You may need to go to an inpatient program. If you have too much free, unstructured time, it’s going to be very difficult to stop using. You need to be around recovering addicts as much as possible. You need to go through your withdrawal and then work a program of recovery, whether it be 12-step programs, another spiritual practice, or whatever.
If you’re going to meetings, that’s great, but anyone in AA or NA will tell you that that isn’t enough. You have to get a sponsor and start working the steps. I personally have some problems with the 12-step program, but I can tell you from personal experience that it does have the ability to save your life if you use it.
Try to fill your days with as much activity as possible. If you are just sitting around, then you will eventually start thinking about using again.
Good luck to you.
