The terrible thing is that Ketamine is actually easier to quit than alcohol.
Severe alcoholic (the type to routinely go blackout drunk) can actually die going cold turkey on stopping drinking. Alcohol addiction is on par with heroin addiction in how difficult withdrawl is.

While most will likely starve, be killed by accidents, culled, or eaten by predators it's very likely some will survive and learn to adapt causing damage to the environment for a long time, all thanks to some dumb fucking animal rights activists

From a quick bit of research; there is no current recognized treatment for BID, although antidepressants and cognitive behavioral therapy may have some effect. Interestingly those who have self-amputated report they are much happier and don't regret it.
Now, transphobes LOVE to try to claim that mental illness/ / delusions are responsible for people being trans and they need 'treatment' and not 'encouragement' but of course absolutely none of them have ever read a single bit of transgender-related science.
the TLDR of it; anti-psychotic and other psychiatric meds do not work at all for gender dysphoria, electroshocks neither, no behavioral therapy either. You know what does actually work reducing the stress related to dysphoria? letting trans people fucking exist.
This isn't 'woke' agenda, it's the result of decades of science done by incredibly bigoted people who tried literally everything they could to 'de-trans' people, including lobotomies, and it never worked. Medicine should a) follow evidence not agenda b) exist to lessen the suffering of people.

The way society treat addiction is horrible, addicts need treatment and the whole system expecting them to just tough it out without ever building proper support systems is just setting them up to fail.
And most ressources to help addicts are generally faith based and don't actually work.
Really proud of you and your husband for going sober!
