I understand what you are saying. And I believe that sometimes we set ourselves up exactly for things we go through in life. Kind of create real world scenarios to help us understand the inner dramas that we have in our subconscious. IT is one of the common psychological explanation anyway that therapists seem to use a lot - that we put ourselves in situation where we keep recreating real world scenarios of stuff we believe about ourselves - they claim that the subconscious is so very powerful and that it lets you create your own life as a mirror of your basic beliefs in life.
That is why it is important to get the most important thing about yourself set right - your mind. Otherwise, irrespective of what you do, you will always end up in failure if you basically believe yourself to be unworthy.
Regarding the chemical dependancy, it is worriesome. How long have you been dependant?
I don't know if you can get out of it just with this babble support that you get. Why don't you go to a new thearpist and help yourself? You probably need professional assistance to get out of it. When you go to a therapist, work with her/him and try to let them help you. Try your best to make the experience pleasant for them and they will be able to help you. Work with them, and show your willingness to change. They are also human, so they will be happy only if you show interest and motivation and gratitude and know you are sincere and genuine in helping yourself. And even if they make a mistake, don't hold it against them. Try to be gentle with yourself and with the therapist. IT will help you a great deal.
