Here is a link to a chapter in a book that gives some good examples of people who broke free from addiction and how they did it. Just highlight it and right click to view or you can go to the source web page and download the book for free. (Questions young people ask, answers that work).
I hope this helps you.

Methamphetamine, yes, but it is not easy. Tweak is out of a body system in three days, but mental withdrawal symptoms can happen for over a year afterwards. The mental withdrawal is called jonezing and it’s terrible – you feel overcome with anxiety, can taste the substance randomly, feel your veins itch and burn if you were an IV user, etc. and what causes a jonezing trip is as simple as listening to a song you heard when you were high once, seeing an image of a needle on TV, etc. I’ve relapsed 3 times in 2 years. Originally, I was straight on insuffulation (snorting) and smoking. When I relapsed, I got deeper in with the more potent form of IV injection.

I stopped by first breaking of all ties with people associated with the lifestyle. I moved, changed my phone number, stopped talking to the people, etc. Second, I sat it out and remained sober. Three, I had someone close to me also quitting and we supported one another. Four, I learned how to deal with problems with better coping mechanisms instead of drowning it out with drugs.
