We allowed to just have one beer or apple cider… I have not drank in awhile… forgot if it has bad effects… one beer… or glass of wine…?
Yes, but the problem is its never just one,
one turns into 2
2 turns into 4
4 turns into a half bottle of gin
etc etc

Me too. I can drink only one 5 oz. glass of wine or one beer. I can drink only one shot of Amaretto in coffee.
I think an alcoholic is someone who cannot stop at one or two. For me, it shroomed into one or two half-cases (over time). It’s up to the individual to learn if they can drink or not.
If alcohol is contraindicated for your medications, you shouldn’t be drinking anything. Period.
People who go against their treatment generally don’t do as well as those who follow it properly.

I envy people who can drink alcohol every day in moderation, I have always struggled doing that.
Alcohol is the only thing that have made me feel happy, but I can’t drink in moderation, I think it is because I feel unhappy all the time and when I drink it takes the unhappiness away so I want to continue to feel happy.
I take Paroxetine for anxiety and it makes it possible not to depend on alcohol every day.
I know alcohol is not the answer for my unhappiness but what is?

It’s not a recommendation but I found it relieves some of my symptoms too. When I was an alcoholic last year for 6 months where I drank everyday 8 to 12 bottles it actually cured me from depersonalization/derealization. Now I’m a parttime alcoholic (4 days sober, 3 days drunk), same here, it makes me happy, able to socialize, replenishes some of my negative symptoms. I also tend to deal with positive symptom more easily when drunk, like I’m more aware.
