Supplements for the Recoverying Addict

Alright, so I'll start this off with some simple common sense.

Abusing opiates changes the overall chemistry of your body.  It warps your reflexes, your mood and your health in ways that people without an addiction history would never believe and could never understand.  I don't know what it is in us all that made us so susceptible to the poison, but whatever it is, it's in every single one of us.

So if opiates change your body chemistry, there has got to be a way to reverse its effects just as quickly if not more quickly than they made the changes themselves.  I realize this may sound like hope mongering optimism, but let me also say that I am not trying to find such a method of healing myself.  I just want to get my foot in the door on it.

Are there any among you that can tell me what all it is that the pills took away?  What am I deficient in?  What can I do to make this recovery go by faster?  I have the mental part down, I honestly don't want another pill.  The only problem is that I'm absolutely miserable without them.  

My family tree too obviously shows me that I do have a problem.  Four brothers in jail for cooking meth, one dead, two sisters are junkie ****** and they all made sure to generate a few kids before they disapeared.  Thats just not how I'm gonna play this life thing.  I want free of this clan of losers.  But first, I have to get clean.

(P.S.  I've heard of the L-tyrosine supplements - do they work?  I don't want to go through the effort of stealing it if it won't help me any.)

On the bottom right hand corner of the screen under the "most viewed pages" there's the amino acid protocol. Take a look. The amino acids really do help. I think it also helps the mental aspect because you're still able to toss pills down. I've been clean for around 3 months ago and completely over the withdrawals. I started taking the amino acids again about 3 weeks ago and I just feel better overall.
