With vanishingly rare exception, addicts choose the mood altering substance that is closest to what the medically accepted treatment for their underlying disorder(s) would be.

People who are addicted to alcohol, without exception, have an underlying anxiety disorder.

People with ADHD and similar brain functioning tend to choose amphetamines.

The list goes on and it gets very complicated, because most mood altering substances have multiple effects, and most people have a blend of underlying issues. But the point is, there is a very noteworthy observation there, I feel.

I feel qualified to say this as myself I am 11 years sober and have worked in the field of addiction for 8 years and I'm formally educated.

But I liked all of the drugs.

That means you have all of the problems!

I have ADHD and I trend to get into a comfortabele alcohol Buzz every evening because it shows down the train of emotions. Amphetamines don't really feel good, nor do other drugs. I hate speed and weed.

OK but you basically just did the mood axis what do the THC, opiate, dissociative anesthetic, and hallucinogenic users have?

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

That sounds like someone who just wants the pain to go away

And I know psychedelics were good for my trauma

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

A good fucking time.
