Congratulations on 6 days!
Just my experience: the depression did not go away after I stopped drinking. There were definite underlying issues I used to drink "away". The list is long and I required extra, outside help.I couldnt stand my own company. I feel a million times better now and have no thoughts of drinking, i am not white knuckling it. Hopefully for you ; the depression will subside now that youve stopped. You can get more input on your questions about depression and alcohol by posting in the Mental Health Forum. I wish you the best.
