    Sorry, but there is no other way to put your addiction behind you other then recommended ways. If you want to live a long healthy, happy life with your new husband, others will have to know about your addiction if you want to be free of it.

    This is the truth you will have to face.

    My suggestion is only going to work if you, at the very least, you tell your husband about your habit. You can't keep this as a secret forever.

    Toss your glass and along with your husband-to-be, move far away and don't tell anyone where you're going. Move to a place where you don't know who has meth. It's going to be harder to start using again if you don't know where you can get it, and then, eventually, you'll kick it.

    I have some good news for you. Some not so good. The majority of people who stop addictions do so on their own without the aid of treatment or support groups. This has been widely and extensively documented since the early 1970s. It's called spontaneous remission or sometimes maturing out. So there's no question that you can do it on your own... most people do.

    However, a key element in this process is social support. More particularly the support of your family. It's much easier if you have this type of support.

    Further, you should consider the pharmaceuticals that are now available through many physicians. These agents (Naloxone, Naltrexone, etc) reduce craving and to some extent lessen withdrawal. You no longer have to submit to extensive in-patient programs in order to obtain this assistance.

    More and more, addiction specialists are turning to out-patient methods, office visits, in order to provide assistance to patients desiring to stop narcotic use. This would certainly lessen discomfort during your withdrawal.

    If you keep telling the truth like this you'll have those 5000 to 50,000 dollars a month rehab ripoffs putting a contract on you.
