Alcohol used to be a big problem for me. I realise that moreso when I joined psyc central and was exposed to a culture that doesnt have a drinking problem haha.

When I got stable on these meds, my need for alcohol completely disappeared. It took a few days to get out of the habit of a beer everyday but not long and it wasnt hard. Now days I barely drink at all. The other night I had a few drinks socially and man o man did i regret that. The slight hangover the next day was so not worth it, even though it wasnt severe. And that night I started getting depressive thoughts. Not too severe but bad enough to not want to drink any more.

I hope that I will never have a problem with alcohol again now that I realise just how much better life is without it. I do feel for those that are still stuggling with it, I have been there (for years) and its not nice. While people may think it is helping by having an escape it really doesnt.
