I need to figure a way out of this hell. Everybody just says go to rehab. That is great if you can do it. I can't. I have a mother I support, a husband in school (my job pays for it and I have no sick leave remaining) he lost his job and we are broke beyond my paycheck. My kid goes to school on my job. We simply can't afford it. I am able to go to work right now though I feel like hell most of the time.

Where is the plan for people in my condition? I don't understand. I've seen a therapist for this, and all she says is 30 day rehab which we can't support or we're all on the streets. I'm just frustrated right now.

Anyway, this is where I am. Still trying desperately to get this damn devil off my back.
