My experience of drinking, taking drugs, etc is based on my lack of care for myself caused by not thinking and feeling that I can do anything on this planet. I.e. After drinking and taking drugs since I was 15 years old I suddenly felt my inner self screaming at me to “care for me”. I realized that I thought…we’ll everyone drugs and takes drugs so I can to cause it makes me feel better. I had zero self esteem and when I realized this i stopped and took care of myself. My self talked to me and I became and felt stronger in my esteem … more than I ever did.

I know that there are ketamine treatments in the US, but I was fearful due to lack of research and did not want a trigger due to my history of use of psychedelics recreationally when I was younger.

Acceptance to the fact that you have the disease of alcoholism is the beginning. If you had another disease it may be easier. It is a disease. The Best disease to have, all you may need to do is to go to A.A. meetings where you will meet people with the same disease. It us a disease, not a disgrace.
Some go for detox and rehab. It is ashame that Alcoholism presents itself in quite an unacceptable way, yet if you told folks you have diabetes they wld have compassion. When you say I have Alcoholism you may get a different reaction from those that don't understand. Go forward and stick with the winners.
