You just have to surround yourself with people who don't partake in whatever it is you're addicted to. You have to decide that either you are going to beat it, or you're going to stay the same and fade deeper into it. If you choose to overcome it, there's no room for weakness, you have to go forward 100% and not look back. A lot easier said than done, I know, I've been there.

Do whatever it takes, even if it means alienating yourself from everyone you've been associated with. It'll get harder before it gets better, but it'll be worth it...

You need a good friend, or some kind of support that doesn't do what you're addicted to..seriously, when you start freakin' out, you need someone to bury your car keys, cut the phone lines, and literally hold you down until it passes

sorry man but i say fuck rehab.

I've never had the problem ,i can quit anything at anytime,BUT i have helped many people who have....

this is what i usually say/instruct
1.remember times in your live that you were so happy you wish it would never end ,(times you weren't using)

2. meditate....i know it is alot of bullshit but i don;t mean your typical meditation , i mean where you will lose all time and reality and come to like the next day.....im serious it's possible

2.(cont.) when im in a fucked up situation(which i have been in for months,me and the fiancee were ripped apart and can't see each other)
i go to a local climbing are with a secluded ledge about a a thousand feet up....the view is amazing......i sit there and play the didje.and meditate while playing for hours ,i have gone more than a day before(at the start of this shit)all though the night and the next morning , when you o that long you will know when to stop...
it is a possibly extreme way to come to terms with the outside world and how most ,well all problems are soo trivial.....i can't quite explain how it can help these things but it just does....if had some certain mental things that i can't even get into (almost went completely insane,that all I'll say)and i did that for the first time i went for over a day and i came out very humbled and with a happiness to be part of such beauty as this earth and well........lets just say the problem was fixed......
i have visited that mountain and that mental "world" i find there many times since then and every time i leave with a new appreciation of live.....


hope that can help you..........it's save me live and my sanity many times......

many people overcome addictions every day..many people also die from addictions every day..i can't think of anyone who leads a long, healthy, fulfilling life while hooked on substances, it's pretty much up to you which way it ends. friends, doctors, and pills can only go so far.

Cold turkey.
Get dumped on an island with nothing but food.get picked up in a month.
I often thought I could make a living kidnapping people and dumping them on islands.
Getting charged with kidnapping would suck though.

martial arts.

worked for scott weiland and matt from gnr...

hahaha..... I just saw that on a special on Velvet Revolver.

But on a serious note man... relocating doesnt do shit. its you who needs to change your bodys chemistry....

meditate.... ever hear of emotional freedom techniques>? Its a trance type of thing which involves tapping on your bodies energy meridians while reciting positive affirmations. Sounds corny man but it works for anything, even physical pain and disease. Check it out at http://www.emofree.com/ to research it. I used to do it with my mental health therapist, and used it along with AA to stop drinking.

I have the same dilemma,it may be with a different drug but its all the same.It really does seem hopeless.I've been fighting my addiction for about 4 years now and I'm losing.
I've tried cold turkey,support groups and even went as far as admitting my self to the mental ward at the hospital.
The only thing I can tell you is your not alone in your battle to quit.If you want to talk to someone I'm here,I'm not a real talkative person,but I'm a good listener.

good luck man and keep your chin up

Perhaps a way to rid yourself of one addiction is to find another. Instead of a drug, become addicted to love, or addicted to living a healty lifestyle, or reading, or learning, or the countless possibilities available to you.

I think the best way to beat an addiction is to realize that you and only you hold the power to overcome. And my friend, you do have this power, believe me.

Everyone in this community wants you to succeed and we all know you will.

Do you know you will?

Answer that question and you're there.....

Tripping can break the addiction, but the cravings will come back, and you have to ignore them. It's not easy, I won't lie to ya. You'll want to do it for the rest of your life, but if you find something else to occupy your time and mind it'll go easier.  Good luck with it man, I feel your pain, and the best advice I can give ya is get off anyway you can (acid trips always do it for me) and once you're off, don't let anything or anyone get you to do it again. The biggest mistake you can make is thinking that now that you have it kicked, you can do it everynow and then and control it, or that you want to do it one last time. If you give in to those desires, you'll fall back down the hole. You need to take it one day at a time, but if you have faith, and you find something else to live for, you'll make it. I have faith in you. PM me if you need to talk, keep your head up, we're thinking about you!  :heart: :goodluck:

You can't keep doing that if you want to get off. Trust me, I know how hard it is, but stay away from it, anyway you can. You can do it, it just takes a lot of willpower.

Just dont beat yourself up about it. Then you will just do it again as another distraction to the problem. Set a date. A serious date in which you know you will stop by that date. Prepare your body for it through meditation and convince yourself that you dont need it.

yep meditation is one of the most efficient ways. my friend went to a rehab recently and he claims it was a nice experience. too short to tell if it has been successful. he says they thought him through meditation, had several akapunktur sessions, along ith other techniques used. just dont close your options and believe in yourself. hope you can get through this.
