i'm a recovering alcoholic. once i was told a very helpful idea-"if i drink to gain a feeling or drink to rid myself of a feeling i probably have a drinking problem".
in recovery i've found a peace, a serenity, a happiness i had never experienced before in my entire life. why not consider AA for a start? you may learn there are others with the same concerns there who have suggestions. there are other methods used to put down the drink but for me it was the one i chose. i'm thankful i did. i wish you well. |
Well I have made a decision to quit. I did some reading about how alcohol causes depression and anxiety. I am more clear now on the topic. I thought that alcohol only caused depression
when you are drinking. I am glad I did some research. I going to make a plan of action right now which includes attending one meeting a day online and one face to face meeting once a week. It is going to be really hard to go to a face to face meeting because I have people anxiety but I will set a goal.
