I think the greatest thing is that you have recognized what you have been doing, and the dangers it poses if you continue to do it.
And you've also figured out the WHY you do it.
You are Waaaaaay ahead of the game in terms of getting the help you need!
Keep talking this stuff over with T. And perhaps you can go to an NA meeting and ask someone to be your sponsor so that you have someone to call when these urges come to abuse the pills and drink? Or, if you suffer from social anxiety, could you just call the local NA chapter and request a telephone-only sponsor?
In the reading that I've done, there are all types of help out there, like groups based on self-empowerment, and other things, instead of Narcotics Anonymous which is based on religious belief if you're not religious but still want help. I only mention this because when I looked this stuff up, there was a lot of hype about NA not being the right choice for everyone...just know that there ARE others for you.
I'm very happy to hear you trying to take care of yourself.
Please take the words and turn them into some wonderful actions on behalf of yourself.
My thoughts are with you,
