I have such respect and admiration for people who are fighting addiction and who have the courage and strength to do something about it. It takes a very strong person to embark on a journey like this.

I think in our society today we are more and more geared toward encouraging addictions simply because of the over-consumption of just about everything. The common thought process is that more is better. Then when you consider a substance that is addictive it becomes all the more easy to fall into an addiction cycle.

I was just reading last week about how difficult the heroin detox process is. Actually, what I was reading is that the methadone that is commonly used to replace heroin is even more difficult to detox from. What a nightmare! Heroin typically takes about a week to detox from and methadone typically takes about six weeks and has to be done very, very carefully! I cannot even imagine how difficult this must be.
