anyone else?

So, when I leave the house I have so many things I have to do. I check my wifes hair str8net, count my meds, check the computer, all the doors, kitchen window etc, etc.... And kf I think I didn't check something good enuf, I have to do all of them over again. Sometimes 5 or 6 times. It can easily take me 30 min b4 I get out the door.
I had this issue as a child (ive never told anyone about it) but for the longest time I had it in check. That is until recently when my oxy addiction has spiralled out of control. So here is my question.....does anyone else also have a substance abuse problem? And find that the two usually go hand in hand as far as getting out of control?
I am such a freaking mess!!!! ;-(

I only know about the checking part of OCD and how to try to get over that.  However, I know nothing about addiction so you may want to try the addiction forum.  I have no idea how addiction plays a role in exacerabating OCD.
