Quit Smoking Drugs: a Challenge That Can’t be Faced Alone
Author: Jake Wells
If you want to quit smoking drugs, or have a friend or family member that wants to quit smoking drugs you have to be conscious that you, he, or she can’t do it alone. This is a rough thing to go through and the most effective way to get passed it is with the help of the closest people to the drug addict.
It’s a tricky process with different phases and you should know what is going to happen in order to face the challenges correctly. In my opinion you can identify four main phases. The first phase, as with alcoholism, is denial. A person addicted to anything will refuse to believe he or she is because he or she thinks is in total control. You have to try to the greatest extent to let the person realize that he or she is addicted and has to quit smoking drugs.
Detox
The second phase… Detox. Even though each phase is extremely difficult to overcome, the particular phase is the one where more physical instability is visible. The body has gotten used to the chemical substance inside it, and now is manifesting its dislike for not having it anymore. Things like anxiety attacks, vomiting, shakiness, blackouts… are all common. After this comes the phase of maintenance; extremely difficult.
In this part you have to make sure that the person, whether you or someone else, doesn’t have contact with the drug. If not, it will result in a relapse and the addiction will continue. The person can NEVER be in contact with the drug. It doesn’t matter if the person was addicted at 16 years old and then stopped at 1 and in his late thirties decides to try it again because of some personal crisis.
The best way to successfully get rid of a drug addiction problem is by interning the person in a drug rehab clinic. There he or she will find more people to count with support, which is a vital part if he or she wants to quit smoking drugs.

How do i stop suffering from anxiety and paranoia from smoking drugs years ago?
im 20 years old andI suffer from bad panic attacks and anxiety now. I used to smoke cannabis every day a few years ago and occasionally did other drugs as a teenager. i stopped a couple years back and i dont take any drugs and im only a light drinker. so i think my past of taking drugs is to blame. Can anyone give me any advice about getting over anxiety as im suffering from depression too…. Please help me
My son is going through the exact same thing. He if getting on much better now since getting help.. You need to see your G.P. You need counselling and maybe medication.You can’t do it on your own please get help. Well done for coming off the drugs.

What should I do if I think someone in my apartment is smoking drugs and the smell is really bothering me?
the thing is i live in those three story apartment building and i think the people living below me are somking drugs.I talked to the owner before..but it wasn’t wasn’t really helpful. Also, I don’t think i can call the cops because i’m not 100% sure they are smoking pot. what should i do?
its not a room mate
What would the cops do if i called them on my brother for smoking drugs in my parents house?
Lately i’ve been smelling a skunk/BO smell in the house and i believe its from my brother smoking drugs. I know he hides it from me every time i go by his bedroom, i did find a can with a hole in the side and ashes in and on top of the can. I just wanna call the cops on him but i’m unsure if my parents will get in trouble for allowing it, because they own the house and smell it too.
You should tell your parents and let them decide about calling the cops
can you test positive for drugs if just about everyone in your building is smoking something?
i live in an apartment building and everyone around me is smoking drugs can i test positive for anything if tested?
No, the only way would be if you were smoking something too. There is no such thing as a contact high.
