I only drink wine,and not every day 🥂

I feel alcohol is a way to self medicate. It make you feel better in the short term but feel worse in the long term. The best defense is getting to a 12 step program and I guarantee you will meet people with same problem and are beating it. I also would look for a Dr to give you so pharmaceutical help if warranted. If you've already done that, know that alcohol will counte act the medication so it will seem its not working.

I am guilty of self medicating with alcohol. After being told it affected my liver, I stopped. It wasn’t easy but I did it. Now I can see and cope better with my mental health issues as a clear head enables me to think straight.
I’m sending all my healing love to everyone here that is going towards or has been in such a situation. Alcohol is a short term solution that can lead to a long term illness. And it solves nothing.
I used to do really stupid things when I was under the influence, I would txt people that really would not want to speak to me, phone people only to get them put the phone down. Go out to “socialise” when in reality I would be avoided, ending up making a fool of myself.
I’m not judging anyone but if my words can help just one person, putting my story out there will not be in vain.

Alcohol covers the symptoms up….find a good psychiatrist to start you on a good regimen of medication.

I do smoke🙂
