Hi broken arrow ,

Oh how I know what you are saying .. been there so so many times myself years ago, well 4 yrs ago since I stopped drinking altogether .

Myself I had no choice due to cirrhosis .. yep ! Many years of drinking to escape my problems I then became dependent .

Thing is it’s so difficult at the moment with all this covid problem going on, we can’t gain access to any support of any kind and that is what you need , Councelling and CBT therapy , I had 3 yrs of CBT , sporadically over the years and it really has helped immensely to cope with anxiety and thinking process , you need antidepressants to lift your mood .

Do you have anyone you can talk to? Have you spoken to anyone on here at the forum main admin team ? .. thing is your so very right in saying alcohol and depression and anxiety all go together , you need a plan of action , someone to help you start your journey to getting and staying out of this Black hole .

Hello pleased to meet you..

Sorry to hear what has happened.

I have just joined this part of the website have long term addiction now clean 13 years wishing hoping to help to help my community.

First thing may I suggest is can not do this on your own have to recognise this.

If you are doing this sorry just not going to work even though may try..

Addictive substances alcohol need specialist knowledge and care ... Professional support staff..

I do not know where you live but am going to give some organsations to advise give you support.

alcoholics-anonymous.org.uk

drinkaware.co.uk

talktofrank.com

All these are UK based.

I would also advise talking to if UK based speak to mental health charities..

richmondfellowship.org.uk

mind.org.uk.

All have advisors own rehab facilities.. If suffering anxiety and depression..

I would if not living UK look at the services in your communities they will be equivelent organisations..

One other complication you have is your partner who drinks.. If he is and asking you to then difficulties can ensue so the choices can be limited..

To be staving off the problem could be then to consider the nature of your relationship ..

Unless he has a problem too then can advise and support on both issues.. The problem is love and being loyal open honest with a partner if he is not of exceptance...

Needs to support you then how are you going to stave cope.

I had this made the decisions no one wishes to but had to..

No one likes to hear any one struggling hope today helped ..
