Hi Uncouth, good to hear from you.
I want you to really feel better, and so I'm seconding Mellow's advice.
A male relative with addictions /compulsions and BPI did this:
Moved out of the big city.
Moved to the sticks--that did not work out :)
Moved near a metropolitan area nice suburb, close to a family that knew him and loved him. He had some stable connection to trust.Found a business (real estate and rehabbing homes). Broke down walls with sledgehammers.
Still day trades, but having a hands-on business doesn't allow him the unstructured time.
Works out intensely.
He's very smart, ex-Wall St. Did AA but didn't stick; somehow he remains sober, in part, because he channels excess energy into more constructive means.
However, he did AA for sometime, and I think just showing up to the meetings gave him more than he might have realized.
And my own two cents is have one doctor you trust oversee your med /supplement intake.
I can see how life after your great rehab experience would be incredibly challengeing. :( Maybe step out to some meetings. Do you talk at them? Maybe you haven't found one you clicked with yet?
Wishing you the best,
