Hey All,

It took me 2+ years to realize that I have a problem with alcohol and that perhaps it has worsened my depression over time.

I began drinking more often a few years ago. At first it was here and there but then on my days off alone at home I started drinking earlier and earlier and so now I'm trying not to drink alone. I am thinking about it every day, though. I also let my psychiatrist know I was depressed and she allowed me to bump up in my zoloft dosage.

It is day 4 and every day I fantasize about drinking! I'm still going to have one or two in the company of others, it's a big part of how I socialize.
