My alter is drunk

Postby firewood87 » Wed Feb 20, 2019 7:17 am

Hi, weird question here, but one of my parts is very loud and out of control and I've realised she is drunk. Not actually drunk, but she drank a lot many years ago and somehow froze that feeling inside herself and feels and acts like she is drunk all the time.

Anyone heard of anything like this or know how I can help her? I think she is doing it to avoid feelings but it's pretty embarrassing.

I have heard of a drunken part, but I'm not sure how she was helped.

Trigger warning: SA of children, drugs.
That part was a lttle in a system, who had been molested by their dad from young age. There were other parts who remembered the abuse, and one who remembered that the abuser gave them either alcohol or some drugs before molesting. She couldn't walk straight at all or stand really and was really scared because of that, and she didn't know why she was feeling like that or what happened then. She was stuck with the feeling of being drunken and unable to control herself. Trigger warning ends

They were in therapy and I think they did the same thing than with all, helped her to realize this world and that the memory is no longer true. Your part may be different, if she wants to be drunk willingly.

Maybe if you get to know what she is avoiding, you can help her to deal with the feeling some other way. Like giving her some way to vent it out of her, or maybe to understand that the feeling is not true, if it's some traumatic belief. If it's too much all kind of feelings, maybe give them all names, so it doesn't feel uncontrolled pile of everything. Or if it is some memory, maybe she could learn being grounded and control the feeling of it that way, not by avoiding it. Because even if she wants to be drunk, she must understand that as long as she avoids, she must keep running away from the thing. And maybe she does want to be able to let the past stay in past, not chasing her anymore. It's hard to know what helps, when you are not sure what the problem is, and even then it's up to her what she finds relieving.

The twins get really high sometimes. They're not high all the time but they can get high.

I found it weird but came to the conclusion you've come to that they have that feeling locked somewhere from when I smoked weed as a teenager and can recreate it.

I have a drunk personality. His name is Jack. (We Never drank... or used drugs in the outer world).....So I'm not sure why he is the way he is. He almost acts too strange to just be drunk......but I don't know.

He affects me whenever he is near me......I get really "loopy" feeling. Everything is hilarious when he is around......I stagger....etc.
