> Glad to see people are paying attention to this. I posted awhile ago on SPB asking for experiences w/ drinking - no response. I did get some responses from my post on Psychological Babble - which have helped me stay strong in that I need to stop drinking to try to give my depression the best possible chance to go away.

Social things aren't my problem - its times like tonight when I am so sick and tired of being depressed and isolating myself, and feeling hopeless that I'll ever break this pattern. But, I'm giving the not drinking thing a chance - we'll see.
