When I decided2quit coke&meth I moved away. I moved1800miles away where I didn't know anybody except my roommate. And then I told myself how yeah it felt great when I used but coming down was bad. Id ask myself, "If u do this will u feel good2morrow?" And the answers always no. I did move back home after6mos&started using heroin but that's on "my entire story" not here. But asking myself if I would feel good the next day helped a lot. Whenever I would get the urge2use I would say, "yeah u wanna feel good&use but u know its only temporary. What about coming down? Eating? Sleeping? Will u be happy with this decision tomorrow?"
When I went2the methadone clinic they helped me2learn what triggers me2want2use. Then I figured out ways2not use in those situations. IE, when I'm with ppl who I used2party with I wanna use&party with them for old times sake. So I either avoid those ppl or when I DO see them I find other things2do like go eat or see a movie, but NEVER use.
This has worked4me very well&its kept me clean off heroin for over4yrs and I haven't done meth or coke for closer to6yrs. Alcohol, almost8.
