Need help with the pcycology if an addict?!


Question: Need help with the pcycology if an addict?
So I am addicted to viciden, and I AM in treatment for this, I've accepted I'm an addict so please do not judge me, I'm seeking help.
But lately when I take it I don't get that "good" feeling that I became addicted to. Is this because I'm trying to quit and feel bad about my addiction? Please only serious answers, I really don't want to be judged because beleave me, no one hates this damn addiction more than me. Thank you for your answers.

Answers:

No judgement here, no matter the situation.

What you're describing is a psychological addiction. It means that what you are addicted to, and want to achieve, are the psychological effects you associated with the drug. Basically, your mind is associating "happy" with "high" and nothing else. Like all addictions, this will take time to get over, but you can and will do it.

Try not to get frustrated with your situation. Overcoming an addiction is incredibly hard, and you are amazingly strong to be trying. Sometimes you need to remind yourself, so do it. Try to be positive and not hate what's happened or what is happening. Negativity breeds negativity, and it will slow down your recovery, maybe even reverse it. For you, viciden is like a security blanket, you know what to expect from it and it makes you feel safe. But it's a false sense of security, and you need to be strong and break free. That's why you're in recovery. Whenever you find yourself feeling negative about your addiction, force yourself to find the silver lining. It's hard sometimes, I know, but there will always be one. Think about what you learned, and how this whole process has and is making you a better person.

Don't give up; you're strong and you can do this. Knowing when you need help and asking for it is a sign of true strength and courage. Remind yourself that you are worth it. Now is the time to be selfish - in a good way. Up your self-image and self-confidence. You're strong. You're smart. You can do this. You will succeed. You are working on it, and every minute you've made it more minute farther. You will be happy on your own, with just yourself. It will happen, so don't give up. And then you're going to look back at all this and think "If I could do that, I can do anything" and smile to yourself because you know it's true.



It's entirely possible. When we experience a negative emotion alongside a specific act, that act will eventually inspire those feelings involuntarily. If you have been feeling guilty/angry/sad about your addiction, it's entirely likely that acting on your addiction will remind you of that, even down to the physical sensations you experience after using. Of course, that's not the case for many people, but everyone is different. Don't feel ashamed! Good for you for trying to kick it, and way to go on being aware of the process. Good luck!

Regardless of the reason for this, it seems like its probably a good thing - there's not much incentive to use it. I noticed that Vicodin seemed to amplify good moods but not necessarily create a good mood if it didn't already exist. Maybe thinking about taking Vicodin is now causing anxiety because you are trying to stop, so there is no good feeling to amplify when you take it? I don't know if this is how things actually work for other people, but i think this is how Vicondin works with me.

If you are now left with no means of feeling good, talk with your doc or counselor (if you have one). Vicodin serves a purpose in the people that take it. Maybe you have an imbalance in the chemicals that establish your mood and Vicodin masked this problem. If so, maybe you would benefit from a legitimate prescription for an antidepressant - maybe something like Welbutrin.



Because your tolerance level is high. Too get that feeling you will have to take more. You will never get that orginal high anymore. Dont take more too get that good feeling as you call it. Seek serious treatment, go to rehab. A clean life is just as fufilling as one where you have to take something to feel normal. As an addict in recovery you will learn that drugs are but a sympton of your problem. When you began to work the program you will learn more of this. Take care and i wish you the best
