Hi Tamka, sorry for what you are going through right now.. I have a solution for you that works ! Please google "amino acids to recover from addiction" or find a book that's called HOW TO QUIT WITHOUT FEELING S**T , do not go back to your psychiatrist before you read this book first ! It offers natural therapy that works and is safe ! Sending love and hugs your way 🌷

It took me a good couple of weeks a few decades ago....and it was before SSRI's to deal with my depression were available at the level they are now. So hopefully your therapist can get you squared away if you previously medicated your depression with alcohol.

Hi Tamka39! I remember responding to another one of your posts a few weeks ago! You are three weeks sober. Congratulations!! So sorry you are feeling this way now. I do understand.

I went back to my last post to you and still think it may apply now to your situation. "Staying away from addictions allows us to feel more and those feelings are not always good. We DO feel lonely and tired and angry and sad. I have had to train myself to "Count my blessings" when those feelings are overwhelming me. I think, "I am thankful I am worthy, loved, and enough! I am overall healthy, have friends and family, and have a faith walk which carries me." Often, that gets me out of my funk. Hope this helps and hope you know "You are worthy! You are loved! You are enough!" because you ARE!". en

You are enough! And you are loved and worthy! Please keep persevering!!

Hugs to you, my friend.
