  • Was severe albeit functional alcoholic til age 40. AA never worked. What finally worked was harm reduction, moderation management. Medical marijuana became a thing, and just one hit of a pocket pipe of medical grade indica… good for hours. No longer needed to drink a case of beer each night.

    1st few years… I’d say, I’ll let myself have 8 beers this year. Next year was 6. Year after, 3. By then, triggered addiction cravings stopped happening.

    So weird, how overpowering the addiction felt when I was trapped in it.






  • Update 2 days later: Many useful comments. I now have text doc filled with apps, software, podcasts, etc to research, try out.

    This posted question was weird, obscure. Could’ve been ignored, ridiculed. Barely slept in 4 weeks cuz hearing voices. Desperately hoping against hope.

    So, small group of random internet strangers taking question seriously, offering constructive solutions instead of ridicule? You’ve helped a lot. Thank you.



  • Been listening to combo of three audio files, white, pink and grey noise to block out all frequencies. 2 are youtube videos, and designed white noise loop I created in a sound editor program .

    No matter how varied each sound source is, even in combo, there will be pattern variations that become predictable on repeat.

    Kinda like how fremen walk on the sand in dune. Have to walk with no pattern, to not attract sandworms.
