Alcohol and Drug Abuse in relation to ED & SH. Mental Heath Videos with Kati Morton
This week I discuss the difference between alcohol and drug abuse versus dependence, and how we can use substances in leu of using our ED or SH. I hear so often that people who struggle with SH or EDs also use alcohol or drugs as another way to cope. We can even recover from our ED or SH and be using drugs or alcohol instead.. so that we really don’t find any healthy coping skills, instead we just switch one unhealthy coping skill for another.
The way to get out of this horrible cycle is to begin journaling, seeing a therapist and joining NA or AA!! Through that we can figure out what it is that we are trying to numb out from or a feeling that we want to ignore. Then we can work the actual issue or cause of our substance abuse. I know it’s hard work, but take it one step at a time. We can beat the urges and get back on track to a Healthy Body and a Healthy Mind!!
