Answer by Tyler Baldwin
Yes eating right and exercising help much when you are on the road to recovery. Whatever you do though, don’t allow yourself any excuses for returning to your previous life. It sometimes takes years for normal brain activity to return.

B vitamins are good, Niacin and Thiamine in particular. Alcoholics often have Thiamine deficiencies from what I’ve heard.

I doubt if you have any serious brain damage, though. Your spelling is excellent and you had only one minor grammatical error in your question.

If you seriously think you might have that problem, maybe you should talk to a doctor.

Q&A: Can structural damage to the developing brain, due to binge drinking during adolescence be reversed?

Question by xninjatunax: Can structural damage to the developing brain, due to binge drinking during adolescence be reversed?
Can structural damage to the developing brain, due to binge drinking during adolescence be reversed by abstinence in adulthood? (completely quitting drinking from 20 years old onwards?) Also, does the damage caused actually limit the persons ability to learn and store new memories permanently or, with abstinence, does the brain compensate by forging new neural pathways etc?

…………………………………………………………….

Ok, after reading up on this the only studies available seem to be on adolescent rats because of ethical reasons etc.
There are articles all over the internet raving about the extremely dangerous effects of binge drinking on the adolescent brain but can these results taken from studies on rats really give an understanding of binge drinking on the human adolescent? If the human brain is more complex than mabye new neural pathways will appear to compensate for lost nerve cells?
p.s. Sorry about that last part not really making sense and repeating what I’ve already said…Maybe the damage is permanent!

what would happen if you injected heroin into your brain?

Question by Tuba Man: what would happen if you injected heroin into your brain?
Pretend you are some junkie with a way to bypass your skull and insert a needle straight into your brain. First of all what would the effects of having a needle put into your brain have and second what would the heroin do? Would it just kind of make a pool in your brain or would it be absorbed by it? Would it have any effects if absorbed? A silly question, I know, but that is why I am asking here.

There are no medications that help repair damaged brain.

The best way to help yourself is to stop ingesting alcohol. There are drugs that can help you stay off alcohol however.

Vitamins are always good, but I don’t think you need any mega-doses, just the amout a body needs.

What do you think? Answer below!
