I must agree that you have to admit that you have a problem for anything to progress and work. If you are in denial you can't expect to get anything accomplished. You have to want to help yourself and thats the bottom line.

I use to work for a rehab center for drug addicts and Im thinking about going back. The problem that i found was that people use to always want to live in the future, which made the become anxious and relapse. Never taking one day at a time.

You can't say that, I have seen many people recover fully from an addiction that they have had. IT is possible, never say never, Most people that go in with that type of attitude will always relapse, ALWAYS.
