Listening to Lady Gaga's Perfect Illusion and Million Reasons off of her highly anticipated new album 'Jonne' helped me. They're available for purchase on iTunes and I suggest you try this method.
I had one too, and relapsed a lot of times. The only thing that made me overcome it was praying to God/reading the Bible, so that's all I can give you. Also try to focus a lot of your attention onto something else (God, exercise, work, family etc.), then over time you overcome the urges.
If you're in the U.K. look up Talk to Frank. Though, even if you're not, there's still probably helpful things on the site.
I wish you the best and know you can get through this. We're here for you if you ever want to talk
First we need to know what you're addicted to. Some things are harder to get off of, some easier. I've personally never tried any drugs but all of my friends have and we've done couple interventions for one friend in particular but in the end he had to go to rehab so....

Im in a top graduate counseling program currently so hopefully i can help.
We learn about addictions and even though its not my field of expertise I hope I can give some context.
A drug addiction can be a result of many things. It can be a form of coping with a deeper issue (example-turning to cocaine to get rush that another aspect of life use to provide). It may biologically inherited (ex:Genetics and coming from a family with abuse history). It can come from having an addictive personality (an addictive personality can possibly manifest itself in a relationship with control issues etc. ) It can come from environmental influences as well. It can come from so many different things so I would challenge yourself to look at the reason behind the use. Is it for a temporary escape, to ease pain from one area of life, to cope with unexpected changes, etc? I would say to look at where the core issue is stemming from. There are plenty of resources out there that will aid in the process of your recovery.
I would additionally suggest that if it is possible, to go see a counselor in person for personalized care (if you're in college this is usually free with tuition). Some individuals outside of the school charge different rates as well (student rates vs normal rate).
You need to have will power. Imagine yourself not depending on drugs, how happy you'll be. You need motivation.

don't go to those 12 step programs if you're not religious...I do not know what advice to give you as I've never had an addiction. the only thing I can say is we're always here to talk
Also, don't feel bad for actually doing the drug. You might feel guilty or ashamed - but do not. Accept you're addicted, what's done is done. The step down is trying to reduce your usage. It's extremely unlikely you'll just stop completely. The most effective way will be trying to limit your intake slightly every day, or every week. That will be less noticeable, and you will notice less side-effects as a result of giving up.
...and need help.
