I'm really happy to see folks suggesting AA. A lot of times, whenever I mention any sort of 12 Step group, it's immediately shot down. Fact is, they work. Whether your higher power is God, your inner spirit or a rocking chair, the Steps work.
My concern when I read this was if Berlin even has an AA. Quick search on Google shows you're good to go.
My other concern is if you're full of shit and just used a generic story to promote your band via your username.
Regardless, I worked in music in the early to mid 90's. It was then I was introduced to cocaine, amongst other substances. I got to the point where in order to perform, I needed coke. Otherwise, I was a mess. So there is the chance you'll have to walk away from your current career. I had to - it's strictly a hobby for me now. But I've been in rehab with plenty of musicians, artists, teachers, doctors, nurses, etc. They were able to kick their demons (as far as I know,) and move forward. So it is possible.
Check out some recovery forums. Also hit Amazon and stock up on some books. Smother yourself with support via friends, family and the interwebz. Good luck.
