I have with both drugs and alcohol. I was able to kick both through sheer will power but that will power was caused by overdosing, feeling like I was failing people in my life and myself... I had just had enough. That's the thing about addicts. They rarely ever make it out of their addictions because they rarely really, really want to stop. And by stop, I don't mean like, sitting around going "man, I really don't want to be doing this anymore". I'm talking about waking up and having a profound, emotional, this shit ends NOW type of thing. If that drive and determination isn't there, then they're going to keep doing it. It has to be more of an epiphany or it's not going to happen.
That's one of the reasons I look down on programs, self help books and things of that nature. Those things are really good when used as supplementation to help someone who's ready to kick the shit out of their life. But when people are completely weak and clueless and want someone to basically drag them across the finish line, that stuff doesn't work. They have to be the sole strength behind their life change.
