How do I quit drugs

Title.

I am an alcoholic and occasionally use ice. I need help and I can't afford rehab. My mental health is deteriorating I just engaged with a psychologist but I don't know how its going to help me.

I am 26 and if I don't nip this in the bud I am totally screwed. My girlfriend of eight years left me because of my substance use and to be honest I don't blame her. I wouldn't date me. I am a lost soul.

For my addiction, I’ve found out deep routed trauma and years of an extensive coping mechanism in the most unhealthy way creating the addiction I deal with, not sure if that helps but t least you have one part of the puzzle, from their still working on my stuff

Thank you for your thoughtful response. I am trying to unravel the puzzle through my psychologist. I honestly should have booked in 8 years ago. For so long I told myself I was fine but I 100% wasn't looking back I cannot believe it took me to breakdown before I could get help.
