Can substance abusers be Cured? by King Steelo...
Can substance abusers really be cured? Yes---but the real question should be do substance abusers want to be cured? I have seen many drug users come to prison for years and swear they are cured and as soon as they get out---they go right back to using drugs? Now those are the actions of someone who didn't wanna be cured---right? He was forced into sobriety by being incarcerated but when returning to freedom and facing the real test---he went right back to the substance. Temptations, so called friends and those 'let's get loaded demons'--- ambush you!
Now I'm a firm believer in action speaks louder than words. So it's on you as a former junkie to get your shit together and act like you want to be cured! Most drugs are a mind thing with the exception of heroin---the #1 pain killer in the world---it takes over your mind, body and soul. Withdrawals are the worst stomach virus---just imagine---shittin' water and you feeling like dying. Furthermore you go to a clinic and they put you on methadone and suboxens to kick the dope habit but you then get addicted to those remedies. It's a losing battle trying to conquer addiction and you not having a strong support system.
So is there really a cure when cravings come and go as they please? Anything can trigger a relapse and they attack when you least expect it. The only way you can cure yourself from abusing drugs---is having the strength to finally letting go and being done with drugs! unfortunately---MOST OF US DON'T WANNA BE CURED---WE'RE STILL TOO BUSY LOOKING FOR THE PURE...
