hi everyone. been drinking since 5 am. its more of me trying to not feel depressed and anxious. things are going totally wrong on my end. just really down. my son does not want to be here, and the person that i live with acts as if nothing is happening...i asked and he bought me a tall can of beer this morning. i know i have some mental issues. believe i had a breakdown some years ago, maybe in 2007...so maybe drinking to cope? i know i am all over the place. just wanted to reach out.

Do you desire to quit drinking Breezy? If so there are a lot of steps you could take to achieve that goal.

Hi Breezy.

Have you seen a doctor? That would probably be a good first step. I used drinking to cope with everything and I just managed to make everything worse.

It doesn't have to be like this, there is help and hope.

Breezy, you will continue to be "all over the place" until you finally stop. When I was an active alcoholic it was hard to make sense of anything. It was just all fun in the beginning and dark and despair at the end. Once I stopped and was able to look at myself, that was the time I started to get better. I hope you quit today and never give up on yourself.

Thank you for responding. i'm just in pain right now. need to get out of my head. it's like i have a mental block when it comes to thinking anything positive.

You can learn to change your thinking and to focus on the positive.

I'm glad you reached out for support.

My anxiety decreased substantially after getting sober for a while Breezy. Have you tried quitting recently at all?

Quitting drinking improved my mental health a lot. I no longer have the need to drown my feelings. I can face them and am not afraid of them anymore.
