Don't do it alone, seek professional help because if you'd do it alone, you are prone for abuse (physical, verbal, even sexual) by a drug addict boyfriend.
I used to have a friend whose bf is a drug addict. She tried everything she can until she was too exhausted and drained (emotionally & financially) to help. She committed suicide to get the attention of his bf hoping she would change. She was heavily criticized by everybody for committing suicide, her reputation was tarnished and best of all IT NEVER WORKED to change his bf.
