The seventh valley says: The mystery and secret in discovering the truth lies in two factors: finding the right path and what we derive from it.
If I want to write about how this valley impacted on me I would start like this. I was trying to find a way to treat my addiction and was resorting any method that I could find.
All those methods were mirages. Such as Methadone treatment, Detoxification, Naltrexone, etc.
All these didn’t work for me; I had the will and the self confidence because I was tolerating all the hardships but I couldn’t get any results.
Until I was introduced to Congress 60; here they talked about the cure and that anyone shall find the scientific and the most suitable approach to treat his addiction. They said you have the right to ask and we shall answer.
I have learned that addiction is an illness which has polluted my body, psych and worldview. I used to think that I will never become an addict because I was an athlete and well educated but I learned that the one who gets drowned in the sea is the one who knows how to swim! An individual who doesn’t know how to swim will never get drowned!
I have wasted 10 years of my life with being humiliated by co-workers, family and the society but I was looking for a way out of addiction since.
I have learned here that what is addiction?! Why I was going on a cold-turkey and yet I was collapsing. I have learned what visible disorders are? What hidden disorders are?
I remember the last time I went on a cold-turkey. I couldn’t sleep for 9 months and whenever I was able to sleep I used to see horrible nightmares.
But I learned here that an illness which took 10 years to emerge couldn’t be cured in one night! It needs patience along with a proper treatment and it takes at least 10 months. The secret of addiction treatment was revealed to me!
During life we will face different paths which we must choose one and walk that path to discover new things and to learn something new about himself.
During the treatment some senses which were lost in addiction will be regained and you will feel becoming alive once a more.
