It's commendable that you're seeking help. Overcoming addiction takes time and support. I recommend talking to a therapist or counselor who specializes in addiction; they can guide you through strategies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Additionally, setting clear goals and reducing triggers gradually can also help you regain control.

I've been struggling with panic attacks, heartburn, and feeling suffocated for the past couple of years.

Can you suggest any other ways or treatments that might help me with these problems?
