I never turned to alcohol or any drugs. I actually think that the BP was part of the reason. I spent a good part of my teen years in a hypomanic state so I felt good without having to do anything. The only exception is that I smoke cigarettes (nothing else). I only recently figured out that I actually may be doing that to self medicate since I also have add and smoking helps me focus.
