I have been there and I salute your commitment to yourself and your future. I wouldn't say I'm 100% out of the woods (I tend to transfer my addictive behaviours onto a new "drug of choice") but for sure, doing the INNER work has helped a lot more than any white-knuckling.
Through my journey I discovered I had CPTSD from emotional abuse in childhood... That trauma caused me to seek ways to soothe myself because I never received soothing from caregivers (nor was taught how to self-soothe in healthy ways)
Good luck! If you have any questions as you progress I'll be happy to answer them.
