What are things u might suggest that i do to help me quit. Note: i am quitting cuse i have a drug test in about 3 weeks for a new job. Would you suggest any drinks/food to help me pass the test?...

thx
Well, first do you truly want to quit or are you just quitting to pass a pee test and once passed you'll be hitting again?

The answer determines what chances you have in recovery.

If you want to truly quit, instead of your nightly routine of get home, eat and get bored then call friends.... do something else. Volunteer to be a tutor at the library, go to the gym or Y, read, join area clubs and organizations, be active in your church..... all of which sound fuddy duddy, I know, however, tutoring for example teaches humility and understanding of others less fortunate, those are great attributes to have and will help you farther in life.

It's hard as hell to quit an addiction, and 2 things are required a 100% commitment and change in lifestyle and support from family and friends and dropping those that don't support you.

Now, if it's just a pee test you want to pass..... I can't help you, but I do know there's a few threads on it, just do a search.
