Welcome Lisa, it's great you have come here. This is a very supportive and caring community.
I came here 91 days ago. Before that I drank daily and could not say how long it had been since I went a day without. I drank for atleast 7 years. For nearly a year I woke hungover everyday swearing I would not drink...but I could never stick to it. I just couldn't understand what was wrong with me. By reading and posting here and attending AA I have learnt so much and this has enabled me to not drink.
I also am a sufferer of depression and anxiety but I have to agree with others, my drinking was causing both to get much worse. I do still take medication and have days where both trouble me but I am learning other skills now to cope.
It may feel difficult to believe at the moment but you can do the same, you really can.
Keep posting and reading here, we are here for you.
