Intelligence and Neurocognitive Psychological Testing

[PsychonautRyan]

Hi, I think I've pretty much shot my cognitive abilities to hell: back in September, I drank about a liter of gin per day for a week straight, but then went to treatment, had DTs, and was sober for three or four months. Then went on an alcohol-DXM bender, got kicked out of my Dad's house because I puked on his sofa, went to detox where they gave me a bunch of Ativan. Now I'm out and I've chugged six ounces of Robitussin and I have seven 0.5 mg. Ativan pills.

Even though I'm told I'm "very bright" and "intellectually-gifted", I feel like the inside of my brain looks like Pearl Harbor after the attack.

I want to have my intelligence tested for LD services, but I don't want my IQ inaccurately low, how long sober should I be in order to get a level picture of my intellectual portfolio? One month? Two? Three? Six?

I would say a couple months and make sure you pay any sleep debts, get some exercise and practice some mindfulness meditation, eat healthy too. Cut out sugar
