The hardest part in recovering from my heroin addiction was getting over the physical cravings. Detox helped me get over these cravings. Although not always one hundred percent comfortable it was not nearly as bad as my prior attempts without detox.

A recovering drug addict picks his top ten favorite drug movies. These movies are a good reminder of what can happen if i don’t stay on the straight and narrow.

My heroin addiction nearly killed me. I would do anything to get my hands on the drug whether it be lie, cheat or steal. As long as I got my next “fix” nothing was below me. Inpatient treatment was my saving grace that nurtured back to health both physically and mentally.
