I don't know about you but I spent at least 20 years or so drinking, and a lot of that drinking was self medication for various things.
Things did get better but it still took time and work?
My second year was better in this respect than my first but I still saw improvement throughout my first year.
Not drinking didn't solve all my problems, but it gave me a fairly consistent base from which to work on.
Don't give up
That link I posted also gives some advice on dealing with PAWs - Its a good read
