Hi Capt,

I also began drinking as a final effort to deal with depression. I got nowhere with drs and medication. But, finally after 3 different meds and 3 different dosages of the last one, it worked. Don't give up. My life has changed completelty, after living depression for decades. Go back to your dr and keep trying.

I have learned that stopping drinking never solves the problem. It's only the beginning of the journey, that will probably continue for the rest of your life. That's working on yourself. For me, I had to deal with low self-esteem and dependency issues. I've been sober for almost 4 years and I still work on myself every day. But, things get better all the time.

I'm sorry for your despair and I do understand how badly you feel. I hope you know that there are people out here who are listening to you and who care.

Love, Anna
