YAY! Lenny is wise!

I never had an issue with alcohol since by the time I was 24-25 I had pancrantitis 5 times so could no longer drink at all. (It wasn't caused by drinking, but rather a genetic condition that caused my tyglercides to spike). I get to be sober cab a lot!

My husband's (now ex) best friend is severly alcoholic. She has had issues with depression for years (she is also in denial about that). It got so bad she believed her own delusions and threatened to kill me. (Hence the EX part). So it can really effect depression to the point of delusion.

It is also the reason that doctors and medications state to not drink on Anti-depressants.

Hope that helpsed!
