No better place to seek advice on personal issues than the relative anonymity of a message board right?
I suffer from alcoholism and depression. It's ruining my life, my work, my marriage, everything. Happiness used to come easy for me, but it just doesn't anymore. I used to drink in moderation, but these days I've been drinking to feel happy. I haven't gone to bed sober in over a year. I'm right on the brink of destroying my marriage, if I haven't already, and I'm tired of dragging my wife through the mud and I'm tired of being miserable. I'm addressing the depression aspect via therapy, but I'm seeking advice from anyone who has quit drinking. How did you do it? Therapy? Working out? Cold turkey? Church? Any and all suggestions are welcome. I'm not looking for sympathy, only suggestions.
