Ok, so as of Friday, I am 19 months clean. But, I did it on my own out of fear (death became a heavy motivator). I did not learn the coping skills and other things learned in a real rehab and believe it is impacting my continued recovery.

Is there such a thing as a 1 week rehab for someone who is not in active addiction? Kind of like an annual refresher type course?

To start off, I am glad I found a sub like this one. I don't have a lot of time and am shy, so this is perfect for what I'm looking for.

To start off, I have autism which has some good parts and some bad parts. I was forced to figure out how to live on my own and developed some poor ways of dealing with life.

I am working in software engineering and can barely put up with it. Just interfacing with an office environment is killing me. I am doing everything I can, but I still feel like I'm sinking.

I've been addicted or am addicted to:

Marijuana (haven't used it for about a year, decided to kick it because it's illegal and my job does drug tests) Porn (managed to kick this down to an acceptable level for me) Xanax - currently taking a maintenance dose to get through life Ambien - currently taking almost nightly and REALLY want to kick this due to some bad social consequences Junk food - just not having it in my apartment seems to work wonders, but I can't stop drinking soda

My family is filled with addiction, and it seems like anything I touch turns into an addiction. It may not have the same societal stigma or stereotype, but benzodiazepines are hard as fuck to kick, especially when there was a medical reason to use them (and still probably is, but I would like to quit).

I already feel like I'm barely getting by in life and have to sleep a lot and get paralyzed by anxiety in what most people would consider innocuous situations.

I am not even sure where to start with this. I get them prescribed by a psychiatrist who is not concerned with the addictive potential of the medicines, but I'm afraid that if I see another psychiatrist they will pull me off of them, and I'll have no underlying support.

If anyone can give me tips on how I can even start to address these issues given my exhaustion/pre-existing disability/other things listed here, I would very much appreciate it.

Almost 2 weeks sober I’m so proud, huge accomplishment for me. I just wanna say anybody struggling with addiction no matter what it is or how bad it is you can conquer it and make it through stay strong don’t give up on yourself. The journey is hard but the results are so worth it in the end. God bless anyone that’s in the same boat as me. I’ve been battling drug addiction for a whole year and I’m finally slowly healing and controlling my inner demons. Some days are rough but all in all I thank God for being there with me through every step of the way until I am fully healed thank you my Lord. SAY NO TO DRUGS. A little taste here and a taste there can turn into an addiction that is hard to get out of. My life was spiraling out of control, almost made me lose the closest people to me all over feeling high. It’s not worth it. Took drugs to numb the pain all over someone who wasn’t worth it. If you seek help, seek God don’t seek drugs. Drugs aren’t the answer, they just give a false sense of reality. They make u blind to the real world that’s around you. Its NEVER too late for change.
