I used to drink to bury my depression and anxiety. It didn't really help, just made it worse. Now that I'm sober my antidepressants help a lot cause I'm not drowning them in wine. And I no longer have that 'after drinking' anxiety and feeling sick. No more wasted money or wasted time. I can enjoy my life sober, and have eliminated a lot of risk just by not drinking.
