Iā€™ve realized that I should put this here too. From my daily gratitude:

Today, I am grateful for the Loosid video called ā€˜Impact of Past Trauma on Addictionā€™. I learned about something called an ACES score. Itā€™s a test that gives you a reading on your level of childhood trauma. I took it. Then, I researched my score a bit online and found that an ACES score of 4+ can increase your chances of becoming an alcoholic by 7X. Iā€™m a 4+. That caused me to ask what that meant as a percentage. The healthy population has a 7% alcoholism rate. Bear with me, Iā€™m not a math wiz or a psychologist, but thatā€™s a 49% chance.

I carry the gene as well. Which, comes with another 50% probability. I have a chronic pain disorder- about 30%+ more there. I spent 10 years in a relationship with someone who ticks every box for covert narcissism. He was only one of my stellar selections. With that ACES score, Iā€™ve been a recovering codependent for 6 years. My corresponding PTSD diagnosis adds another 40-50% probability.

I would never have started drinking if I possessed this knowledge earlier. Knowing this, I am 1000% (lol) positive that I shouldnā€™t try to form a ā€˜normalā€™ relationship with alcohol for the 10,000th time. I find abstinence easier to maintain when I realize how stacked against me the cards REALLY are. I share this here for others who may be grateful for another reason to make it another day. Thank you Loosid!!

I am in counseling for some months.,The counselor has told me I have been through a huge amount of trauma. That these past events have contributed to my 25 year alcoholic addiction. At age of 73 I am still struggling with alcohol abuse. I am not giving up ever!

I comprehend that he is implying a level of expertise in the subject matter being discussed. Essentially, he is posing questions to her, and she is providing responses. Therefore, it can be understood in that manner. However, it is important to note that this is merely my personal opinion, and everyone has their own. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that this is not his first experience with videos and engaging in this type of activity. Consequently, it is crucial to remember that a significant portion of this content is genuine, but individuals may react differently to certain situations. It is possible that this is simply his character, but I hope that you gain knowledge from this experience. I intend to acquire as much knowledge as possible, even if it is only slightly more than before I began watching the video. In fact, it is more knowledge than I had before I started watching the video. Therefore, I suppose I am progressing. Have a pleasant day.
