prescription medication and alcohol
hi!
i have no idea how to start this but basically i used to drink quite badly especially in the last couple of years being in and out of a relationship but because of health issues i stopped drinking but unfortunately now it’s almost like i’ve become reliant on prescription opioids just to feel calm and quite and i hate that i do it but i honestly don’t know how else to get my head quite and to just relax
@BubblegumBarbie I’m really glad you shared this. It makes sense that when alcohol went away, your brain reached for something else just to feel calm and quiet. That doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with you, it means your nervous system is worn down and trying to cope.
Noticing that you don’t like this pattern is important. A lot of people don’t catch that until much later. You don’t have to figure everything out right now or judge yourself for needing relief. Wanting peace in your head is human. You’re not alone in this, even if it feels that way right now.
