ….that feels near impossible …..feel very possible…. bearable.
    Thank you Dear Sir
    What you are giving to the world is undoubtably helping many people who desperately need and deserve the help.
    Thank you for the love, generosity and kindness.
    Thank you for taking the time to intelligently and thoughtfully express so many important details of addiction
    I hope your goodness is returned to you tenfold.
    With Love and Deep Gratitude

      Marco,

      Wow, that is very quick to have developed a dependence, but you didn’t mention what kind of opiate you were taking, so depending on which one 60-80 mgs can be either a very low dose or a very high dose. More info please.

          Marco,

          Its good to hear. It sounds like you’ll be fine. I know that “tired legs” feeling very well. Gatorade or other sports drinks helps with that for many, giving the electrolytes that your body is missing.
