Alopecia and Addiction

Are there any of you who have used drugs and/or alcohol to cope with the stress of Alopecia? I noticed there are no groups for this area.

I'll be honest & say that, early on, right after I was first diagnosed, I did turn a lot to alcohol. I don't think you're alone, there, but everyone handles it differently.
Wish I could help, but all I have is personal experience.
I hope someone else can offer some insight.

Thanks Amy, I'm actually good now, but just wondering if there are others out there. I started a group Alopecia & Addiction. You should join.
