Has anyone successfully beat their drug addiction? I need help

Before someone calls me weak, I'll agree with them and say yes I am weak.\

Any advice that helped?

Lol this. Although if you wanna break soft too, I'd suggest drinking tea srs. Everytime I feel like blazing now I just drink tea, granted I was never addicted in the first place, just did it out of boredom.

2 options:
1. Develop extreme will power
2. Hit rock bottom and be forced to get over it

For me it was rock bottom. When you can't look yourself in the eyes. You know you are there

ive hit rock bottom this past month, and ive started making changes, for one I've opened up to my family somewhat. but somehow I keep getting myself in the same situation. I cant beat the triggers/habits that ive become so accustomed to.

Certain addictions are treaded like a disease and some have to be in order to get over, and even then it can be a lifelong battle after getting clean. Literally a battle, hour to hour

This is it. I'm going through yet another bottom. Stayed clean for 3.5 years, relapsed just under one year ago, and have been struggling like a mofo ever since. Don't feel to good, son.

But I've been clean for 3 days, so that's a start.

OP, just remember one thing: If you can stay clean for 24 hours, you can stay clean for the rest of your life.

Addiction itself is not a disease.

But the thinking that causes it most certainly is a mental illness, very similar to something like OCD.

OP that's the drugs talking, tweaking like that for an extended period of time will make you feel so dirty, anxious, paranoid, can't seem to be content for the life of you. Talk to your family again and tell them you NEED help, you need to go to addictions council. If you don't this could escalate past the substance you're on right now to something so much worse before you even realize it, then it will be too late

I've been clean since December 9, 2005.

Word of advice, make sure you go clean for yourself, not for someone else. If you try and go sober for someone else and you slip, you'll most likely avoid that person cause of the shame you feel over slipping up, and you'll keep using drugs behind their back and lie about it.

When you go clean for yourself, you can't hide from yourself, and you can't lie to yourself, you have to face your conscious 24 hrs a day.

I had to get rid of all my friends that used drugs, it was not easy but it was what I had to do to better myself. I changed my phone number and only gave it to my immediate family members. I went ghost to the world until I sobered up.

The hardest part, and the part I still struggle with is reinventing myself after going sober, the way I acted before I went sober is way different than I am sober, I am EXTREMELY introverted and shy sober, drugs is what got me out of my shell, so now I struggle to have a social life. I am glad I gave up drugs, I think I'd be dead or in jail if I hadn't changed my ways, srs!

When you start saying stuff like "im weak", sounds to me like you'd benefit from talking with a professional. You're stronger than you think. Good luck OP.

You need to take control that's all it comes down to, and once you realize it, it'll be easier to quit, do some introspection.
Right now the drug is controlling you, once you're in control it'll lose its power over you.

Write down what you want in the future. Write down how you imagine your life will be if you stop doing the things you know you shouldn't be doing. Then write down how your future will be if you keep doing stupid things you know you shouldn't be doing. Give yourself a heaven to strive to create and at the same time a hell you are running away from. You have the choice to be high for the rest of your life or to actually live and enjoy your life. We only get one life and there is no reset button. I know you can achieve anything you set your mind on achieving

Yeah, I can google tons of stuff that says it is not a disease but since you can google yourself, I probably don't have to put links here.

Disease model is very popular but just not accurate.

There's a poster in this thread who said that he just woke up one day in 2005 and never did drugs since. Do you think if he had Alzheimers or diabetes that he could just wake up one day and decide to not to have Alzheimers or diabetes?

Lol, in the same boat as you, OP.

I don't intend to ever quit though. I'm probably just going to get a time release safe so that I can regulate my eating of, um, jelly beans. I just can't let go of dem productivity gains. Especially if I end up succumbing to dat wagecuck life years from now. Omfg.

You people are dense, or just can't admit to being wrong.

"Google" has nothing to do with it, it's the part about the American Medical Association. Virtually every professional who studies the subject supports the disease model.

But of course, some random dipchit on the misc is so much more credible than all the doctors and scientists who study it and come to the same conclusion based on evidence.

And the BS about Alzheimers is an irrelevant red herring.

Not all the doctors and not all the scientists. You should really improve your critical thinking skills.
