Zopiclone VS Diphenhydramine

OK it may end up coming out all gibberish, but basically i am addicted to Diphenhydramine (Nytol, Benadril and more)
I buy the 25mg bottles and i have  started taking 60-65 a day to get a good high and pass out. i dont even know why i am typing this. I was involved in a violent relationship, and used alcohol to sort me out, but that didnt do my body good, i so i ended up with the Diphenhydramine, initially one or two a day but i got used to them quick, i really do fear that one day i will not come back from the trip. Im not making excuses as to what started me taking the pills, but i need off, as my mother is in the final stage of copd, and i have to be there for her, but as you can imagine its next to impossible when im off my rocker. My doc gave me some Zopiclone and said cut the others down by ten a week, but im really terrified of what i wold do if i had none of my diphens. I have tried and tried to get more help, but they dont wnna know unless they are illegal :/

Yeah i found it, and its very hard hitting in more ways than one.  Diphenhydramine is a Pharmacy only drug in the UK, and all the chemists in my town now know who i am and wont sell it to me anymore, so i have to drive out of town to different areas and try to get it there.  Doing it this way costs around $10 a night, which is why i turned to Ebay, and found online sellers in the US, but i always seem to run out earlier every month, which leads me round the pharmacies again! I seem to have a problem getting addicted to just about anything. Im a recovering alcoholic (11 months dry) cant go without my Co-codamols (30-500) you will never see me without a can of diet coke (even in Starbucks when i have a flat white!) and i smoke 2 packs of Winston Reds a day    I know all my problems, yet i cant deal with them :/
