How to Control Drug Addiction (Psychological Dependence)

Drug addiction is the psychological dependence of drug addicts, which is also the essence of drug addiction, only to understand it, successful drug treatment is only a matter of time. It's worth the time to save you and your family. 

Let's take a look at the following case:

Alex is addicted to heroin. His girlfriend was leaving him because she didn't want to continue living in fear that he might be overdosing, and Mark had almost died twice from overdosing. When his girlfriend insisted that she would break off his relationship with him, he could hardly stop the urge to take heroin.

So, can Mark have any short-term solution? Faced with the danger of losing his girlfriend, what can he do to get rid of his huge sense of helplessness and stop using drugs to solve problems? He knew that talking to his girlfriend at this point wouldn't make her change her mind. No matter how sincere he is, she won't believe it.

In a case like this, finding a way requires taking a step back and taking the time to think about it.

The loss that Shaming faced was hard for anyone to accept. He will certainly experience some grief for some time, but for Shaming, the loss is more difficult to accept, because in his early personal life, has experienced such a loss many times. It's something he's been trying to do for years to deal with grief, and in fact, it's the long struggle to deal with the pain that has made him addicted to heroin. Now, the only way he can stop using heroin is to turn his attention to his grief.

It may seem obvious, but it's not. Mark's focus is not on how to deal with grief, but the loss of a girlfriend. These are two different things.

Pay attention to your feelings, don't pay attention to the 

external reality

For Mark, losing his girlfriend is an external reality, and he is powerless to change. But for his own grief, he can still do something, he can talk to others, help themselves to bear the feeling of loss. In the face of serious setbacks, some people take comfort from talking to other elderly people who have a rich and respected life experience. Others rely mainly on family or friends, who often talk to or live with relatives and friends during difficult times. Planning to do one of these things can help Mark, because making a plan is a way to give him the power to resist drugs.

If Shaming focuses on dealing with his own grief rather than losing his girlfriend, he may be able to have a clearer picture of his own loss. He is losing someone he cares about, but at the same time he has others who care. And these people care about him. We all know that after loss, time will help us heal our wounds, life will continue, and we will still enjoy the joys of life. Sadness is different from feeling in trouble, even if sometimes we feel no different. The feeling of grief is bad, but it doesn't last. If Shaming had considered managing his grief without losing his girlfriend as a central issue, he might have been able to distance himself from the completely helpless experience that led him to take drugs.

The end of a relationship or the loss of a loved one is not the only loss that people can't how to control drug addiction. In these cases, there is no practical solution to the problem, then you have only one choice: sit down and pay careful attention to your feelings, not just the external reality.

You don't have to come up with the best solution, as long as it works.

The importance of determining expectations in high-risk situations

For example, Mark and his girlfriend because Of a Mark heroin and other problems have been quarreling, he is not completely prepared for the breakdown of their relationship. If he had realized his deep sensitivity to being alone, he could have expected his strong desire to take drugs, which in itself would protect him from forced drug use. 

The critical moment is when drug addicts begin to think about the first time to engage in addictive behavior, and it's important to recognize that moment selves, and you can help yourself by meditating. By doing this, you can expect it to appear in various high-risk situations.

Therefore, worry is worry, anxiety, pain, anger, stress, discomfort, confusion, and so on, we classify these as feelings of helplessness, a kind of helplessness in deep trouble. If a patient understands the root cause of his or her own predicament, and he can look at himself, he can eliminate the sense of helplessness in the first place. Once faced with this kind of situation without the feeling of unbearable helplessness, even if it is caught off guard of the dilemma, can also be reduced to a risk, can be successful drug addiction treatment. This is the nature of heart addiction (psychological dependence).

The reason for the one-day drug use, life-long drug treatment, we think just did not understand what drug addiction is all about, what its nature is. When we understand and gradually take control of it, successful drug treatment is only a matter of time.
