I need support and advice.

I am what most people would consider new to the recreational using world. I've became involved in opiates since January. And cannabis since 2012. I am 20> years old and can't go to family or any professional detox or rehab. I sincerely want help. I want to change. I began as most opiate users most likely began using Hydrocodone. It wasn't what I wanted and I used to take up to 90mg which became too hard on my body (I became sick after every use) I've tried Oxy a couple times. But recently I got ahold of BTH and decided to try it once or twice. Since then I have used at least 8. I don't want to but I feel as if I can't stop myself. I have waited 24 hours before and had no signs of withdrawals but have craved intensely and I've used 3 daily since that break and I'm really concerned. I plan to stop tonight and never use again. I feel so dirty and alone. I have no family to go to. I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on how to quit cold turkey and how to remain sober? Maybe some personal stories or experiences? What you did to keep your mind from craving? Also this is my second post and I believe I followed all the rules but if I didn't no one be afraid to let me know.

U have to figure out why YOU use opiates..they feel good yes but usually its the numbing of emotions and stress that ppl get hooked on and when u come back to reality u crave the escape..theres no miracle cure for opiate addiction but first u have to truly want to quit..try to find things u can do that can take your mind off of using..it takes hard work and since you are new to opiates i suggest stopping immediatly because it will only get harder..wish i could be more help but im still working on getting myself to be completely sober..good luck and u will get better advice from others im sure..there is alot of tips and support here

Youre right. I first need to find the source of this problem. Thank you.

Your welcome..opiates kinda brought the addict in me to my conscious mind because u start to think about things and reflect..i realized i was an addict long before opiates..there was food,sex,love,weed always something to look foward to, always something that would take my mind off how miserable i was and unhappy in life..opiate addiction just has a 99% chance of blowing up in your face due to finances and tolerance..opiates take all the fear and pain outta life..for a while at least..till they turn on u
