It scares me as I feel I will always have this cloud hanging over me and sometimes it will rain and rain heavily. I am unsure if I can always be so resilient, for ever and ever.

It depresses me too and I know that the decision to drink or not it totally up to me. I have to take the numerous steps to eventually raise the glass up to my mouth. I know that if I fail then I will blame myself so much I will end up pretty depressed for a period.

Other than that I'm great.
OMG! You expressed exactly how I'm feeling right now, right up to the difficulties yesterday at work. Well said.
