Heroin – The First Months of Recovery

Part of the Hazelden Classics for Clients Collection
Author: Lowell Duncan, CCDCR

Excerpt:
“In this pamphlet we’ll learn how the heroin lifestyle itself can become addicting, how heroin makes us high, and how heroin addiction compares to addiction to other drugs.  Heroin addicts talk about their experiences with recovery – from hitting rock bottom to abandoning junkie pride to getting through cravings.  We briefly discuss the disease of chemical dependency and the many lifestyle changes needed for recovery“
