How to Quit Using Drugs

Anything that can deliver a payoff can corrupt a soul.  When an individual learns how to use a drug to get immediate pleasure or relief, he or she will want to use the drug again, especially when pleasure or relief would be particularly desirable.  The paradox of control - the discovery of a drug that enables the user to control his or her experience will cause the user to lose control of drug use.

Once an individual comes to depend upon a drug for pleasure or relief, controlling drug intake becomes deceptively difficult.  A greater proportion of climbers who attempt Mt Everest achieve their goal than the proportion of drug users who seek to escape their dependence. 

Over the past 30 years I have accompanied thousands of individuals on their passage from chemical dependence to self-determination.  There is a selective bias to my client base in that they have to be able to afford my services and have the cognitive abilities to understand my writing. The methods described here were developed with, and intended for this high-functioning population. 

In contrast to 12-Step treatment programs, in which the drug user is urged to accept powerlessness over a disease and turn it over to a higher power such as a deity, self-help group or treatment provider, the collaborative approach offered here presents methods and exercises designed explicitly to enhance the power of the user’s will. The procedural skills that result from developing the requisite faculties and skills make possible the irreversible changes required to prevent relapse.
