For many of us that began drinking at an early age , it's hard for me to know. I can't recall a lot of my childhood. I just know from 13 to 14 on, drinking was involved.
6 of one and half a dozen of the other. Did i drink because, I was depressed. Did my drinking cause my depression.
Not drinking for a year will be a good way to come to grips with your moods.
I have one mood today. (((((((HAPPY))))))
