I am a TBI survivor, and now I find myself drinking a LOT more. Once I have ONE drink, I cannot stop. Any help, or ideas? Anyone else have this problem?

I certainly have experienced having one drink and not being able to stop but for me it was not preceded by TBI.

It might be a good idea to talk to your doctors about whether this a common thing after TBI.

Also to think about what your drinking was like before - is this a new thing, a worsening of something you had prior to TBI? etc

In any case, probably a good idea not to have one drink and then you wont have the ones afterwards. Is it possible for you to not take the first drink?

I had a TBI while in sobriety and never drank as result of it...I fell off riding lawnmower and cracked my skull in ocippital area....I suffer dizziness as a perminant effect...but I was sober and remained sober...hopefully you decide it might help you to get sober.

The age of Miracles is among Us!! C/d .....:) A challenge for me inspires either a sense of Doom or firm resolution. And of course continuing on with Sobriety solutions.
Take care ,
