Often, poems and inspirational sayings can help lift spirits and focus on the important things in life.  When you are battling a drug addiction, poems can help keep you focused and on track with recovery.  It can motivate you toward action and getting help for your addiction.

Perhaps the most well-known poem is “The Serenity Prayer”:

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change
To change the things that I can
And the wisdom to know the difference

Since drug addiction requires people to leave their old life behind in order to recover, the next poem called “Begin Again” is quite inspirational:

One of the best things we can do in our lives is
Begin again

Begin to see yourself as you were when you were the happiest
Begin to remember what worked for you and what worked against you
Begin to try and re-capture the magic that is life
Begin to live a lifetime each day as you did when you were a child
Begin to forget your baggage, the problems that don’t matter anymore, the tears that cried themselves away, and the worries that are going to wash away on the shore of tomorrow’s new beginning

Tomorrow tells us it will be here every new day of our lives
If we are wise, we will turn away from the problems of the past
And give the future and ourselves a chance to become the best of friends

Sometimes all it takes is a wish in the heart to let yourself

Begin again

People with a drug addiction can find some beautiful words to live by in a poem.  It can speak to them and motivate them to action.  For example, this next poem tells us of hope and letting go:  “Two Days”:

There are two days in every week
About which we should not worry
Two days
That should be kept free from fear and apprehension

One is yesterday with all its mistakes and cares
Is faults and blunders, its aches and pains

Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control
We cannot undo a single act we performed or erase a single word we said
Yesterday is gone forever

Then there is tomorrow
With all its possibilities, it’s adversities, its burdens, its rewards

Tomorrow’s sun will rise
Either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds
But it will rise

Until it does, we have no stake in tomorrow
For it has yet to be born

That leaves today
Anyone can fight the battle of just one day
It’s when you add the burdens of yesterday and tomorrow
That you break down

It’s not the experience of today that drives a person mad
It’s the remorse or bitterness of something that happened yesterday
And the dread of what tomorrow might bring

Therefore, it only makes sense
For peace of mind and hope
Live simply one day at a time
Live today!

Prescription Drug Abuse and Addiction

By admin on Saturday, February 2nd, 2008 | No Comments

Prescription drug abuse is on the rise and many more people are finding themselves with an addiction to those prescripton drugs.  Think about how you feel when you’re in pain – not just a little bit of pain – a lot of pain.  What is the first thing you think about?  If it’s me, I think about relieving that pain.  In fact, that’s one of the first and foremost thoughts in my mind – what can I do to get rid of this horrible pain?

So you go to a doctor and tell him or her about your pain, and your doctor prescribes a pain killer to help you.  Aaaahhh, you feel better.  You think you’ve found a bit of a miracle just by swallowing a little pill.  And for a little while, it is a miracle for you.

Then you start to feel a little bit better, but you don’t stop taking the pills.  Why?  Because they make you feel good.  They take the edge off, they help you cope, and they are almost your best friends.  Without even really knowing it, you have become dependent on those pills to help you get through the day.

More and more people are finding themselves becoming addicted to prescription drugs.  This is because the new prescription drugs we have on the market are so much more powerful than any others we’ve had, people begin to like and get used to the effect these drugs have on them and their mindset.

Prescription drug abuse is on the rise and before they really become aware, addiction has set in.  It’s a serious problem that can lead to other types of drug abuse and needs to be addressed early in the stages of addiction.

The first step that needs to be taken is to acknowledge that there might be a problem with your prescription drug use.  Many people begin to “doctor hop” to get their prescriptions filled.  I know of one woman who actually had a day planner that listed her various doctor appointments along with what prescription medications they would prescribe for her.

Prescription drug abuse is just as serious as heroin drug addiction or alcoholism.  The recovery period is just a little bit longer because you started taking the pills to combat pain in the first place.

Addiction can happen in an instant, believe it or not!  When you can face the problem head on, you can make yourself armed with the tools you need to fight it.  That includes getting as much information as you can about the health effects these drugs have on your body and what to expect when you stop using those drugs.

Prescription drug abuse and addiction is a very treatable condition.  The information to help you is out there.  All you have to do is look for it.  Talk to people, look in the phone book, check the Internet.  Your family deserves it, your friends deserve, but most of all – you deserve it!
