Yasmine Bree2 months agoMy husband is an alcoholic, though not the type who drinks all day, every day, but he needs to achieve at least a slight buzz most days. If he decides not to drink, it’s all he can think about. We’ve fought almost exclusively about his drinking for a long time, with many of the arguments happening when he’s already drinking. There have been cycles where he quits and gets in great shape, only for alcohol to creep back in again. Recently, he’s said he’s going to try microdosing to rewire some damaged neuropathways. Let me clarify—I’ve used psilocybin with intention before having kids and believe in its potential benefits. I do think it will become more widely accepted as research on it progresses. That being said, we have a 2-year-old and another baby on the way. I’ve made it clear that if alcohol isn’t fully removed from our lives, it would be a deal breaker and one of the main reasons I’d consider divorce. I quit drinking months ago on purpose, even though I didn’t drink much or often, to avoid enabling him. Being pregnant, I’m overwhelmed by all of this. On one hand, I see the potential benefits of microdosing, but on the other, I feel that alcohol should be removed completely without introducing microdosing as another factor. Has anyone had success with using microdosing to combat alcoholism? Any advice for a pregnant, work-from-home mom with a 2-year-old, working 40 hours a week, who’s just trying to get through the day? I feel completely alone in this. He believes microdosing will help him feel grounded and connected, but I feel lost. Please help.245
