I think everybody that has an addiction problem has other problems that are driving it. Some you have to resolve mentally, others you might be able to change. If for example your job is making you very unhappy it might be positive to find another one and leave the toxic one behind. I read books, came here to SR, tried AA, did counseling. Also some personal things resolved themselves. Of course I've relapsed many times. But I'm not giving up and neither should you. I'm 7 months sober tomorrow. Good luck.
