Even once you’ve recovered from drug addiction, you’ll still have to face the issues that led to your drug problems in the first place. Did you start using drugs to numb painful emotions, calm yourself down after an argument, unwind after a bad day, or forget about your problems? After you become sober, the negative feelings that you used to dampen with drugs will resurface. For treatment to be successful, and to remain sober in the long term, you’ll need to resolve these underlying issues as well.

It’s normal to feel conflicted about giving up your drug of choice, even when you realize it’s causing problems in your life.

If you do slip up, don’t think of it as a failure. Pick yourself up, and keep moving forward. Don’t let one slip become an excuse to return to an addicted lifestyle.

"Most addictions will give a cue, known as a trigger, which will cause you to have
compulsive urges. Learn what your triggers and what they are telling you. For
example, many people get an urge to drink when they have a cigarette in their
hand. This means that they need to avoid those situations where they will put in
the position of having their triggers set off so that all that they can focus on is
their addiction. "
