More in depth intro

Greetings all.

I'm a 43 year old male with drinking problems. I also suffer from clinical depression and generalized anxiety disorder, which prevents me from working
any type of regular job.

I'm a Martial Arts instructor by trade, but my work is sporadic. I've struggled with quitting alchohol for the last year, after having beat it (I thought via Rational Recovery) years ago.

When I drink, my psychological problems are multiplied several times. This last time, I thought I might end up in the hospital. On top of that I stole the money I used to drink (I did replace it almost the same day). Simply terrible. I have to
quit. I must quit. If I drink again, I'm afraid I'll end up in the psyc ward.

The twelve steps have never set well with me (to say the least), so I'm exploring other options. I do crave a support system, hence me joining the forum.

Hope this finds you all sober and well.

Welcome, this is a great place to meet like minded people. I am in the early stages of sobriety and too have mental issues resulting from my previous alcohol problem.

Good lucky with your recovery
