Today I read the heartwarming story of Lindsay Kersh, a Utah girl who overcame her heroin addiction. She went through hell during the detox: “I didn’t sleep for five days because I had these huge goosebumps all over my body. I couldn’t stand my skin to touch anything and I couldn’t even lie down. I was sick to my stomach and felt like I had the worst flu ever. The movies don’t come close to showing what kicking is really like, ” she said. You can see why many people choose to stay addicted rather than go through withdrawal. Unless you go to a medically supervised heroin detox that gives you mild drugs to help you through the worst of it, it’s not easy.

I kicked heroin cold turkey myself – it’s a little like having a baby, an intensely painful process, but soon forgotten. The incredible feeling of being clean overshadows everything you had to do to get there.

For those who have a low pain threshold, I would recommend a heroin detox that helps you through the worst of it with mild drugs and also focuses on nutrition. Heroin itself is extremely debilitating physically, but added to that is also the fact that heroin addicts aren’t usually eating healthy, well-balanced meals or taking vitamins. In fact, it’s not uncommon for a heroin addict to eat almost nothing.

If the detox program you do includes nutritional help, you can come out of the detox feeling better than you’ve felt in years.

Lindsay is now Utah’s recovery poster child. She looks great, and is looking forward to her new drug-free life. If someone you care about needs help with heroin addiction, read them Lindsay’s story, and then get them into heroin detox fast.
