You've altered your natural happy chemicals by replacing them with drugs. Take away the drugs and it causes illness and extreme unhappiness, this is very hard to cope with, like torture, especially when you know what will fix you up real quick. Eventually your brain should start producing the good stuff again, but you might always need a little help from the doctor.Whatever underlying mental, physical, emotional issue that may have been there before you became addicted is probably still there.Your social life is probably built around drug use, and socializing without drugs seems boring or weird.Being an addict for this long means you might have alot of regrets about things you have done, or opportunities you have missed, and possibly burned alot of bridges with people who really cared.Don't feel like mid-forties is a bad time to start a new life.Good luck to you and watch out for people who want you to remain an addict because it validates their problems or because they feel they are in a position of power over you by acting as your enabler.

well, there are psychological and physical reasons.first, when you try to stop, do you feel sick or uncomfortable at the least? if so, that's most likely because you're body has gotten used to having it in the system, which is the physical aspect.psychologically, when you are stressed, you naturally try to find some way to relieve it. In this case, drugs are among ways to relieve stress, and having done them before is another reason why it's hard to quit.If you were able to stop drug use for some time but then go back, you're relapsing back into drug use, mostly due to some form of stress.There are ways to kick the addiction, the most well-known being going to therapy while another would be to make taking the drug a horrible experience.hope this helps explain it.

REHAB IS A FRAUD

★ Las Vegas Recovery Center is nothing but an elaborate scam. Why?
Most rehab centers, if not all, are as well. They constitute a placebo at best, and at worst can be harmful in the extreme.

We were tortured mentally and physically for no reason whatsoever, and were also forced into the harmful cult of Alcoholics Anonymous/Narcotics Anonymous.

★ Violations of 1st Amendment and HIPPA laws were rampant. The staff, including the quack doctors, was abusive, incoherent, and undereducated.

★ Vital information for chronic pain sufferers on Opioid-Induced Hyperalgesia is provided.
