From Meth to Crack and now to Quit

I would be very appreciative for some professional or first hand experience advice.

I've been using Meth intranasaly for approximately 5 years on a daily basis. I've always wanted to stop but greatly feared suffering the depression and withdrawl. I'm 40 years old. Essentially, I'm a functioning addict. About 4 months ago I switched to smoking crack with the idea that it's not as difficult to rehab from and more is known about treatment methods.

I want to do this alone. I keep telling myself that I can. However, as I write, requesting your input, I've just realized that it is impossible for me to do so.

Thanks in advance for your comments on what to expect and suggestions on steps I can take such as vitamins, exercise and cautions with regard to quitting this paralyzing and destructive cycle that I've gotten myself into.

LOOK, I'm going to be brutally honest. You made a stupid decision when you first started using. It seems like atleast some part of you knows that. If you actually want to stop, and get off a drug like that, you're not going to do it on your own. What you need to do is go online, and lookup any psychiatric/rehab clinics in your area, find one that does seem like a joke shop, and check yourself in, and tell them NOT TO LET YOU LEAVE until you are clean. Even then, if you're not serious about this, you'll just go out and score and make all that effort worthless. YOU HAVE TO REALLY MAKE THE DECISION TO NEVER USE AGAIN. AND THAT MEANS NOTHING!
-IT WILL BE DIFFICULT!
-IT WILL HURT!

IF I COULD BEAT HEROIN, YOU CAN BEAT METH/CRACK!!!
