One solution is Alcoholics Anonymous. Another narcotics Anonymous. They both use the twelve steps, which are as follows:\n\n1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol - that our lives had become unmanageable.\n\n2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.\n\n3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.\n\n4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.\n\n5. Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.\n\n6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.\n\n7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.\n\n8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.\n\n9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.\n\n10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.\n\n11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.\n\n12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

I was once in her position and the most helpful thing was the love and support of everyone around me. She needs professional help and will not be able to get through this hard time without it! Make sure she is seeing a doctor about this problem and make sure you are there for her 100%! She needs to know how many people truly love and care for her right now! Assure her that she is going through nothing unusual and that she can make it through. If either of you are religious, I recommend saying prayers together and regularly attending church. Faith can help you through so much! If neither of you ar religious, just stick to the professional help and make sure she has a support group (friends and family) throughout her recovery! Good luck!

first of all keep your head up.  ive been through homelessness on and off for four years and im finally self-supporting and pretty happy.  i dont know if your situation is drug or alcohol related (as mine was) but the best thing you can do is stay sober, stay positive, and find someone to talk who has been through the same.  i promise you if you make the effort (hard as it may be) you WILL get through this.  tell yourself that when you get low.  keep praying and think about what steps you can take to get back on your feet.  take care of yourself, you will be in my prayers.

There's no remedy for this addiction.  My husband has been drawn in by its siren call and I'm not far behind.  My only suggestion is to do your best to pump up your points level when you're not at work so that you're not constantly focused on it while you're supposed to be a functioning member of the business world.\n\nbut then again... screw it... I have to get to the next level!

Hang in there. The best way for us to heal from our problems is to help other people heal from theirs. Do some volunteer work at a hospital.  I just went through this myself, I know how you are feeling. Geting your mind off yourself and focused on the needs of others not only speeds up the healing process, but helps us learn from the pain.

Apply for disability and other forms of public assistance.  That will help to take some of the pressure off of you while you learn to deal with this problem.  Don't give up, there are lots of medications to try.  Stop going to the emergency room, they can't help you.  Instead, spend your money on some alternative therapies.  Try meditation, or hypnosis.

My control over my needs and what happens to be, to resolve it, has been very good... not being forced to accept medications and no hope from the medical model of mental health.\n\nCheck out this great way of recovery... its helped me get my mind and life back, and I am using it to help others.\n\nI would say, from my experience, its a mixture, for me, of some drugs, one to one support that you can get hold of at any time, even if its by text message on a mobile phone, then lots of rest over a good amount of time..., good eating, and not being pushed into situations that cause stress, alongside, less criticism. Understanding the process of how you first realise you have a feeling, right through to understanding it, and living it, then letting it leave you, learning this is usefull... I used a Gestalt model in therapy.\n\nWellness Recovery Action Planning but Mary-Ellen Copeland. (W.R.A.P.) Mental Health Recovery\n\nMary is from Vermont in USA. She has travelled the world to help people with her own experience-based tools. There is sooooooo much info on there.

If you can't seem to get back in control, try calling the distress centre. They are located in the Emergency section of your phone book. The individuals who answer your call know what you are going through and are great at giving you any local referrals you may need, or they are available just to listen. Don't be too hard on yourself, as this WILL pass. Good luck and God Bless.

I am a recovering addict myself, and willing to share my story if it would help. I have now been clean for 4 months and have NO desire to go back to where I have been. I had been on drugs(meth, coke, crack,pot, pills, etc.), for 15 years too. Let me know how to contact you and I would be glad to talk to you about my experiences with drugs and recovery. I can totally relate!

Nothing will help.  It has to work itself out of your system on its own.  Feel better soon.

Congratulations on your sobriety. I suggest you do puzzles and play word games. Some of it will come back but you need to work it.
