1. The Trauma Therapy Response is great.

2. Find a Real Therapy

3. Open Awareness Meditation where you watch without judgement your surroundings as well as upcoming thoughts and emotions and let them go improves your -> general awareness

That makes you directly feel when you lose your balance and strengthens impulse control

4. Wisdom. You know what is wrong but in the moment when you want to do the drug and really do it you do 2 things.

(1)You overestimate the positive outcomes of your Action. In Sum total they make you worse. You must remember that and develop willpower and maybe sustain some pain to get through this and liberate you. (2) you push away your insight and that is the opposite of wisdom. You have to hold in to the insight into the negative outcomes if you want to liberate yourself from reproducing new bad body-mind formations (karma).

5. Trust/Faith

When you find evidence in science, reports of others and your own experience that you can overcome this with just doing what you know is right, then your faith grows. And faith destroys doubts. Without doubts you go forward in life.

It is in your hand.

Go THROUGH the suffering to come out somewhere else.

You are a great person. Do not cloud your own mind wilfully.
