Drug
addiction is not a disease.
Cancer is a disease. Diabetes is a disease. Alzheimer's is a disease.
Drug addiction is not a disease. Disagreeing with this statement
is nothing short of a slap-in-the-face on someone who really does
suffer from a serious illness. Do we really need any more excuses
to be drug addicts?
When
Robert Downey Jr. was arrested for possession of cocaine and valium
in his Palm Springs hotel room, his mother was all over the media
the next day saying that relapse was expected and accepted in his
drug recovery program. Geez, thanks Mom. Maybe she could do his
time for him too. If you plant it in someone's head that relapse
is expected then you are damning that persons future. You don't
have to dig deep to realize that statements like that are built-in
excuses for the failures of drug treatment centers. How else can
you justify spending upwards of $10,000 only to have the program
fail? By saying that it's O.K. to slip. Well, it's not O.K. A 70%
success rate is nothing more then a well padded 30% failure. Giving
you the option to "slip" is giving you yet another reason
to be a drug addict.
Are
you tired of the lies yet? Then here is the truth, my
friend. The world is content with you being a drug addict. Society
needs to have built in tier levels of success and failure. Working
class, middle class, and upper middle class. To reach any level
of success you have to have someone on the bottom. People will smile
and look you right in the eye and tell you that they want to help
you...but they do not. They really want to believe that they do...but
they do not.
You
are on your own in every sense. By seeking out this program
you have now singled yourself out yet again. You are now the ultimate
minority of one. To get through this program you must see yourself
in this way. You against the world. That is the truth. At
least until the time comes when you re-join your birthright, to
live happily ever after. Did you think that was only in fairy
tales?
Robert
Downey JR's mother also publicly stated that she believed that her
son needed to spend more time with his psychiatrist. While drug
addiction is a psychological addiction in part, it is also a physical
addiction. We play into yet another misunderstanding when we rely
on psychiatry to help us with our drug addiction. As with any other
medical doctor, they simply do not know what to do with the drug
addict. If you ask a psychiatrist how he treats a drug addict he
will tell you this; first you separate him from his drug and then
you treat him with anti-depressants. Now, first of all, if we could
simply separate ourselves from the drug, we wouldn't be drug addicts.
Treating the addict with anti-depressants is treating the symptoms
and not the problem. Of course he's depressed. He's not getting
his "medicine." There is an incredible amount of pressure
being placed on the entire medical profession by deep pocket pharmeceutical
companies. The drug treatment industry is well aware of the fact
that anti-depressants are of little value to the recovering drug
addict. The pharmeceutical companies are shameful drug dealers who
pour millions of surplus dollars every year into keeping alive the
lie that their goods are necessary in both drug treatment and dependency.
The psychiatric industry is in such a void as to their own intent
that they play follow-the-leader for fear of being put under the
glass by developing any new strategies or techniques.
Though
it would appear that drug addiction is a psychological addiction,
it is the physical addiction that we must first fight off to become
drug free. It is the addiction of the physical brain that causes
the psychological dependency. When the physical brain is deprived
of its "medicine" it uses all of its resources to continue
with the self-medication. Hope, fear, pain, depression, etc. Though
they appear to be psychological in nature, they are caused by physical
addictions. With this knowledge in hand, it is much easier to treat
the drug addict.
You are so close my friend.
First and foremost, you need to understand that there are lots of
people who have walked in your shoes who are now very clean. Grip
it, hard. What one man can do another man can do. The program
you have chosen is the successful one, put together by people just
like you who are now clean because they have successfully used these
techniques. They are as simple as they are effective.
Know
your enemies.
Rule number one on staying clean is to realize that you are very
different now. You are not the same person that you have been. All
of the factors that made you a drug addict must be removed from
your life. That was your old life and this is you now. You are not
"selling out" or being a hypocrite but you must adjust-out
some of the people who used to be your friends. You know that already,
don't you? You must know your enemies. Anybody who offers you meth
is now your enemy, straight up. A true friend would not offer
you meth knowing that you are trying to quit. This is now your
enemy number one and should be handled as so.
Put
the hatred down.
In starting your new life you have to toss aside all feelings of
hatred for yourself as well as towards other people. There is no
room in your new life for prejudging other people. It is very important
that you start thinking about people in only three categories. There
are drug addicts, people who used to be drug addicts and people
who have never done drugs before. You have heard it before, drug
addiction is an equal opportunity employer who doesn't discriminate
between the color of a mans skin or his religious beliefs. So now
you must put the hatred down and give everybody a "second chance"
as you will come to expect them to give you. Put the hatred down.
Let it go. Only then can you begin this program.
Sell
it….on Ebay.
A big part of your successful recovery is to benefit from the
advantages of sobriety from the get-go. We all realize that
simply cleaning up does not help the non-functioning addict to gain
employment. That is why we have developed the "bonus Ebay
cassette" as a recommended option to help people "come
up" during their recovery period. This tape will help you not
only recover the entire cost of this very program, but will
help you gain financial independence altogether. Following
the step-by-step instructions on this audiocassette, it is easy
to make an extra $300 to $500 a week selling on Ebay with just
1 to 2 hours of work a day. Also, the money is virtually
tax-free. It is the inclusion of this Ebay tape that prevents us
from allowing charge-backs to the program. We believe that the key
benefit of recovery is "money in your pocket" which reinforces
your decision to quit using. This goes up against the standard belief
that the clean drug addict with money in his pocket will soon be
dirty again. In this program, we quit for life and not for
just now. It is time for you to start acquiring things on your own.
But first, gather up all of that junk you have…. And sell
it on Ebay!
And....Begin.
Now its time to start your program. This program assumes that
you are a daily user who has not quit yet but wants to. Understanding
this will assist people at all levels of addiction. It is important
to note that before putting in the videotape you must give yourself
enough undisturbed time to watch the entire tape. You must be alone
and have 40 minutes of free time. It is very important that you
listen closely to every word that is being said to you. These
are words that you need to hear and understand. The introduction
audiocassette is a simple recording of the videotape. We believe
that you should listen to the introduction audiocassette tape at
least one time so that all of these techniques sink into your thought
patterns. Do not watch the video tape with any other person unless
it is a very close friend and you are attempting to quit together.
Understand that "wanting" to quit meth comes in
many different levels and only those who really want to quit
and actually hate using will be successful. Remember that this
is a self-help program to assist you in quitting and that using
all of these techniques will get you off of meth and help to keep
you off. Your dreams will come true. Now, I want you to hold your
head up and put a smile on your face because you know that it is
over now and that you are a good person. And....begin.
Always
remember; what one man can do, another man can do. Together,
we are going to change the world, my friend. If for no other reason
then to spite those who say that we can not.
Follow-ups.
Please note that the follow-up button on our website is a fail-safe
device for updating our program or correcting any flaws that we
may find in the future. It is important that you check back from
time-to-time and "click-on" the follow-up button to
review our progress. Thank you.
