During my last period of deep depression I was getting
drunk a little to often!. But never did find the answer in the
bottom of a whisky bottle!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i drink!. My bf drank!.!. well was a full blown alcoholic I didn't know till I was living with him and drinking with him too!. (hes also sort of crazy) It is self medication, what you and I do!. But it can get out of hand quickly and create a whole nother issue like alcoholism and other addictions!.!.!. and if you have a biologic/chemical illness you become more than addicted when you are an addict it also directly affects your illness like feeding a diabetic dough nuts everyday!.

It feels like it washes it all off!.!.!. but in enough time it will prove only to be a trickster and bite you in the ***!. !.!.!.!. I know!.
Its called dual diagnosis!. And anyone who is ill and not using and any one who is a user and not ill will not be able to relate to you!.

But you must know you are playing with fire!. And eventually your medication will be your poison if you slip on that tight wire walk!. Its important to realize that lots of people do just the same as your doing Lots of services arent meant to adequatly help dual diagnosed people!. I do it too!. But !.!.!. its like keeping a rabid dog for a pet it will just as soon bite your face off if you turn your back!. Its important to know you need more than that smoke because when it innevitably turns on you you'll be just as in need of "medication"/help except with an extra dependency and all the life problems that developed in the mean time!.
best wishes!.

I used to do a variety of self medicating!. But it doesn't help!. And right now is a really tough time so I would 100x worse if I was drinking or doing worse!. I smoked cigarettes over the weekend and I caught myself feeling like I wanting to buy a pack last night!. I quit smoking after 14 years in Sept of '07 so that was a major accomplishment and I have to be very careful what I do!. I don't want to fall into that again!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

That's not getting better -- that's masking one illness with another kind of illness!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
