I have talked about my self medicating with alcohol for a few years now with my Tdoc. I don't do it often but when I used to have a stressful time I would turn to alcohol and drink too much. Since I have been on meds and feeling better I have been around alcohol at social settings and even been coaxed to drink but I'm really not intrested!! This is very big for me. I realize now I was using alcohol as my medicine. I feel so strong to not NEED alcohol.
