Hello @ppier, I would like to add my welcome to Connect along with @artscaping. While there is no cure for neuropathy there are things that we can do to help us live with the condition as Chris mentioned. You might find the Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy site helpful for other suggestions - https://www.foundationforpn.org/living-well/.
Also, there is a wealth of experience on Connect with members with neuropathy. If you have specific questions, you might want to use the search function and typing a few words in the search box at the top of any Connect page. Here is a list of the search results using "neuropathy +what helps" in the search box (without the quotes) - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/?search=neuropathy+%2Bwhat+helps
Good evening @ppier and welcome to Connect. Good for you to be able to control your alcohol abuse. Unfortunately.......at this point in time, there is no cure for neuropathy and it is a progressive disease. It takes so long for the nerves to regenerate that the brain continues to respond to the pain as the process continues.
My diagnosis was confirmed in 2013. Immediately I was referred to medical cannabis. It has been on my daily list of treatments for 10 years. My usage has increased and so has my tolerance which happens with many medications.
May you be safe, free and protected from inner and outer harm.
Chris.
