It was very uncharacteristic of me; yet, relieved so much inner pain and feeling "unsettled," I was sure it was in my best interest to drink more and more. I admitted this to my pdoc and he changed my meds. I lost the craving for alcohol.


There is a lot of "active alcoholism" in my family. There are also many undiagnosed/untreated mental health conditions. My family members are self-medicating.


I was self-medicating before my meds were changed.


Do you feel any part of your drinking is "self-medicating," on top of your current meds?


Much love to you, LadyShadow.
