How can I stop drinking or taking drugs?

That was a completely personal choice for me. I hit my rock bottom months prior to stopping, used against my will, lost my house, my car, my job, my kids, my self worth, and my will to live. It wasn't until I overdosed 4 times in 3 weeks that I thought I had a problem. The night before I reached out for help I remember praying to a God I wasn't sure if I believed in at the time and was so desperate. It was life or death for me. I finally crawled to get help and humbled my self and ran with it through the pain of withdrawal and all, and did whatever I was suggested to do. It's been 27 months now and has been the best choice that I've ever made

You can rehabilitate yourself.. You'll have to keep drinking or taking drugs but have to lower the amount everyday.. This way you'll have what you are craving and you'll be walking towards your betterment slowly.. If you think you are strong and sincere enough with yourself, you can do this yourself.. Otherwise maybe a friend or some rehabilitation center can help you better :)

Try to invest your time and energy in positive actives that you enjoy doing and help your development. Surround yourself by people who help you move forward, not go back to it. Find a support group to discuss your feelings and process. If you consider that you keep pit falling repeatedly, it would be advisable to go to a healthcare facility to recover.

A day at a time will help you from feeling overwhelmed. Begin by consulting with a professional so you can detox safely if need be. Then utilize individual or group therapy and try mutual aid groups for additional support. Remember that a Substance Use Disorder is a chronic disease. Reducing harm is progress. A " relapse" may be a set back but can be dealt with swiftly.

First thing is to talk to someone who can support you and help you not to give up. There are a lot of organisations who help people who are trying to change and stop their addictions, you are not alone.

If you have to ask yourself how you can stop drinking and taking drugs shows you have already accepted the fact that you need to quit, and simple taking a day at a time not doing these two things will help you quit. Each day is a fresh start to not drink or do any drugs. You may also seek professional help as well to assist you on qutting.

That is a very hard path... Being someone who struggles with that I have to say never give up. Giving is the first step to your worst life. You can be strong! It is so very hard but not impossible. The sober life is the good life. I recommend talking to someone.

Seek professional help. Confide in those closest to you. Create a support system. Remove yourself from people or situations that encourage you to use. Remember things that made you happy before you began using. Focus on loving yourself.

Try to set a personal goal that you think you're able to achieve. Start by setting short-time goals, and achieving them, and whenever you're prepared, go ahead and try the same thing with long-time goals.

There are a few methods such as re habilitation centres, medications, sheer will and medical motivation such as damaged organs. However it all boils down to the will and determination to change
