Wow Man, Good questions and storyies.
The long and short of it is that you should (Kwill I mean You) get hooked up with an Addiction agency. (now you're thinking Nahhh...) But please listen . There is a lot to know about how addiction affects you...chemically and socially and intellectualy and in your relationships.
We all study to learn a trade or get a doctorate but fear learning about addiction because we might be labelled... well it's worth learning about.
I learned about it and it helped a lot... My father took the courses on a wednesday night (right on campus) and it helped him. THE TRUTH...IS THAT ONCE YOU SEE THE PATTERNS OF ADDICTIVE BEHAVIOUR IN YOUR OWN LIFE YOU WILL BEGIN TO CHANGE. It's a good change in so many ways. You know what to watch for on the inside, you can be free to live again wih new boundaries.
I used to think that I could only have fun with alcohol involved.. now I have fun all the time without it. And It's actually more fun than I ever imagined. Relationships are better too. And I can drive!
All the best to you.. I hope you succeed like my family has!!!
