THE ANTIDOTE FOR ADDICTION – WHAT IS AN ANTIDOTE? By Jack Kelly « Holistic Lifestyles Radio by hollis on Jun.18, 2010, under Home
An antidote is:
“A REMEDY to counteract a POISON; something that works against an – evil or unwanted condition.”
Based on your knowledge and experience, on a scale of 1 to10, rate the effectiveness of the following antidotes.”
During the first 20 years of Alcoholics Anonymous, 1935 -1955, the recovery rate was around 75%. (A.A. P xx)
The “key” to their success could probably be summed up in a few sentences:
The spiritual life is not a – theory. We have to live it. We are not cured of our addictions. What we have is a daily
reprieve “contingent upon” the growth and maintenance of our spiritual condition.”
(A.A 85)
WHY ALL THIS EMPHASIS ON THE SPIRITUAL?
It is based on the – experience – of the 100 original members of A.A.:
1. You may be suffering from an illness which only a – spiritual experience – will conquer. (A.A. Page 44)
2. AFTER the spiritual illness is overcome, we straighten out mentally, emotionally, and physically. (A.A. P 64)
3. Our real purpose is to become “spiritually fit” so we can be of – maximum service – to God, and the people God puts in our lives. (A.A. Page 77)
Namaste, (The light in me “honors” the light in you.)

Drugs
like OxyContin and other Opiate drugs such morphine, codeine, Dilaudid,
methadone are not illegal and don't carry the same stigma as heroin.
These Opiate drugs are now the new starter drugs that our kids are
finding in the family medicine cabinets. Once the supply is gone they
move on to street drugs. Heroin an "Opiate" is considered to be one of
the most addictive drugs sold illegally today. Next thing you know years
later if they are lucky enough not to die or end up in prison. The now
18-25 year old's are showing up in opiate detoxs/drug rehabs as full
blown Heroin and Opiate addicts after years of abuse.

Someone who is addicted to Heroin will go to any length to obtain it.
Moreover, when such a person stops taking the drug he or she will suffer
serious physical consequences of withdrawal.
A detoxification for heroin addiction is usually necessary to get this
drug out of the users system. There are many excellent detoxes for
Heroin addiction and the drug rehab Center works as part of a treatment network with many of them. Read More
