It's possible that Zen is not enough. Are you getting any sort of therapy?

No I'm not in therapy, but I honestly don't see the need for it. For me the urge only happens when I am either really angery or really sad, through practice I've begun haveing either of those feelings evenless. Also I have been clean for a few years now so it isn't that hard to overcome the urge when it does arise. I have a feeling maybe(or hopefully) with time the urge will go away. I really brought this whole thing up so that the sangha will know me better and so that we could all share either our vices or addictions and support one another.
Thanks for the concern _/_
