Hi sorry to here of your problems but you could go cold turkey (as i am doing now 4 days heroin free) or you could try tapering ( cutting down your tablets slowly at your own pace). what are you addicted too and how much do you use.If you could give us a bit more info im sure we could help you here. I was over 200 days clean before i relapsed a few weeks ago and i got that clean time with the help of people on MH ,,,,,,,,James
