A strong psychology background. A lot of addiction starts as self medicating for a MH issue. I see a therapist with specializations in mood disorders and substance abuse. She has keyed more on managing my BP down swings, which is when I drank and used the most, than on the substance abuse itself. CBT/DBT to work on making real changes and providing tools for real life circumstances.
