I notice when I fall off the wagon, it’s always when my anxiety and depression are at their lowest point. I have a beautiful family. I have such a wonderful life. I’ve been on every kind of anxiety and depression medication you can imagine, and it all works…for a while. Then it stops. And that’s when I fall again. I don’t know how to stop this cycle. Anyone else have this problem? I know the act of picking up the drink is on me. I just would love to not hit rock bottom and avoid being in a position where I feel like it’s my only escape.
Have you worked a program? Gone to therapy? Have a sponsor to talk to? The only way to stop is to put the work in, and there is no way for anyone to give you a magic phrase or thing to make it stop. Get to the root of the depression and anxiety and you will have an easier path to peace. Good luck to you

Thank you. I’ve done therapy before and I do have a sober sponsor. I just am really bad about communicating when I’m having a hard time. It’s definitely something I need to work on. I’m going to give therapy another try. I’d like to think the first time around I just wasn’t ready to hear the things they were telling me.
