Sober Again..
Hi Everyone-
I used to post here long ago... long, long ago... under a different name. I think I started in 2004 and stopped around 2007. I am back!
I relapsed for a few years and I was a functional alcoholic. I am back because I don't like what the alcohol is doing to my weight or my marriage. I get very angry when I drink at times and my husband has expressed concern.
But I am doing this for me. I also started going to therapy, which has been really great. I suffer from depression and anxiety and this has been a tough year for me. My therapist is helping me work on developing boundaries instead of over-extending myself.
Anyway, this forum helped me a lot in the past and I am glad to be back!

welcome back! Anxiety and depression seem to be a common element for a lot of people with drinking problems. The best way to address them is to eliminate the alcohol first and then ascertain if they are underlying conditions that caused you to self-medicate. I know anxiety is big issue for me. But, my first goal, right now is just to remain sober. You will find a lot of wisdom and love here
