Dear Nevyn,
Blake is right.You have to just make up your mind that no matter what happens, you will not use. I am a cocaine and narcotics addict. For me, the thought of sobering up again keeps me clean. But that does't mean it is easy. No matter what - don't use.
It does get better. It gets much better. Imagine not having that yoke around your neck - the one that tells you that you can't do anything without using. I have been clean and sober for 14 years, but every once in a while, I get a craving. I just have to think about what it took for me to get clean and then I remember why I don't use.
Oh, and it doesn't take 14 years to feel this way.
Stay strong. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
An AA member once told me: "One is too much, and a thousand is never enough."
