I have dealt with all kinds of addiction thus far, and I have found that to overcome them, first they must be replaced with some other obsession. If you think of addiction as a hole that you have to keep filling, then when you try and overcome the addiction you are still left with this gaping wound. That wound needs to be filled with something that can heal it. Cannabis is great medicine, but I have found that it doesn't heal addiction holes, it just acts as a temporary relief.

What helped me start healing my addictions was this:

Every time I felt the urge for my addictions I did a set of kettlebell swings, drank a glass of water and had a piece of fruit. This method worked for me, perhaps it can assist you as well.

wingedson Reviewed by wingedson on . Paranoid Ok, so I've been going thru an opiod addiction for 3 yrs I've been clean for about 6mo tks to suboxone, but do to insurance prob. I've been taken off my prescription. I've smoked off and on my whole life and it seems to be helping, but medical marijuana hasn't been approved in my state....So my question is, is their something else I can use that will be as helpful to me that is legal or am I gonna live out the rest of my days being paranoid??
