You have a few options.

You can continue on your path that eventually leads to death or you can stop.

You length of time using is short, you habit is not large and you are young.  All these things will help to make withdrawal more tolerable and shorter.

You can taper or you can cold turkey.  Lots of advice on these pages.  You have to stop snorting them firstly, you are harming yourself more by using them this way.

Alternative therapies????  Yes, any therapy (aftercare) which allows you to substitute your using for an ALTERNATIVE.

I know what I want to say but my mind is shutting down on me and I can't find the words to say something helpful about anything right now. I know the feeling of not wanting to feel the way you do when you get up. Been a long hard road for me to get to where I am now and be able to say i do have a major problem that needs to be taken care of now! I am 26 almost 27 and have been abusing since I was 13. Where have I been the last 13 yrs of my life? Half of my life is gone and wasted on drugs What do I have to show for that? A lot I would say but nothing that even deserves to be a part of my life. It hurts me knowing I will never get those yrs back, but the yrs I have ahead of me are what I have to think about not the past. 4 months (and in no way is this meant to be mean) of being on them Damn what I wouldn't give to say I haven't had this addiction for as long as I have. Addiction is addiction no matter if you have become addicted just 5 mins ago or 13 yrs ago. Yeah 5 mins ago is gonna be a cake walk and then some compared to 13 yrs. Anyways I am gonna stop here cause I don't want to say something that comes off negative when that is by no means my intentions. Nothing but the best wishes to you and whatever route you decide is gonna be the one that works for you! It is GREAT that at 4 months into it you were able to see you were getting out of control and took that as your wake up call to stop now while it isn't too late and you aren't so far down you can't see a way out! Really be proud that you could see that cause most don't see it til it hits them in the face but it might be too late. I WILL BEAT THIS ADDICTION AND I WILL BECOME A RECOVERING ADDICT THAT GOT HER LIFE BACK! Head up and keep posting you will figure out exactly what you need to do in no time
