Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.

I understand that you are going through a difficult time due to your addiction problems. It's a good thing that you have realized your problems and have come forward to seek help.

I would advise you to see a psychiatrist or visit a de-addiction clinic in your area, so that you would be able to recieve the necessary professional help for getting rid of your addictions. There are various options for help such as medication (anti-craving medication) or psychological therapy (like motivational interviewing) that can be quite helpful.

Wish you all the best.

Regards,
Dr. Jonas Sundarakumar
