Alcohol and anxiety and depression

[Fred22]

Hi

I self medicate by drinking WAAAAY to much alcohol. And I wonder is this having an effect on my anxiety and depression? I think it does so I am trying to stop but am scared of the consequences as I am about to start a new job. I tried an AA meeting but they are more about hardened drinkers and I don’t think I am there yet. What advice can people give before it is too late ?
