Alcohol can be like a curtain, hiding the real problems underneath, and when you take that curtain away, things can look pretty bad. It's not like you put down the bottle and it makes everything good. You can't solve all those problems unless you put it down, but to solve them you have to face them, and in many ways, that's more painful than putting down the bottle.
My own problems depress me quite a bit, because they undermine my belief in myself. When I drink, I am able to find alot of confidence in myself, because those problems are drowned out. It doesn't last, but it feels like the only relief I can get sometimes. Those times are my darkest, I think.
