I got clean and sober 20 years ago from a lot of heavy drinking and drugging. Like with you it worked until it didn't and then made everything worse. My depression got worse after I got sober. Quite a disappointment because I thought I was doing all the right things and now life would be well and wonderful.
The thing is if you are clean and sober and have much more awareness of yourself and are working at it then you are heading in the right direction. What more can we do but to keep trying different things that are healthy.
I know the medication merry go round is not fun.
