>Does this work?
Absolutely not. I used substances for the exact same reasons as you. Alcohol, weed, LSD, shrooms. At best they either didn’t work (LSD/Shrooms) or made the problem x10 worse (alcohol/weed). It will make your current predicament seem like a fucking joke, alcohol sank me further down the spiral for almost 10 years.

>no amount of "mind-altering chemicals" will fix you. apart from maybe meth
Despite this anon’s facetious statement, he’s speaking true there. The only chemical that can partially correct your fucked up executive function (power of will/focus) would be drugs in the meth family.

Most people settle for Lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse/Tyvense/Elvanse) or Methylphenidate (Ritalin/Concerta). Or just straight up Adderall (amphetamine and dextroamphetamine combo).

Notice how all the drugs have names that sounds like it takes similarity to Methamphetamine (Meth). It’s because it’s all the same category, all derivates of amphetamines.

Amphetamines ‘cure’ your problem OP. But you should only ever consider those if you have an actual diagnosable mental disorder causing your issues, namely ADHD. So don’t self medicate with it until you
a) get diagnosed, if at all
b) get prescription amphetamine derivatives safe for consumptions (that’ll be vyvanse/ritalin and debatably adderall).

Those drugs are also only a short term fix. Gives you enough drive and focus to go learn (or unlearn) the things that cause your main issue. Could be emotional, dietary, health, environment. Could be you need to learn structure, habit, routine. Who knows. The ideal is you should never require substances to function. If you have to, at least get the right ones through legitimate diagnosis and prescription.

Don’t make the same mistakes I did. Touching alcohol at this juncture of your life will ruin you.
