Follow the advice of a physician who is aware you are a recovering addict when it comes to the need to use tranquilizers, antidepressants or other prescription drugs. Abruptly stopping the use of such drugs can be dangerous and even deadly if not done under the guidance of an informed physician. There are many more products on the market that contain mind-altering chemicals that can be dangerous to an addict with the potential to abuse just about anything. Ask you doctor or pharmacist if you have questions that are unanswered. Be honest with your sponsor about what drugs you take or are prescribed to you.
Uninformed addicts are a danger to themselves.
When you realize that you no longer need drugs to come down, go up, or maintain, you have experienced one of the many joys and freedoms of recovery. You have stopped using and started to live. Cocaine Anonymous World Service Conference Approved Literature. Inc. All rights reserved.
