Alcoholic and drug user, sober over 30 years.

The why is trickier. I come from a long line of high functioning alcoholics. I believe there is something genetic there.


I think it eased my mental distress.

And perhaps the occasional use of psychedelic drugs delayed or prevented some times of mental illness. There is more and more research out there on those types of drugs. And after trying a whole boatload of meds for depression over the last 10 years (wasn't depressed before that), I now take intranasal ketamine and it works like magic. So maybe there was something driving the drug use. I don't know.
