I started abusing drugs, prescription and street, from the age of 13. Helped me to deal with the Miso as well as other things. Almost killed me.At the same time I started abusing alcohol which I continued for almost 30 more years till it did its damage and I gave it up for a more healthy approach to coping with the Miso. Alcohol was the only thing that enabled me to tolerate the sounds and sleep some at night. It was all ultimately destructive. I turned this agony inwardly and became very self-destructive. If at all possible stay away from habit forming substances that can destroy your spirit and body. May explain somewhat my overzealousness in finding a cure for this problem. I need to feel hopeful that the torture will end

someday. Right now NFB is giving me hope. Time will tell.Mike To: Soundsensitivity Sent: Saturday, July 28, 2012 4:51 PM Subject: Re: The Audiologic Approach

It would be good to createa survey to see if those here have tried using substance abuse to cope with misophonia. It would not surprise me at all, really.

I am not aware that these young teens are using those items, and that this is the reason why they seem to do better. I have always thought it was an increase in maturity level and self-regulation behavior.

Young children might kick or bite you if they are super frustrated. Older kids can learn to walk away or use words.

Adults may be frustrated but hide it or use logical thinking or self-management skills to simply avoid the situation in the future.

I tried abusing drugs, but like everything else I've tried, it did nothing for

the miso. Acutally, it made it worse at times: Seems like whether youre a sad,

happy, angry drunk etc; when I get drunk at any rate, whatever feelings I have

are amplified and persist longer when I'm drunk. If I get irritated when I'm

drunk, I can more easily go off the deep end and loose control; when that

happens, it becomes a downward spiral usually untill I'm sober.
