I guess the first step is to call a therapist. Do you have insurance? If so, they will help you find one who has experience with substance abuse. I think until you get a handle on that, you aren't even going to get a reasonable diagnosis (which you are already aware of). It's difficult to lose a relationship and easy to turn to drugs (I did coke off and on for almost a decade- when i think of all the money i spent, i feel ill). Once i made the decision (and hit my bottom), it was easy after- like you i really didn't have an alcohol problem. I did move and actually returned to college where i met my husband- so yes getting away from your drug 'friends' does help. I wish you all the best- judy
