Alcohol is your friend at first

Then it takes away your money, job, marriage, friends, respect, children, beauty, and your self worth. Then it will hold you in that prison until you cant take it anymore and stop.

I experienced exactly what you said in the beginning..and now I wish I had never touched it. I have been sober for a year and 3 months and I am STILL picking up the broken pieces. Just my advice..many people with mental illness turn to booze..or drugs..to forget whatever our issues are..but that fix is only temporary. You will wake up tomorrow with a hangover and the issues are still there.
