Everything, absolutely everything, works better without the booze.
I honestly don't remember if the meds were working when I was drinking, because I was a daily drinker. I always had a foggy mind. My moods ware masked and muddled.
Today I am on Lithium. I still get highs and lows. It's just that the dangerous peaks and troughs have been removed. I Can live with that. Life is actually enjoyable most days.
But, I couldn't have put down the booze without the help of Alcoholics Anonymous.
They not only saved my life, but taught me how to live life without alcohol.
No regrets
