Hey, no I don’t see a therapist anymore. In my late teens up until early twenties I had one, but to be honest, therapy never worked for me. And the GP’s are generally useless. Been on/ off Prozac and everything else all my adult life and at the mo taking nothing. I just want a clear head but I’m struggling.
I’m not even sure how much of an alcohol problem I had and whether I was dependent or not. I basically could put away 2-3 bottles wine every other night without being too wasted. Comfortably drink 2 bottles that’s for sure whilst still holding my ‘dignity’ if I even had any. But then over three pregnancies and breastfeeding I managed to abstain. So I have been able to just ‘stop’, if that’s sense or even a difference?
However, past few years i’ve Felt like’ve Needed the wine. And when telling myself I would stop, I couldn’t help myself and bought the wine. And this was all drinking alone- not social drinking.
Not sure what my point is. Guess I’m trying to figure out what relationship I have with alcohol and if I can ever go back to it. But it’s got me into so much s**t over the years you wouldn’t believe it. Surprised I haven’t severely f**ked my life up.

Others who have a chronic or pre-existing depression find stopping drinking on its own can only do so much.
Do you have a Dr or therapist you see for your depression?
I really think thats the next step?
