I have been sober for almost a month. I have had severe depression and anxiety for the past 3 years following financial ruin and a bad relationship. The psych meds weren't working, I was desperate. What I wasn't telling the docs is that I was drinking in the evening to get some relief from the anxiety. I finally fessed up and they suggested I go into an outpatient chemical dependence program which I am in now. Here 4 weeks later of not drinking, my depression in nill and my anxiety manageable. It's telling me how wonderful it is to be clean, finally letting your tired brain begin to heal. I am feeling so different. All I can say is hang in there, it's a good thing.
