You will learn quite a bit about addition there. Many Psyche students are recommended to attend, regardless, to get the best education about addiction of any sort. You may find you actually like attending if you enjoy learning. You'll come to recognize your own pathologies in relation to addiction(s) when you hear others speak their own - since one never knows the myth they are living, ya know. Your girls are integral in ways you are yet to know. And BTW, addiction is *not* a character issue on your part. Attending is. Lastly, not being poetic, nor exaggerating - this is it, you are fighting for your life. Best to you and your girls man.
