What can I do to break the cycle of addiction and achieve lasting sobriety, considering the insights from the episode #392: It's Not Your Fault, But It's Your Responsibility: Healing Trauma with Thais Gibson and the clip Overcoming Subconscious Patterns? I struggle with addiction, and when I start drinking or using drugs, it gets bad quickly, leading to 3-day hangovers and week-long withdrawals. I can get sober for a week or two, but I often relapse, sometimes worse than others, depending on how quickly 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.
