absolutely. I try to avoid it. But sometimes I give in.

When I'm depressed and feeling suicidal, alcohol has been the tipping point to put thoughts into actions.

When I'm anxious, I crave alcohol to sooth me.

Alcohol has sent me into a very bad mixed episode on a few occasions.

I don't drink much, or often, but I want to give it up completely, because I feel it could be the death of me someday. Suicidal ideations are sometimes too hard to resist when my judgment is impaired further by alcohol.
