its likely possible since you're a human being and i image that it would take a lot of work given the manner in which you've shared this information.

there's a song out there by sublime that speaks to me and has enabled me to seek out the help that i needed from professionals and maybe it can help you too in some way:

Daddy he once told me,

"Son, you be hard workin' man"

And momma she once told me,

"Son, you do the best you can"

Then one day I meet a man,

He came to me and said,

"Hard work good and hard work fine,

but first take care of head"

they were referring to weed as a coping strategy in the song; which i also do; but i've used it also convince myself to seek out help because no one can take care of the shit that goes on their head if they don't know what they're doing.
