Naaah,
You just feel hopeless. I did not quit until I was 58 and thought the same. Dee said a mouthful there. I did a 7 day in hospital detox, used my Docs, and AA as well as here and one on one and group counseling until I got on my feet. Glad you know you need to learn coping skills. Do you AA? I only used AA for the first three months but would use them again if I had to do it again. (which I will not thank you very much.) What can I do to help? Lots of us codies here as Amy mentioned. We can get by, with a little help from our friends.
