Griffe,

Beating any addiction is really hard. I wasn't able to do it alone. I went through rehab twice plus had great support from my T, pdoc, and addictions Dr., and I go to AA regularly as well as an addictions treatment group once a week at a hospital. I need that much support to stay sober.

You have to really want to be clean and sober because it's really hard work. Getting sober was the hardest thing I've ever done. But it's also the best thing I've ever done. Only you can make the decision of how badly you want it for yourself. If you decide you want it, get away from people who use or have substances around. Talk to your Dr. about treatment options if that's necessary. Go to AA/NA meetings for support. You don't have to do it alone. There are people willing to help if you want it.

All the best.
