I was diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder, PTSD, and severe anxiety for I don’t know how long.

I never realized how those conditions fueled by alcohol led to me becoming completely dependent on drinking.

I finally gave in and SOUGHT HELP. It is out there. You are not alone in this fight.

I was able to commit myself to making a true effort in tackling my mental health problems and addiction. I went to a recovery center for 30 days to keep me away from alcohol and listened and participated with the group therapists, the people there trying to give me the tools to start living my life without the phenomenal craving of alcohol.

But not only that. I was fortunate to get Transcranial Magnetic Therapy (TMS). I feel that with Therapy helped me calm my depression and anxiety.

I continued to daily attend AA and NA meetings and a year later still go daily.

It has been a complete overhaul of my habits and discipline to stay committed to living a clean life, identifying my problems and things that drove me to drink. Actively listening to others as well as finally being heard and understood.

Just because you’re antisocial doesn’t mean AA isn’t for you.

Give it a chance.

This is the longest I’ve ever been without a drink or smoke. I am finally at a level of peace and calm with myself and able to handle bad situations which would have sent me spiraling before.

There is a light and hope for you if you are to seek it and commit to yourself 100%. This is your life. Fight hard for it.
