Can't do this anymore

This is my first post. I have a serious addiction but I am severly functional. Every payday I blow 300-400 on my"choice"! I cant get ahead. I am terrible with meetings and just had a good time in rehab. Rehab was a joke and way too much drama. I guess that goes with addiction. Many outpatient programs have taught me the basics but I feel like I am reapeating them not applying them. I am 7 hours clean now and this is the first time I am doing this type of thing for myself. Noone told me about this site I found it. I want help any suggestions? This season is soo hard!:atv I like this guy I am a EX Pro atv racer:atv

Hi and welcome,

I guess all I can say is that when the pain of addiction becomes too much to bear, I hope you get help and do what is suggested of you.
Recovery IS possible, and living without substances can be so freeing.
It's hard to get there initially, but when you do, you'll be high in a whole different way. Keep reading and posting - I'm glad that you joined us.

Welcome to SR!

I had to want to stay sober
more than I wanted to drink.
Only then did I quit.

Glad to see you here
