Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Professional help: Please talk to your family physician & be very candid. This type of yo yo'ing is really hard on your body. S/he may recommend consultation with an addiction medicine specialist. What ever you have done so far, has not stopped this pattern - so it is time to put your trust in another. Take care.
