  • 5 Things to Avoid When Quitting Drugs.
    In this video I go through 5 things to avoid when quitting drugs, be it smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol, smoking weed, cocaine or any other drugs.
    1. I recommend to avoid under-sleeping, due to the reason that it dramatically affects our brain function. Addiction urges becomes stronger when we are under-slept. So keep this in mind.
    2. Avoid Junk food if you want to make your quitting drugs successful. Our diet also has a very important role on our brain function, therefore keeping a healthy diet is crucial when quitting drugs of your choice.
    3. Avoid isolating from people, which actually means to get outside and start interacting with people. Meet new people. (Do not go to parties, as it might trigger to use drugs). Also keep in mind that meeting people who you shared drugs with in your past is not a good idea. Socialize with new people.
    4. Do not overthink. This is mostly related to negative thinking but when we are trying to quit drugs, thoughts will bombard us. District yourself or meditate. Meditation has many benefits and if you are interested how to do that watch my other video about it here: • Meditation For Addicti...
    5. Okay this 5th tip is a bit strange but needs to be mentioned here. Do not use the drug itself. I mean many times we have the urge to do it only once. Just "one" cigarette, just one "glass", just one "line". Keep in mind that there is no way someone can quit and still use just one time. So please avoid the drug itself at all costs.
    And as a bonus tip I included - avoiding stress. When you are trying to quit drugs, do not put yourself in high stress situations. If you can manage take holidays. Or at least do not over load yourself with extra tasks.
    If you have any questions about addiction comment below.
    Cheers and see you in the next one as always.

      BreakFree Addiction thank you for the great advice. I can abstain for a month during that time I am eating well active and happy and then instantly after four weeks the cravings comes and the Temptations overwhelm me to the point where I will use sometimes I feel like if I can get past that month I will be OK after I use the guilt eats me up for a week

      @@shawnmurphy9667 no matter how much temptasion you have please don't give up. Think of the future without any type of temptasion the present is all the power. Think positive, exercise daily, eat healthy, most importantly is having patience. Hope you are doing well my friend. I pray you get out of addiction.

      @Melva Rodriguez I hope he followed up after this comment. I hope you can find somebody in a group that can help you. And I also recommend that you find other passions and hobbies. And attempt to fill the time, cravings, and urge to use. It's different car every person, and there is only so much you can do online. But do your best to reach out to others, that in some way understand what you're going thru.

    Love your videos you must make more. My problem is I need to cut out the friends who smoke weed! Cause some of them will never change. Question how you cut them out completely when you know them for so long? Sometimes it's so hard for me to say no to them. Like yesterday and today I met up with a two friends whose still smoking weed. I think I must just make up an excuse even though I never smoke eventually if I keep joining them I will go back to my old ways.

    I really like to listen to your tips, because you sound like you actually know what you're talking about. My biggest struggle is the darkest place. The inner voice telling me to go ripping and running again. I have no chance to resist, barely postpone it. Right now I'm trying to postpone the urge until I'm no longer alone at home, but I tend to lash out at others. I don't want to be like that anymore, but I'm not strong enough.

    • @BreakFreeAddiction
      @BreakFreeAddiction  Před 6 lety +2

      Sofia I can understand. In this case it might be harder (not impossible). However, you can still give it a try to stop for couple of days. When you stop, you learn soo much about yourself, your emotions, feelings, and you learn how to control them. Maybe you fail to quit this time, no worries, you will give another try. Trial and error what makes it successful.

      You should find a rehabilitation facility, with doctors and psychological help. You do not have to do it alone.

      The best reply to you is why are you asking for advice on getting sober if you don’t want to? The video doesn’t touch anything really but if someone doesn’t want to then why ask how? Of course rehab doesn’t work.

    Well I live alone in a very rural place in the woods. Broke and trying to kick fentanyl. Isolation is inevitable.
