I get so emotional baby - EPHRA2

[Shannon]

What you are describing as your response to being drunk and alcohol is a situation in which some part of you wants to escape something. Usually it is guilt, shame, fear, emotional pain and/or physical pain. It seeks the alcohol as an easy escape. But escaping is not the correct answer. It leads to misery, and prolonged misery at that. The real goal for you should be to identify what/why you respond that way, and seek healthy coping and healing mechanisms. Alcohol as a coping mechanism is and always has been an abject failure. That's part of why I do not partake of alcohol; it only makes things worse.

EHPRA 2.0 will help with this, a lot. I definitely suggest 6months minimum, given these facts to consider. Use EHPRA 2.0, but also start trying to learn the root issues and how you can cope and heal them in healthy ways, instead of alcohol. You can achieve the state you love without ever drinking again if you succeed in healing them and outgrowing them, and replacing alcohol with healthy coping and management mechanisms.
