I am in therapy as I am dealing with depression and social anxiety. I have used alcohol in social situations to make myself feel better. I go home after work and before anyone gets home I have beers. When I stopped drinking during the week during lent I woke up feeling good. Now I wake up sluggish and tired. I don't like being alone, and when I am I drink to give myself something to do and to not think about regrets or worries about the future. I just don't know.
