cant stop these cravings for oxycontin

[deceasedwithin]

Im a 22 year old female and I have been addicted to oxycontin for 7 months. It was a hidden habit that only me and my bank account new about.  Recently i gained the courage to come off of it.  I was snorting 80-120 mg a day every day, working all week just to support my habit. I am now at day 7 of withdrawing, the first 4 days being the worst. My problem now is completely mental. I have high anxiety and i am craving opiates so badly even though i know i could not physically go through these withdrawals again. Although i wasnt posting on this site during my withdrawals i read the forum every day to help ease my mind. Are there any techniques that help people stay off of this drug? I am not religious so please nothing of that sort. These cravings are very intense and im scared for my life that i will go back to using, if anyone can help me please respond, thank you.

why did you snort vs. just taking them and chewing?

im on day 7 of not doing it so yes the main withdrawal symptoms are gone.. now its just lingering anxiety and depression

oh man if i only had suboxone during the first few days, i didnt have the extra $200 to get the pills cause i had wasted all my money on oxy. how ironic haha
