Last night my wife called me an alcoholic. Not in a mean way, just matter of fact. Since the Melbourne Covid lockdowns I’ve been a daily drinker, about a bottle of wine per night, the wasted money alone is a tragedy, then I also think about my kids..

I know Im supposed to seek medical/professional help but I’ve always been one to do it myself. I don’t know anyone on this app so I feel like a can say this here, even if no one reads it just writing it out and throwing it into the void feels better than nothing.

It’s 5:30am, shitty sleep as usual from the bottle of wine. The last bottle was a wedding gift for the both of us but ended up being my regular Wednesday night.

Day 1.

I’m an Aust mental health practitioner. If you seek mainstream advice, you will be given 101 reasons why it’s all your fault and nothing to do with broken gov/systems/corruption/late stage capitalism. Maybe it’s a trauma story of avoidance/childhood messiness whatever, but if you want to live better, go hard on reading, learning, YouTube, podcasts. Start with Gabor Mate. Learn about addiction, neurobiology, behavioural repatterning. Do online courses on therapies, acceptance and commitment therapy, family systems therapy, schema therapy, Intergenerational therapy. Do a guided psilocybin assisted therapy ( not just a trip). Get off on Jung for a while, go hard on complex PTSD ( if you have childhood stuff). Be your own therapist, but please, please, please don’t self diagnose- it’s a trap. If you still have issues, message me. Bitcoin accepted here 🧡
