You need to face the pain but you may also take medication to suppress the withdrawal symptoms. I suppose you are earning and you are getting your funds to maintain these habits but something has to be done about that to limit your access to those resources: like have someone else in the family to control your finances or access to it. Then I suggest that you go for immediate rehabilitation to a recovery center and stay there for at least 6 months until you are all clear and clean. Even after that, you must continue addiction counseling for at least three years to completely remove the physical and psychological conditioning and craving. You will be told and taught new lifestyles, schedules, habits etc. To totally recover. If there are relapses, do not get too alarmed and give up. You must again persevere and fight this battle until you come out victorious. Your family members and medical fraternity must be there for you right through this recovery. You will also need to attend narcotics anonymous meetings for a long time too.
