Question by Kenzie: How do you stop an addiction?
I struggle a lot with addiction, particularly to cutting myself. I’ve been doing well for the past three years, however, every three months or so I slip up. Does anyone have any advice on how to stop an addiction? I tried replacing it, but I ended up binging and purging. Additionally, I am seeing a counselor who helps me a lot, I just still feel tempted every now and again. Will it ever go away completely? I’m afraid I’ll have to struggle with this for the rest of my life. How can I eradicate this problem?

Question by ragzy02: Anyone have a success story about beating painkiller addiction?
I just see so many people’s lives totally controlled by pills such as oxycodone, methadone, hydrocodone, etc. and I totally understand how it happens, but I just wanted to hear some success stories of how you or someone you know beat this problem and your thoughts on the subject. Specifically, I’d like to hear how people rehabilitate their brain’s reward system back to it’s normal function. For instance, after you’re on opiates for awhile, eating doesn’t give you the good, content, full feeling that it used to.

Answer by Barry
Not painkillers; however, I know that the pleasure pathways of the brain may take some considerable time to reprogram. Google: “painkiller addiction; chat sites + forums” Ask there (higher probability of useful answers).
