My alcoholism was progressive. So was the depression because that is the way alcoholism kept it's hooks in me.
Age wasn't a factor ("just the fact that when you grow older you get more responsibilities and hence, the depression gets harder because you might fail to fulfill them") because hindsight has shown me that I am younger today than I was 15 years ago when my journey started.
When I was drinking, I don't know if I was OCD although I did have high levels of anxiety. I imagine I was just plain anal retentive and had high levels of anxiety because of my drinking (part of the hooks). At any rate, recovery has eased those things.
I hope you guys have a wonderful and sober Thursday.
I plan to have a sober Thursday, the wonderful part is totally contingent upon me. :~)
