Some of my other parts are alcoholics, or we're all alcoholics, or I'm just an alcoholic. We adamantly say we're not going to drink today, but then we're buying alcohol at the end of the day, conveniently forgetting our resolve.

The littles keep asking us to stop, then we forget or trivialize that we are drinking again.

Anybody else dealing with this or have any ideas short of rehab?

Always, I have tried self medicating and find it is a habit that is hard to break mostly because the high is not that high and the resulting depression is very low.

Have you discussed options with your healthcare professionals?

one of us is addicted to cigarettes but none of the rest of us are and we hate them (well... a couple want cigs to work like they do for the addicted one and so they'll smoke them occasionally but it's really gross)
so weird and dang when he wants them he wants them
(i guess the body's addicted and so it just channels through one?)
not sure of any ideas though sorry

Well my history with alcohol has been on and off. I know that the alter that did drink for a long time decided to be cooperative and stop, after realizing how much it was causing problems for everyone in the system. It was a long process. There is someone else that drinks but it's a lot less like 1 or 2 per week vs 5-6 drinks per day. I had tried treatment aa and smart recovery, nothing worked. It wasn't until we talked in therapy
Good luck

I don't drink enough for treatment. 22 is the alcoholic, but my body can't tolerate alcohol well. I mean... SHE can... but I can't.... whatever. anyway, it's never been a problem or interfered with my daily life.
best!

Lately we only go to the store when the strongest is in control of this conveynce, as we do not want another "Who let the Bob out" incident, seems to working so far. Try to keep someone in the captain's seat, the less autopilot the better, you can do it

we ended up here tonight after several triggers today and a couple of knocks on the head (cleaning under things). 22 was like I NEED A DRINK! I had to agree with her. I did help her choose, tho, between this or that - not both. There was more dissociation in the store as well and my hopes of getting a movie from Red Box and some dinner were dashed by the need to get out.
22 had her drink as soon as we got home... but because I was still present, it hit me harder than it would her. I added more coke to it which helped and fed us, which also helped.
I guess, sometimes we can't always have say on what happens, but we can kind of guide things if still co-conscious during the dissociative moments.

Omg, I know that this sounds so stupid, but the more we drink, the noisier the head gets. No wonder why we do some crazy stuff when drunk, everyone's drunk!

We need to spearhead this problem and get fixed! But reality so so hard, nobody wants to deal.

We really need an inpatient rehab. 6 months at least.
Thanks for this!
