the most important thing is getting to a point everyday where you wake up and not getting high seems more normal than getting high
like i said before for some people this takes being locked up, moving, changing the people you hangout with, sweating it out for 30 days at a treatment facility...
just try to get to a point where getting high isn't your default. that will start to change the wiring of your brain and then go from there.
in my experience, a big part of getting there was getting on methadone - it let me restore my factory settings to where getting high daily wasn't my number 1 priority. a lot of quitting is letting go of the habitual de ritual - all the points where your brain joneses / releases endorphins (calling your dope man, seeing him pull up after waiting an hour, chopping it up, fixing)
once you do that, the process of scoring drugs and getting high will seem to get in the way of your normal daily activities (instead of vice versa)
