Mostly, a day at a time...sometimes an hour or a minute at a time.
Don't know what your drug of choice is...but, have you considered going into a medical detox and/or rehab? If you can manage to withdraw from the drug(s) on your own (which can be both difficult and dangerous), your next step could be AA and/or NA meetings...just go on-line for a list of those near you.
In the meantime...welcome to SR, and keep on posting here. You'll find a lot of love and support, no matter what your particular brand of poison.

If recovery was for people who needed it I would never be able to get on the SR web site. Recovery is for people who want it. I had to know deep down inside that I wanted to change. Only you can make the decision to get clean. Here is how you do it. Don't use no matter what (it took me a long time to get that part right) Don't hang out with the old play mates in the old playground with the old play toys. Get to a NA or AA meeting and ask for help. Keep us posted of your progress. You will get some great support here at SR.

Try to find a good reason to quit. Quit for yourself, and if your lucky enough to have someone who cares deeply for your well being, quit for them and yourself...
Its not easy, if it were like logo said, SR's server would crash every day...
Best of luck to you...
One day at a time.

Thanks everybody. It helps to feel supported. My drug of choice at this point is pot and pills. I haven't had a drink in 15 years but I need to give up the rest. Thanks for the feedback about wanting it. I do want recovery-I'm just scared to give up using. The withdrawals are hard to take and I end up using again each time I've become too uncomfortable.
