I call a spade a spade so don't be surprised if it feels like a pitchfork coming your way.

I don't have any PERSONAL experience but do have a couple of friends who have. You can see that there IS a "problem" which is a big part of the battle already won. Have you tried seeking any AA or NA recovery groups? They can HELP you relearn how to handle situations to a point, & help you with a sponsor to give you MORE HELP, and the meetings themselves will help you remember you're not alone in your struggles with addiction. I wish you all the luck in the world with overcoming the addictions. :hug:
