I really need some help. I just got out of rehab and have relapsed hard and then again every day since then (I’m an alcoholic meth addict). Ended up in the hospital a couple days ago. The rehab taught me nothing except Jewish “coping skills” like Buddhism and the 12 steps. I just thought I’d ask recovered addicts with a similar thought process as me what they did to get over this shit.

Distractions (staying distracted) always helped me the most (but I wasn't a 'major' addict just five or six Vicodin a day) but this works only after you've decided once and for all that it's worth it. Living real life is the best way.

Problems are gonna come as it is anyway (sickness, deaths of loved ones, financial), better to deal with them without having one hand tied behind your back, and ultimately death is coming - not something you want to deal with in a less than optimal state of mind if you have a choice.

Yeah distractions definitely help, I was sober for about a week after rehab by working overtime, working out, working out, and playing video games. But I guess I didn’t make the decision it was worth living for. Appreciate your response man

It's not easy, but you can do it and it's so worth it. Hang in there.
