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.

The disease attitude is somewhat bullshit imo. The propensity is a character trait which is mediated both by genetics. You can't get rid of that. The cycle of abuse of your body is a choice. You know a lot of people choose to drink and get high every day, and they don't consider themselves addicts because they aren't trying to quit. They like it. They may not have a disease.
