Anyone else an alcoholic because it significantly drowns out the obsessive thoughts? I’m deep in this hole but the racing thoughts come back in full force every time I try to dig myself out. They’re still awful when I drink, but SO much worse when I stop

not advocating for alcohol abuse of course and I intend to seek help eventually. But I’m so scared and I’m a horrible advocate for myself. Anyone else in the same boat?
