acceptance, its very hard work to get there , alot of times through counseling, but that is the key.....

Also do you mean PTSD?  If you do there is an amazing therapy called EMDR that I went through after I got sober to deal with the pain of abuse I had suffered at the hands of my ex husband and the medical traumas.  Not to mention some deep seeded childhood trauma I had blocked out.  Look it up.  There is help.
You are never alone.

Welcome.  I'm sorry for your suffering.  You don't have to suffer alone.  Sounds like you've made attempts at quitting and rehab and all that but haven't actually addressed the pain that you are trying to cover up with drugs and alcohol.  There is hope.  You need a plan.  Some after care.  The alcohol and drugs are depressing you and only making the problem worse.  You need to find some light for yourself my friend.  You need to forgive yourself.  The past is the past and all you have is this moment and the choices you make now.  Choose life.  Get sober.  Seek counselling, NA/AA, church, addictions support, whatever helps.  Do it.  You are worth it.  Your life is worth it.  I promise you can do this.  You just gotta dig deep and find that voice in you that is true.  The voice of love.  You deserve to give yourself another chance.
We are here.
Sending support...
