Step 1: KNOW
Know why you are taking drugs. Stop being in denial that drugs are good for you. Know how much you are taking a day.. Know that you have a drug addiction. If there’s something wrong with your body after taking drugs, know that drugs are the cause, see what they are doing to you. Know how it’ll impact your life.
STEP 2: ADMIT
Admit that you have a drug addiction. That way you can work from there to stop taking drugs.
STEP 3: AVOID
Avoid triggers that’ll make you want to take drugs. Stay away from the triggers. Example the environment that you are in or the people who are with you.
STEP 4: REPLACE
People don’t stop bad habits, they replace them with other activities. Replace taking drugs with healthy behaviours. Example: exercise, spending time with family. It is easiest way of reducing stress and anxiety levels and it’ll help you occupy your time, keeping your mind off drugs.
STEP 5: HELP
Have your friends and family to encourage you with this long hard journey. Go for therapy and counselling. Know that you have people fighting for you.
STEP 6: REWARD
Reward yourself, even with baby steps. Give yourself credit, starting with admitting that you have a drug addiction and want to recover.
STEP 7: DON’T STOP TRYING
Drug addiction cannot be cured overnight. Know that it’ll be a long journey ahead and prepare for. Keep encouraging yourself and know that there will always be people supporting you.
