I used amphetamines mainly as an attempt to control SP. I ended up taking it every day (high doses, base) which had the opposite effect, and then some! When I gave up I started drinking, socially at first but not for long. I virtually became a hermit, only leaving the house for drink (@16 cans beer/day). So no, I didn't use drink to cope with SP. I used it to blank the world out.
Still, HAPPY DAYS! (-:
