How I Overcame Drug Addiction.
Submitted by: Jeremy C
Tampa FLMy name is Jeremy. I’ve been practicing The Secret for a few years and this is how it has changed my life.
From the ages of 16 through 21 I was a full-blown drug addict. I tried everything to stop. I went to rehab three times and outpatient therapy for almost the entire time of my addiction.
In my third time in rehab, I met this guy that was a very wealthy individual. I had never met people with money like that. He was in there for alcohol, and we were roommates. He told me about this thing called The Secret and the law of attraction and it blew me away. I had never heard that I could control my life, I thought it just happened. Well, when I got out of rehab I relapsed a few weeks later, my worst relapse ever. I was waking up daily with panic attacks from my addiction and had to use medication to keep them under control from the drugs I was on.
Long story short, I remember what my friend in rehab told me. About how I could control my life, and how my thoughts create my reality. So I backtracked and said to myself, what was I doing before I started doing drugs? Also, if time is an illusion, then just because I was an “addict” and did drugs for so many years, that is just all in my head, right? So I started using my thoughts, one after another, building upon what I wanted to do with my life. I stopped cold turkey and started focusing on what I wanted with my life instead of what I did not want.
I no longer have any addiction at all. My mom took me to my outpatient rehab counselor just so I had someone to talk to. After she and I spoke about it, the counselor had my mom come in and said to her, I do not know how to say this but you do not need to bring your son in here again.
I do not have an addiction anymore and I have not been to any AA or NA meetings ever since I got sober on my own and without any further rehab this time. By the way, I am 29 years old right now and I am 8 years addiction free! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!
