I have been feeling so depressed the last few weeks and I don't even know why, nothing has gotten worse, hasn't gotten better either but no worse than it was, im still inlove with somebody I can never have, hate my job, in debt to my eyeballs with nothing to show for it etc
but ive been getting really bad the last few weeks, im scared at the moment as I never drink but ive been drinking 5 nights in a row, I thought it was just because there was alcohol in the fridge but I went to the bottle tonight to buy more because I had ran out, so it is scaring me a bit, I have had a few alcoholics in my life and do not want to end up like that but I think I might be, I have been smoking pot a bit more to and when I don't have it I want it but most of the time I cant get it due to my dealer being caught, im not sure what to do, is it just a phase I will get over? because it is at the point that as soon as I walk in the door from work I start drinking until I go to bed and the other day I wanted to start drinking at lunch time, I didn't even start until like 6 on my 18th

dear Gibby, I'm sorry but your depression and not being able to see the one you love has unfortunately caused this.
You just like I did drank alcohol to numb our feelings, however it can go the other way as well as we can become even more upset.
At first it does it job at first by blocking out those bad feelings, but as you drink more then that's when your depression can then become emotionally distraught, and by smoking pot only encourages you to drink more.
I am caught between your drinking and not, I can't condone what you are doing, because I did it, but in hindsight I know that it's only delaying your recovery, whereas I know other people are entitled to their view and that would be to stop drinking, but you won't be able to do this until you get professional help.
I know the desperation that you are suffering from and this includes the job that you hate, which we can talk about on the next post, because there's a bit to think about. Geoff.
