Is It Possible to Quit an Addiction on My Own Without Any Help?

Question by CDF&DSM: Is it possible to quit an addiction on my own without any help?
[rewrite]This may sound weird but my addiction is benadryl… I know there aren’t any addictive substances in benadryl but I was told that the brain can become addictive to anything that gives it pleasure if you take it for long enough. I’ve been taking between 15 to 20 25mg tablets for about a year now. I’ve stopped before and on the second day I always feel extremely sick. So sick that I can’t stand it so I take some more. But now I have A LOT of will power. Is it possible to actually quit? Will it be dangerous for my health?

If you have A LOT of will power just go see a doctor. I mean it’s not weird to be addicted to some kind of medicine or drugs, it happens a lot! Also, not everyone has to know it when u visit the doctor.

You can do it, reward youself from time to time and good luck with it 😉

Hi, I have struggled with addition in the past, and had questions like you have now. When you have any type of addition, its hard to talk to or ask someone questions. What I found that was very helpful to me was a hotline, I found it to be much easier to discuss my problem and to get steered in the right direction, also to get the right help. Here’s the # (888) 652-0558 – there’s someone there 24/7. I really hope this helps answer your questions and or gets you help.

God Bless
