I had a second head injury,concussion. ct came back fine, but its been a few months and i still feel not myself. is it possible to heal? i still drink

Yes: Recovery after head trauma can take 1-2 years. It is better to eliminate all and any insults to brain, including alcohol after repeated head injury to allow recovery.
