Hi maples, welcome to sr! In my case, I didn't realize that I was self medicating for anxiety and depression. I hoped that sobriety would clear these issues. It didn't.
At 6 months sober I went to my doctor and she prescribed medication. I am 13 months sober yesterday. I work on my recovery every day with sr, exercise, and my self care plan.
These last 7 months have been the happy overall time in my whole life. I didn't know I could be mostly happy most of the days, most days.
Wishing you well on your journey and again, welcome!
