Long term effects

After I got sober I found out a lot about myself. One of which is I suffer from depression/anxiety. I've come to grips with it and often do not feel the overwhelming effects. The length of time I feel down and out are usually shorter but some times carry on for extended amounts of time. I've done research on long term effects of drinking/using and the results are different, often times, depending of which study you read. Does anyone out here have more knowledge or experience on this topic. I'm curious because it's almost been two years sober and I'm still, in some ways, trying to get it together. In no way am I saying my life is unmanageable but I'm a little worried I've screwed myself up. I started drinking/using at 14 years old and quit when I was 34. I'm now 36. I was on meds but quit taking them because I had no emotions what so ever and that's just not acceptable to me personally. And yes I tried all different types and combinations. Any input would be appreciated
