ours problems.

Answer 2

That's what I thought with my drinking and depression; I ended up with two major problems instead of one, and since alcoholism was the one that was most visible, folks ignored my complaints of depression, didn't take them seriously and it almost killed me.

If you use alcohol to mask mental health problems and you remove the alcohol, you end up with something called the rebound effect, whatever you were attempting to cover up come back magnified. Best to deal with your mental health issues NOW before they become even more difficult to work through.

Answer 3

Answer 4

Since you can't stop, you have a major problem.  And who says it helps with your mental problems?  Maybe you are too drunk to realize it doesn't really help at all - you just don't care!  In the long term, you are doing much much more damage to yourself by becoming an alcoholic - please get some help soon!
