> My basic point is when you feel scared and afraid alot, drink, drugs, mask, take away the feeling, until it wears off. You either recover, continue, or die-often a seemingly welcome to the problem:(

I think jail is the fourth option.

Many, many of us ended up in the drink because of those feelings. I always felt like I was never good enough, good looking enough, funny enough.....

I always felt like no one liked me and I was all alone in the world. If someone, for some odd reason, *did* like me - well, something must be wrong with him.

But a couple of drinks? I was brimming with confidence. I could do anything.

It's a chicken and egg problem, but I've read that they are finding that more depressed people start drinking than drunks end up with depression. And a high number of depressives end up drink/drug abusers.

I finally, after years, quit the drink. Will it be forever? Who knows. But I figured out I could never get a grip on the depression with the drink complicating things. It's been a long road, but I think it has been worth it.

Good luck.
