I Want to End My Addiction to Pain Medicine but I Don’t Know How?

Question by Lulu: I want to end my addiction to pain medicine but I don’t know how?
I have been on pain medicine for a little over ten months and I am very much out of control but I can’t stop. Can someone please tell me of some kind of support programs or hotline that could help me even a little?
I cannot just go to a therapist. I have no medical insurance, I have no access to medical help and it makes me feel helpless. That is why I am here. I don’t know where to turn to.

I don’t know much but maybe start by asking for help because addiction is hard to deal with on your own
