I'm glad you found this site, we are here to help you through this.

We have a sister-site called the Depression Center. Have you visited the site? If not, I think you will find it a helpful resource. The programs,information and members available both on the AHC and DC will help give you the strength to climb out of this depression and return to yourself. It will also help you manage your drinking or quit altogether.

Hello Conner and welcome to AHC,

I truly understand how you feel and know it is hard to quit drinking when in a place where it's socially valued. However, if like me your drinking has taken over and you feel in a hard place in your relationship it can be good to at least try to go without.

I've personally been sober since Jan 11th 2012 and my first steps here were three years ago (I wasn't committed at first)... You have to start somewhere and be comitted to what is important to you. If you feel drinking is doing wrong maybe it's time for help and you are at the right place.

It doesn't make you less of a person but time will tell it'll probably make you a stronger one. We are all here to help you and ask questions! It's the best way to deal with your issues.

Welcome again and stay connected!

Welcome Conner. Glad you're here. I stopped drinking over a month ago--after drinking fairly steadily for lots of years. With every passing day, it gets a little easier...

my relationship of 3+1/2 yrs is suffering. my fiance doesn't want to get married in june if i can't/won't get help. i'm also tired. tired of being depressed, i'm not sure i remember what it feels like to not be depressed. i'm a professional chef and my work, social life and post work relaxation tactics all revolve around drinking. my partner is getting a masters in social work, so you can imagine how that works with me drinking every day....

Hi Conner,

There will be no judgement here. All of your feelings are completely normal. What makes you think now is the time?

hi, i've been looking for help concerning my drinking. free, non judge mental, realistic, useful help. i don't "want" to stop or cut down my drinking but, it's time. it's been time for a while. it's scary and overwhelming and the addict in me thinks it's stupid. sometimes i wish i had a less socially acceptable addiction and that makes me hate everyone that is fortunate enough to not have to struggle with addiction.
