The Disease: Addiction is really a brain disease and is not really about the substances that are used to get high; the substances that are used to escape; the substances that are used to feel better. The problem with the disease is that it is progressive leading one to more and more isolation and even death. There is hope. There really is a solution. Please reach out to ask for help from your family doctor.
