I struggle with addiction, starting to drink or use drugs, and it gets bad quickly, leading to 3-day hangovers and week-long withdrawals. I'll get sober, but a week or two later, I relapse. Sometimes it's worse than others, depending on how fast I decide I need to stop. I'm severely depressed and tired of living like this. I get no joy or tranquility, which makes me give in to drinking and drugs again. I desperately want to be sober and find peace. What advice can you offer for someone in my situation?
