Please tell me how long it takes for to break an addiction?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
One day at a time: The most successful approaches (12-step) say that it is one day at a time. They view addiction as a life long challenge. You can stop today. Then you stop tomorrow and on and on. They see it as being in recovery and it only takes as long as making a decision to do it. Also it takes a lifetime of doing it. Look them up. They are so welcoming and generous with support. Best wishes!
