You need to go to a medically controlled detox program followed by at least a three month rehabilitation program and then maybe depending on the severity of your addiction you may need to spend up to a year or more in a sober living facility.
It is possible, and has been done that extremely rarely people who are suffering severe addiction can quit cold turkey and never touch the drugs again using only willpower, and nothing more. You obviously are not one of these people, no offense. Best of luck.

Hi
I know this old news, but rehab with a follow up 12 step program would help. Also realize that when you comit to this you need to change things around you. Anyone you associate with who does drugs -you need to end the relationship as hard as it may be. Anyone and anything that has to do with the drug needs to be removed.
I am proud of you for coming out and asking for help. Drugs in any form are hard to kick. I don’t know how old you are but here are some things to think about.
1. Your bones and muscles will deteriorate ( including teeth) twice as
fast.
2. You will suffer premanent and irreversible brain damage if you don’t
quit soon.
3. You will suffer from erectile dysfunction
4.Your hair and skin will never go back to normal
5. You will never have money
6.You will always be dependent on someone in one way or another
7.It will ruin relationships and family
8.It could cause long term psychological problems
9.Your organs will deteriorate twice as fast
10. You may end up on a social welfare program due to long term
physical and mental problems whi the drug caused.
11. You could easily die at any time……………………………….
I could think of many more reasons. I have personally lived with loved ones who have this addiction. It breaks my heart as they went from beautiful people inside and out to very miserable and in poor health.
I have had friends die from this. The physical and mental damage cannot be reversed because they went so long. Now they must rely on others and they are not elderly. I cannot imagine what it will be like for them when they become seniors.
It’s not hard to get addicted and it will be a physical bit@h as you go through the withdrawl period, but you can do it. If you can start and finish this all the way, new windows and doors will open for you.Yes,it will look ugly and be painful, but it does get better. There may be times you want to stop -that’s where 12 step programs help.
Don’t wait and one morning wake up and look in the morning and ask “What was I thinking?”. Do it now – you have nothing to lose. It takes a strong and amazing person to come out in a forum to find help.
If you can do this much – you will be very successful in starting a program. Asking for help is one of the hardest things to do. Email any time you want to talk. I am proud of you!
