You don't say what addiction you are suffering with or whether there are several addictions. People can be addicted to so many things, drugs, alcohol, food, sex, gambling, work, exercise etc etc I work with many people who are addicts and central to it all is how they feel about themselves. Do the therapists you have worked with have training in addiction? It is so impt to understand addiction and how to help someone through it. The addiction usually numbs out the painful feelings that are inside.
There are also 12 step programmes which are support groups for recovering addicts. They range from alcholics anonymous, narcotics anonymous, overeaters anonymous (for all eating disorders), sex addicts anonymous, sex and love addicts anonymous, CODA (codependents), gamblers anonymous, workaholics anonymous etc etc They have regular meetings in lots of countries around the world both f2f and online.
Get support to find recovery as addiction ususally just gets worse and worse. The best thing I ever did was get recovery from my addiction
