No, for what I’ve seen it makes everything worse…

I would say if you drank yourself into oblivian,then blacked out.Yes you would have a memory loss.
Why put yourself through that,chances are youll only treble your heartache as well as give you hangover from hell.
Also dnt forget liver damage.
Is it realy worth it.?

When dealing with trauma there is no way to not deal with it you just have to face it head first unfortunately. Maybe talking about this trauma might help… Whats up?

People will do anything to avoid thinking, replace the memorys with new, embrace and enjoy life and new assotiations and connections will replace the old, change is a good thing if you dont mind it being enevitable.

I think it would only really help you forget things while you were drunk. You’d remember them again while sober and fall into the dangerous pattern of being sober less and less to remember less and less. Put it this way: even if that did happen, one way or another you would have to recover one day. Which means that one day you would have to face up to the trauma and deal with it in a healthy manner. Do that now, before you burden yourself with more physical and psychological complications.

No, the only way to forget and put a traumatic experience in the past is to face it and make a conscious decision to prevent it from screwing up the rest of your life.
