alcohol, mental health

[neurodivergenthltb]

i've been struggling with alcohol addiction for a while now, and i'm genuinely wondering if i should tell my foster mom. every time i manage to get better, i end up relapsing. when i don't drink, i start experiencing what feels like psychosis, so i feel trapped in this cycle. it's starting to make me depressed, and i don't feel like myself anymore. has anyone been through something similar or has advice?

Not specifically to this, based on neuroscience this has a reason, a certain pain in your mind, that is just buried deep

Do you think it's possible to identify it? It's hard I know, the only way out of it is to acknowledge the reason and work with it directly

Your past? Is it to push something or to run away from something? What exactly is it that causes it in the real world right before you commit the act. is there a trigger of some sort?

I've struggled with some addictions in the past the more you fight it, the more your mind is going to do it.

Might not work with you but what worked for me was to completely remove the cause (a habit might be trauma or fear in ur case), the thing that directly made me do it, and then completely forgetting about it, pretty much reaching a point where I was lying to myself that it doesn't exist and that I never did it. (Hard to explain, think of it as looking at yourself from a third perspective. As if your conscious mind was controlling a videogame character irl)

It's about facing it instead of just burying it

Ofc might not work for everyone you need fairly large awareness of how your mind functions, and regulation, in a way you need to become a "master of your mind" despite the cringy term that's what kinda worked for me.

Kinda a rant that prob won't work but it's backed by neuroscience from my scattered knowledge of it.

Btw if you need help feel free to dm

i've been there, it's something i'm struggling w/ too. what i find is helpful is to tell someone you can trust (a friend, a therapist, etc.) and have them help you keep yourself accountable. i also find myself moving from one vice to another when trying to quit (ie. quitting alcohol and going to weed, quitting weed and going to alcohol) so try to substitute it w/ a different activity. like i always have a vodka w/ juice at 5 pm so i'm trying to substitute it w/ just juice at the same time to keep the habit w/o the vice. it also helps to find something you like to do and put your energy that you would put into drinking into that thing (ex. art, exercise, reading, etc.) i'm open to chat if you need help, i believe you can get better but it's not something you can do alone <3
