When the pain of a miscarriage or pregnancy loss gets unbearable, it is tempting to pick up a bottle of wine or an alcoholic beverage to numb that pain. It is also tempting to use prescription drugs to cope, to help you sleep or to help you take the edge off the pain. While this method of dealing with your grief may only work for a short while, the grief is still there when you are done with the effects of your drink or drugs. All you are doing is postponing the reality of dealing with the grief of your miscarriage.  If you are tempted to turn to a substance to help through your grief, seek help. Talk to someone and let them know what is going on.
