ADVICE

Ignore Bender-Blurted Accusations

  • Do not treat things said while someone is intoxicated as reliable relationship feedback.
  • Protect yourself from 'grenades' thrown during a bender and address concerns when sober and calm.
ADVICE

Don’t Abruptly Stop Prescribed Meds

  • Talk with the prescribing physician before stopping life-improving meds like SSRIs.
  • Prioritize sobriety and stability now, then negotiate medication adjustments later with professionals.
INSIGHT
