I totally get wanting oblivion. But what about the next day? the problems are still there, plus you're hungover. I did it for years, until it cost me my job and worst of all my self respect plus a broken nose along the way. Wanting oblivion has landed me in 3 rehabs and an 8 week stint in a psych ward.

I'm a little over a month sober now, and I still want oblivion every day. But I want to get my life back more than that so every day I make a decision not to drink.

If you're drinking to the point of passing out - you're already playing with fire. And drinking only makes depression worse.

Is it really worth it?
