Absolutely it's common to have both a mental health diagnosis and a substance abuse problem. Of the people in my rehab, I'd say approximatley half have both. I know I do. I go to a support group specifically for people with both, and it's called Double Recovery. There's also Dual Disorders Annonymous. I like these groups better than AA, as you can talk about your mental health as freely as your addiction. You might want to check to see if either group meets in your city.
