Alcoholic for ten years. Tried any drug you can name, only stayed hooked on booze. The challenge comes with the fact that I’m a functional alcoholic. I’ve never called in sick or shown up late because of a hangover. I maintain the illusion of control by quitting for 1-2 months at a time. etc.

I just quit taking newly prescribed medication for ADHD partly because I wasn’t able to drink (or do anything else) at the same time.

I put “drink less” because I do want to be able to drink from time to time. It remains to be seen whether this is actually possible.
