I think I'm a sociopath and an alcoholic

[Chopsticks]

No matter how hard I try, I just can't stop drinking. No matter how much I tell myself it's wrong, I can't stop drinking. No matter how much I wrongly manipulate my partner into buying me drinks, I can't stop.

I think that I'm a sociopath. Then I just think that I'm an alcoholic. Idk. I need your opinions. I don't wanna go to a psychiatrist irl and say that I think I'm a sociopath, but I have major anger issues, and I lack of empathy in most social situations.

I do have a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder, but I think that maybe it was wrongfully diagnosed. Sometimes, I CAN feel full empathy, while other times, I can't feel it at all. I believe this is just due to how the autistic mind works, but I don't know for sure.

I also heard that a real sociopath would never make such a thread, but idk...

I know I have a problem, and I'm willing to seek professional help, but I just want the opinions and advice of others before doing so, so I don't look completely foolish in front of the psychiatrist.

Trust me when i say this, but there is literally no way to look foolish infront of a psychiatrist, they've seen it "all".

Mentality can be part of the problem, first and foremost(in my unprofessional opinion) you either need to find something that gives you a similar buzz of drinking, BUt IS WAY SAFER.

Alternatively, you should think about how this might affect others and use those feelings to stop yourself from drinking,Any other problem your having basically.

Overall try to change your way of thinking, instead of going "Oh this is happening because im _____" Find a way to make it better instead, optimism is your right hand wing-man.

This is a opinion, and im not qualified , hope you find your own solution

Thank you very much for your opinion and advice.

I've tried Morning glory seeds (which have a very similar effect to LSD), DXM(somewhat similar to K), cigarettes, amongst others, but I've not yet found the same buzz that I'm looking for, sadly.

However, I must point out that you said that, I must consider the effect my drinking has on others. But I do not have this "wrong" feeling. It's not a feeling of bad, but rather a feeling of success, if that makes sense.

I believe my solution will be found in myself, to get better. But to get better from what, I wonder? Is it my alcoholism, drug problem, autism(which has no cure), possible sociopathy, or all the above?

You're not a sociopath. Sociopaths don't care, but you care.

Okay, good. Or is that what I make you THINK (since sociopaths tend to be very good manipulators)

I shant ever, just stop getting drunk and be more mellow. If you cant stop getting drunk find something that completely distracts you from it.
Something that you find, fun or interesting that you dont even think about drinking while your doing it.

I haven't found anything that distracts me from drinking though... I've tried for about a year now

Ask your doctors and you family about this, anyone who can make the slightest help will make you stop. Instead of drinking alcohol try drinking water or any fruit juices
