At A Forever Recovery, we strive to get you as a patient and recovering addict to understand that your addiction cycle can stop as soon as you make the effort to make the change in your life. The addiction cycle consist of several stages:
- Addictive activity
- Dissatisfaction
- Moral resolve
- Pain returns
- Demand for release
The first stage in the addiction cycle, addictive activity, is when you as an addict you through relapse or persist taking the drugs to hopefully achieve whatever you feel you need in life.
The next stage, dissatisfaction, is when you realize you have an addiction problem and go into depression because you think you will never be able to win against your addiction.
The third stage, moral resolve, is the stage when you make the commitment to never relapse again and try and start a fresh new life without drugs. Pain returns is the fourth stage. This stage is when you crave the drugs constantly and it is a daily struggle to live drug free.
And the last and final stage is the demand for release. During this stage your cravings become unimaginable and you feel that the only hope is to give into the drugs and relapse. As soon as this stage is complete many addicts always repeat the cycle over and over again.
