How To Say “Goodbye” To Your Pills

As I’m sorting through all the “Free Viagra!” spam comments that I get on my blog, I’m always looking for some inspiration for my next blog from visitors or customers. I get a lot of good feedback from people like yourself. I’m thankful for that because in a vacuum, I’d get boring really quickly.

I came across a comment the other day that hit a nerve with me. In essence the reader basically said, “You people need to get a life! Get Up, Get Out, Get On With Your Life!”

I agree. When I talk to friends or family about Withdrawal-Ease the conversation often turns toward the relationship that I have with my customers. I’m new to the internet marketing “game” but it quickly became obvious that the “Holy Grail” of creating a successful site is establishing ongoing long-term relationships with your customers. No matter what book you read or internet marketing “guru” you listen to, the consensus is that one cannot have a successful site without establishing a “fan-base”. So there are all sorts of ways that marketers on the web scratch and claw to get you to come back, to subscribe, to sign up or to get their emails. I’ve only been able to get through one book on website management and it was the “Starting a Website For Dummies” book; which was quite good by the way. So it’s a bit ironic that since I’ve started this site there has always been one fundamental goal that has never wavered and I suppose may be my undoing which is, I NEVER want you to come back here. That’s why I don’t ask you to register (although I guess you can), I don’t send spam and I don’t try to get you to sign up for my blog.

If Withdrawal-Ease is to be truly successful, it’s imperative that we say our “Hi’s” and “Goodbye’s” right here. Of course I’m being a bit melodramatic; I will always welcome a referral or a visit back here from friends, customers and supporters but that’s really not the point of the site or the product. I want you to come and get what you need and then get on with your life. That’s maybe why I’ve never really understood all of these message boards that are dedicated to opiate addiction or opiate withdrawal etc. I suppose if those message boards provide some support for you as you go through this problem then have at it. But what I see on those message boards is a sort of pack mentality that I find counter productive. I see people who have posted on some of those “self-help” message boards thousands of times and they always seem to play the victim and “live” their addiction. Your addiction should not become part of your life, it needs to become a part of your past. Again, if the message boards are helpful to you then great but you can get sucked into them and lose your focus.

So, I’m glad that the poster the other day brought that point up because it’s extremely important that you realize how to say goodbye to your pills and how to say “so-long” to Withdrawal-Ease. So as you ponder your addiction or dependency and you’re wondering how and what you’re going to do about it, I want you to remember a few things:

The Withdrawal-Ease Memory Management Device: A Primer For Taking Your First Step and Getting On With Your Life (By- Me)

What To Remember Before You Decide To Quit:

1. Well first of all, lets be totally honest with ourselves and realize that you’re not really very happy with your situation right now. It may seem obvious but it’s important to try and remember your life before pills and your state of mind before it became so obsessed with the next dose.  Whether you are addicted or just physically dependent on opiates, I can guarantee you that right now is not a time in your life that you’ll look back on fondly. Ok, so…profoundly unhappy: Check.

2. I know I know, it feels like you’re giving up your best friend. The one thing you can count on when times get tough; your pills! Well best friends don’t stab you in the back and generally try to ruin your life do they? If you’ve got some problems now, just think about how many of those problems can be directly attributed to your pain medication. Now think about those problems that can be indirectly associated with your pain medications. And then go one step forward and think about the problems that you have that “might” be related to your pills…around 85% is my guess if you’re honest with yourself.

Now think of me playing the “straight guy” in an infomercial (sucks about Billy Mays…Billy this is for you man!).

Straight man: “So Billy, you’re telling me that with one step, I can tackle the source of almost 85% of my problems and things that are contributing to my current state of unhappiness right now?!”

Billy: “Not only that, I can guarantee you that you will be 100% satisfied by taking this first step. Where else can you do something that will have such a direct, profound impact on the quality of your life? You’d be crazy not to take your first step today!”

3. So you’re worrying about withdrawal. Well yeah, it sucks ok? Even with Withdrawal-Ease, it’s not going to be a picnic. But go back to point #1 here and think about how long you’ve been feeling this way. What’s a few days feeling lousy compared to the alternative? Are you going to go on and continue to let the days fly by just to avoid feeling sick?? Again, I know withdrawal is horrible and many people refuse to quit simply because they don’t want to go through withdrawal but if you prepare yourself and take the right measures for the actual withdrawal, you can significantly reduce the discomfort and within a matter of days start to feel better again. You’re not trapped and eventually all of the symptoms will go away! I’ve never had one customer come back to me after a full detox and say, “Wow I wish I was back on the pills!” That’s because they got through the withdrawal and saw how much better they felt. They took the plunge and remained patient and it was totally worth it. So…the withdrawals suck but the way you’re feeling now is infinitely worse.

4. You’re a slave right now. You’re totally powerless not from the drugs…you’re totally powerless from being able to control the quality of your life. You can take the control back instantly by deciding to quit right now, preparing yourself for withdrawal and actually doing something about all of this. The moment you decide “I’m going to do this on my terms and my way” you’ll start to feel better immediately. It’s because for the first time in a long time, you’ll have a say in your destiny.

5. Think about all of the people other than yourself that you will be doing this for. It’s not merely a symbolic gensture; you probably have people who love you that would be a lot happier if you weren’t on these pills right now. You not only have the opportunity to significantly improve your life but the lives of others that you care about. You may not know it but there are people that are anxiously waiting for the day that you take that control back and take the first step.

Ok, enough writing…buy the product; it’s worth it and you’re much better off with it than without it…read the Survival Guide that comes with the product; it’s just as important as the product itself…try not to come back.
