What is the cure to drug dependency, if there is one?

I've tried quitting alcohol and getting a job, but I ended up boozing
again when I came home from work, and later I wasn't functional enough
to keep the job, so I quit. So I'm pathetic and unemployed.

Yet now I'm faced with another aggravating period of sobriety because
funds I allotted for alcoholic beverages have disappeared.

The last time I entered forced sobriety I *did* get a job. But I
found the job was not enough, it hardly took any kind of emotional
problem away from me.. despite the fact that activity helps to free
one's mind. But it did not work--not for me, anyway.

So I fear I shall retreat to booze once again, no matter what kind of
employment I end up getting. The social "difficulties", the inability
to communicate to certain people, lowers my confidence and leads me to
find it, once again, inside a bottle.

Just that temporary lift of confidence I get from alcohol is really
all I need--I don't want the drunken moron who's too drunk to know
he's "buzzed." Of course I appreciate the sedation (secondary), but
first and foremost I crave the stimulating effect which results from
"shedding of inhibitions."

Have you considered switching to marijuana? I drink and smoke pot,
but I much prefer the pot because it doesn't interfere with ability
to function. There is no way I could drink and work, much less
drink all day long, but I can work on pot and smoke it constantly
with no ill effect other than coughing (and that is remedied by
eating it or using a vaporizer).

yage IS ayahuasca. in which book did burroughs mention it as a cure?
I've just read naked lunch and in it he says that it didn't do much for
him. I think something that sounds like ibedone is used to cure
addictions. psychedelic trips tend to make me reflect on my substance
usage

Recovery is possible see thread above
"A Scanner Darkly" film review (NY Times)

William S. Burroughs was actually cured by a Doctor using apomorphine. This
is sold on the net as a sex pill @ $20 per pill.

The magic is not in the pill but in your will to quit.
Whatever you believe in will work. What do you believe in?

ibogaine? (poss?), but goodluck getting some of that

I don't believe in anything.

I lost my belief in religion/spirituality 9 years ago, and I lost my
trust in people around the same time.. because people I thought were
my friends, had no problem ridiculing me when they wanted to "impress"
their other friends.

So, I don't have any trust for anything or anyone.

I do wish I could force someone to just give me a painless death.. and
assuming I don't wake up, well then there's no further issue with
trust.. and no issues with belief. This is what I want.

And BTW, I don't care how selfish it is. I really don't, not at all.

I don't feel a human being is "intrinsically" better than, say, a
rodent in the wilderness.. these little animals are given painful,
albeit quick, deaths from natural predators all the time.
