ezs note: When you are dealing with the daily difficulties of being transgender, it might be a good idea to see a therapist.  When you are struggling  with addiction problems (one estimate is 30 percent) it might be a doubly good idea.  First, make sure the therapist is certified.  Second, make sure that you  are comfortable with her/his methods.  But do it!  You'll be happier, I promise.
