What is it about alcohol that helps you? Is it the sedative properties? Maybe you can use that as a clue to what it is you are needing and find a healthier substitute or more appropriate prescription.
Wishing you luck and health. <3

I drink to self medicate. It stops all the obsessive, intrusive, and racing thoughts, and makes me feel normal, well enough to get out of my own head and do things with focus and concentration. Especially talking to other people. It also makes me feel better mood wise, like happier. My mind takes a break and can handle everything and be objective.
