Hi, I am new here. I am not sure if this is the right place to post this, but here goes.
So I am hikikomori which is basically a hermit, and it seems like the only way I can talk to anyone in person, or on the phone, is if I am at least slightly buzzed. Like a few beers or shots, or more. I do have some mild physical withdrawl symptoms if I do not drink, but nothing I cant get over in a half day/full day. never any shakes or anything, just a bit of nausea. It just seems I cannot speak to anyone if I am sober. I just grunt at them and tell them to go away. I know alcohol is badly physically addictive just... wondering about the psychological aspect of it. Even as a child I could not stand being around people. Alcohol allows me to talk to people.

Sure, psychological additions are the hardest to break IMO. I am quoting a post I made in another forum. If the guy I am referring to had a physical addiction, he would have gotten DTs when he stopped for 5 days. those can be treated and within a few days or weeks the physical addiction is gone. His psychological addiction cannot be treated by anyone else.
Your ability to verbally communicate is something that could likely be resolved in therapy. Quote:

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
