Quitting your drug addiction
“Where I used to be mostly negative and saw obstacles everywhere, I can now look ahead and see opportunities in life. Before I quit, I smoked at least one joint a day and used other drugs several times a week. Now I haven’t smoked in a year and I’ve found the strength to take a number of important steps in my life.”

Do drugs make you feel euphoric? Energised?
Too good to be true.
Substances like XTC and cocaine have a powerful effect. And cannabis isn’t as soft as it used to be. The effects differ per substance, dosage and person. Drugs can make you feel carefree, relaxed, upbeat, euphoric. You’re not hungry. Your confidence skyrockets. You dare everything. You feel no pain.
But after a while, the drugs stop working their magic.
You start craving that feeling. You take more to reach the same effect.
More time goes into thinking, planning, using. Explaining yourself. Defending yourself.

“Just finished my treatment at Kick your Habits. I experienced it as very positive. A respectful approach throughout. My sense of self-worth had declined further because of the addiction. Here, I felt equal to the therapist from the very beginning. The treatment is truly tailored to personal circumstances, with a strong focus on preventing relapse.
I have plenty of comparison material, including Jellinek and N.A. I genuinely believe this programme is much more suitable for people with addiction issues (like me) who are still actively participating in society — with a job and a family.
I would recommend it to anyone.”
