Ya according to my T it's common for people with CPTSD to self medicated. Also seems alcohol is the common choice. I am one of these people, but I didn't know that I had ptsd until recently. Now it's all coming together for me as to why I use it. I've been really thinking about this lately. Good topic OP, I am learning a lot on this site from all of you. I have to go to my gp to get my meds sometime soon. In the mean time I am not using and
avoiding any trigger's that can create the disaster that is created with drinking.
