Professional help: Very few people are able to pull themselves completely out of an addiction "spiral." Ultimately, you have to do the heavy lifting, but there are people who can help you learn to use the tools you need to get sober and remain that way. However, the route you take may depend on your drug(s) of choice. Check online on chemical dependency programs in your area. There are also self-help programs-AA/NA

Addiction: I am so happy to see you reaching out and asking for help. This is the first step to getting your life back. I want to communicate to you that there is a solution to your troubles. First comes treatment and detox and then comes a program to keep you clean and healing so that your life gets to be productive and purposeful. Treatment is a fancy word for equation. Learning about the disease.

The first step: is admitting you have a problem. Now you need a drug rehab program to get you off the drugs. The fact you want to get off of them you have a good chance at succeeding.
